La Cocina de Santos
Calle ávila nº1
San Pedro Alcantara
952 19 60 29
Large restaurant with seating for over 150 people, both inside and on the outside terrace, so great for events and large groups.

Authentic Spanish tapas, and at very reasonable prices, this restaurant is often packed out with locals, especially in the summer months, when it’s warm enough to sit outside. It’s a great atmosphere, and the staff are always friendly. This is one of our favourite places to come for tapas in San Pedro, and often take people here when they are visiting to give them the ‘tapas’ experience.

Family friendly restaurant that is a favourite with the locals and tourists, Alfredo’s is one of San Pedro’s most famous restaurants, having been there for over 20 years. It is always busy, and can be difficult to get a table in the summer, so you must book!

Typical Spanish décor and cuisine, Alfredo’s has an extensive menu of tapas, dishes to share, and main meals. There is fresh fish and meat available, some of it on display when you walk in!

Cerveceria La + Fria
Edificio Acqua, Locales, Av. del Mediterráneo,

D’Aquinos Restaurant & Tapas Bar
P.º Robledano, 3, 29670
San Pedro Alcántara, Málaga
952 18 58 09

We discovered this restaurant when they liked a post on our Instagram page. We are big foodies here at the San Pedro Guide so when we saw the photos, we knew we had to try it. We were so pleased we did. They offer many dishes and their tapas is traditional with a modern twist. Well worth checking out.

El Candil Restaurant & Bar
C. Andalucía, s/n, 29670
San Pedro Alcántara, Málaga

This is another San Pedro institution. Run by the charismatic Alfonso, it has probably one of the best wine collections in the area. Alfonso is highly respected in San Pedro and if you need wine recommendations, he is somewhat of an expert. On a recent visit to El Candil I got chatting to a lady at the wine cellar when she pointed to a bottle and said “that bottle is mine”. I of course politely said “please you have it”. What she meant was that it was HER vineyard and that was HER wine. IT WAS LOVELY!!

Restaurante Degusto
Av. Pablo Ruiz Picasso, 39,
29670 San Pedro Alcántara,
Málaga
+34 951 62 93 67

This is located on the upper road of San Pedro not far from Mercadona and next to the Dominos pizza and virtually opposite the charity shop Mariposa. They are open for lunch and dinner serving traditional Spanish food with a modern twist. The oysters were great and some of their tapas plates were outstanding, especially the char grilled leaks. We can also highly recommend the Chateaubriand.

The Hogan Stand
Avenida Luis Braille
San Pedro Alcantara
952 78 62 31

A great place to meet up with friends for a few drinks, or for a hearty meal. The Hogan Stand is owned by Irishman John Hogan, and managed by Ross Duggan. The staff are all from various parts of Ireland, and are very chatty and friendly. You can even pop in on your own, and there’ll always be someone to chat to. They regularly have live music, both during the week, and at weekends, as well as a weekly quiz night every Thursday, hosted by TRE’s Hannah Murray. They also have TV’s showing all the important sporting events, as well as the regular football and rugby matches.

If it’s a light pub snack you’re after, they do things like Nachos, Fish or Chicken Goujons, and Toasties. They also have a beautiful restaurant area, with some delicious dishes including Chicken Roulade, John Dory on a bed of Chive Mash, as well as Irish Fillet Steak.

29670 San Pedro Alcántara,

951 89 99 38

This is one of our favourite restaurants in San Pedro. It is run by two of the children of Simon Benisty of Albert & Simon. The food is modern, stylish and more importantly very tasty. Highly recommended for a night out and dining in style.

We LOVE this restaurant too. The decor is very modern and funky, the service is fabulous and the food is a fusion of Spanish, South American and Asian. A must have are the satay chicken wings!!

G-Wine
Av. Mar Mediterráneo, 10, 29670 Marbella, Málaga
Phone: 697 28 12 03

As well as an excellent wine list there are some great dishes from modern tapas to larger meals like steak and fish. It has become a popular place to eat and is worth a try.

La Kasita Tapas y Mas
Av. Marqués del Duero, 29670 San Pedro Alcántara, Málaga
Phone: 637 50 64 96

Going to have a bit of a rave about this one. Ate there very recently and had some amazing and very different food. This is where the Belgian restaurant used to be but it is now a Dutch tapas restaurant. A must try is their Indonesian meatballs or beef rendang spring rolls.

Da Brunos San Pedro
Urb. San Pedro del Mar,
Av. Mar Mediterráneo, 1E,
29670 San Pedro Alcántara, Málaga
Tel: 952 78 68 60

Probably the most well known Italian restaurant in San Pedro, Do Brunos is pretty much a household name. They have other restaurants around Marbella and offer consistent quality food and good service. Can feel like you are in a ‘chain’ sometimes but still well worth a visit.

Luini San Pedro
C. Andalucía, 6,
29670 San Pedro Alcántara, Málaga

Tel: 602 65 23 56

Having been recommended this restaurant by many different people, it took us a while to get there but we have to say the food and service was superb and will definitely become a regular with us. We also found it to be great value!

Babu Trattoria

Yasmin
Calle Lopez de Mena, 19
San Pedro Alcantara
Tel: 951 398 528

A selection of hot and cold dishes from Morocco and Lebanon. A great way to try Arabic food.

There are a number of restaurants along the promenade in San Pedro or very close by. The main ones to look out for are listed below,

Hawaii Kai
This is a popular little restaurant and beach bar located about the centre of the promenade.

Kala Kalua

This has recently been refurbished and is located right on the beach at the end of the promenade and is famous for its fish and seafood dishes.

Marabierta Restaurant
Av. de los Angeles, 197, 29670
San Pedro de Alcantara,
Marbella, Málaga
952 79 98 37

Although not strictly on the beach, it is right next to it and has become a very popular place to eat all year round. A mix of meats, fish and seafood with very reasonable prices. We have always enjoyed the food here and can recommend it.

Chiringuito Guayaba Beach
Playa Linda Vista, La Gitanilla,
s/n, 29670 San Pedro
952 78 49 69

Only open during the summer this is a beach bar with a very cool vibe. It gets packed when it is open as it is literally on the beach. One of our favourite venues for lunch and dinner during the summer months and the food is simple but great.

El Ancla Beach Club & Restuarant
Av. Carmen Sevilla, s/n,
29670 Marbella, Málaga

While this is more known for being a beach club, they have a wonderful restaurant overlooking the sea. If you book try and get a table on the terrace right by the sea. It feels like you are dining on a cruise ship! I always feel that the decor and service is very much that of the south of France, but the food is very much about the fish and seafood of Spain. Not cheap but a great experience!
