Restaurante Oliva

Although the higher end of the dining budget, this place delivers on all fronts. We have had several family gatherings here and have been blown away each time. Booking in advance a must! Just forty minutes drive from us and perfect for that special day/evening out.

Bodegas Bentomiz

We had our first experience recently for a friends Birthday celebration. Wow! The tour and taster option is very reasonably priced too. Sixty minute drive with asphalt roads door to door. Booking in advance only.

Hotel Molino de Los Abuelos

Recently under new management this hotel/restaurant is accessed by the village plaza. Once through the entrace and reception (just keep walking through), it opens up to an incredible back terrace with a balcony view over the south down to the Med. The menu is superb and varied to suit most needs. The outdoor grill is fired all year round. Great selection of wine too!

Taberna Restaurante Padre Pío

With a little faith regarding the location, this is great place to drop back off the beach and get away for a fusion filled menu.

Bar Restaurante Eclipse

A short trip up the coast (can be walked from Torre del Mar) to a very unique fishing port for some of the freshest seafood in the area.

Aljibe de Mazmúllar

A ten minute drive (or 30 minute walk) to the base od Masmullar. An easy climb/hike to the summit within 40 minutes. The added bonus of two local bar restaurants when you make it back down.
