Restaurante la Farola

We didn't have a reservation which I recommend to others! A table was arranged for us because the staff brought a table and chairs from the warehouse and soon the table setting was ready great! The service and the customer service of the staff was really wonderful from start to finish. Regardless of who served us. The food was good and the portion was big! Finally, the house offered a small drink . The place where the restaurant is located is wonderful and peaceful where it is nice to enjoy dinner. (tiramisu was great )

Wow, what a fantastic place. Set in a pretty square/courtyard, this place is fantastic. Fantastic service, fantastic food and lovely setting. Be warned though, the portions are BIG. We are both big eaters but came away full to the brim! The beef kebab was massive and perfectly cooked and tender. So much so that I popped into the kitchen to compliment the chef. One, if not THE best Kebab/beef I have eaten. Have already rebooked for next week.

I expected a lot of this restaurant. To my syrprise, My expectation were even superceded. The service is more than just nice, they are upmost welcoming, making you feel home. They gladly help you with your selection. We also had a lovely chat about Andalusia as well as Czech Republic. The food is very delicious with a clear focus on quality. The curated ham is outstanding. We also tried the fish páté, very tasty. You must also order the Gambas Pil Pil and can't miss with the onion soup either. The grilled sea bream is butterflied and then seated. It's a delicious fish choice. Your mind should be focused on the red meat dishes though. Specifically, try the oxtail. It's mindblowing and certainly not a cut you get everywhere. La Farola is the GOAT of Fuengirola. Oh, and you'd better make a reservation. We only got lucky with the late lunch.

My all time favourite since the eighties when the family had a tiny bar with six tables. That they have grown so much is due to the fact that they know what they are doing. Situation is great, in a square without any traffic. The food is traditional, well prepared, fresh and served with care. This is a fabulous family restaurant.

It has been our second visit in 3 years and it is still as good as before. The portions are HUGE! Very fresh, honest good local cuisine. Reasonably priced. The square is a hidden gem, very pretty and very safe for children to play. The inside of the restaurant is very smart, a contrast from the casual look from the outside. An excellent place for a family meal.

On recommendation from friends we tried La Farola and the recommendation was really appreciated. The food and service were excellent in this wonderful restaurant that would only be known to locals and those who have been told about it as we were. If you want somewhere that is away from the typical tourist fare serving good food in generous quantities La Farola is worth a try. We didn't book but we were welcomed inside and served by really friendly and accommodating staff. Food superb and we will definately return to try more on the menu. A hidden gem.
