Some comments on Tripadvisor :

Great food. Everything was delicious Have been to all the restaurants in Village this is the best Staff amazing. Highly recommend. Was there on Sunday had a party of 7 with our friends from Miami xx

Date of visit: June 2023

Fully deserving of 5 stars from us. We’re meat lovers so we had the ribeye, the ribs & tenderloin with 3 starters to share between 3 of us. Nothing bad to say.

Really pleasant experience and we shared a glass of wine with Mr B himself later. Pleasure to meet you and see you when we’re a back in August. Thanks for the bottle, it was delicious.

Rather than having starters and main courses on the menu, they divide the dishes in “from the sea”, “from the fire” and “from the land”, so that dishes can be shared.

This beautifully designed restaurant on the main square in Benahavis village serves Mediterranean food with an international twist.

The interior is elegant and combines modern and Andalusian features and the glass fronted wine cellar is definitely a show stopper.

If you are a bit of a carnivore, try the dry aged meat which is matured for 45 days.

Attention to detail is second to none! Welcomed on arrival with attentive yet not intrusive service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and kept warm by an amazing log burner. The food was beautifully presented and great value, with a good selection of wines displayed in…More

Loved it start to finish. Warm welcome, log fire, cosy setting and high-end fittings throughout. Impeccable service very well balanced. A wider variety of main courses is a must even acknowledging it’s low season. Our food was prepared to the highest standard and was flipping…More

Restaurante El Guarda 1926

El Guarda 1926, Benahavis

This restaurant is situated on the main square in Benahavis occupying nearly the whole eastern side of it and offering a large terrace in the middle of the square.

The menu is typically Spanish with a great variety of meat,  paella and daily fresh fish.

I can definitely recommend the chateaubriand for two which is cooked by your table so if you like it well done and your friend likes it medium, no problem.

Situated at the end of the Avda. Andalucia, next to David Marshalls gallery, this is a cozy yet spacious place for lunch or dinner. The interior has a fireplace for colder nights and on the first floor is a large terrace with spectacular views when evenings are getting warmer.

Run by Jorge, a Brazilian entrepreneur with a passion for food and wine, the staff always makes you feel very welcome.

I can definitely recommend the burger, which is minced at the moment, but you can’t really go wrong with your order.

Jorge is also a huge fan of Spanish wines and sells some of the best value for money wines on the Coast. You might not recognize the brands, as they come from small vineyards, but I can assure that they will all please your palate.
