"All was nice, they did have a lot on the menu which was not available (and didn't tell us straight away). What we ate though, was nice and the type of food you'd have a your granny's house."

"We accidentally came across this nice little restaurant and wanted to try the mixed fried fish, which we always enjoy at various places. This one was really good in flavor, and the portion size was just right. We will definitely come back to have a more extensive meal here."

"Restaurant” Sol Y Mar “ Estepona This restaurant runs by a dedicated professional Romanian chef she used to run a fantastic successful restaurant in Romania and moved now to Estepona - Andalucía in spain. Small cosy restaurant with very friendly staff and food is delicious and surprisingly affordable and inexpensive. They have often lunch meal offers with starter , main course and dessert around 15€ euros . Great for a family with children and for a large group of friends. It’s only short walk from the beautiful beach of the Estepona . Strongly recommend #doctorfoodielondon , Nick Restaurant Review: Sol Y Mar Estepona Nestled in the charming town of Estepona, Sol Y Mar is a delightful restaurant run by a dedicated Romanian chef . Having previously owned a highly successful restaurant in Romania, she has brought her culinary talents to Andalucía, and it shows. The restaurant boasts a cozy atmosphere, complemented by friendly staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you step in. The food is not only delicious but also surprisingly affordable. Their lunch meal offers, which include a starter, main course, and dessert for around €15, make it an excellent choice for families and groups of friends. Additionally, Sol Y Mar is just a short walk from the beautiful Estepona beach, making it a perfect spot to refuel after a day in the sun. I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Estepona. #doctorfoodielondon Nick"

"The brick laid door and windows with a flagstone wall inlay is a charming cherry on the pie to this restaurant’s delicious menu. I’d recommend getting the grilled salmon con ensalada to enjoy two massive fillets. My four year old nephew also enjoyed the spaghetti bolognese :)"
