Eating out along the Costa del Sol is characterised by exquisite locally sourced ingredients and al fresco dining under a warm afternoon sun or a milder evening sky. Spain is known worldwide for its delicious culinary offerings such as paella and gazpacho, and there is certainly not a shortage in supply in excellent restaurants and chiringuitos in the region.
At Costa Vacations, we are proud to not only offer a variety of resorts to suit many needs and budgets, but also a selection of excellent restaurants within easy reach of your chosen location.
Le Papillon Restaurant & Beach Club enjoys a prime location and is a highly recommended spot for tourists and locals alike. Situated on the stunning beachfront in Marbesa, the restaurant is often bathed in natural sunlight and offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean, an excellent choice of locally sourced fresh fish, succulent meats and an array of wines and expertly shaken cocktails – Perfect for a casual spot of lunch in the sun or a romantic evening for two! Le Papillon also hosts a variety of special evenings featuring live music and entertainment.
Roberto’s is conveniently located in Club Playa Real, our resort set within the beautiful peaceful neighbourhood of Marbesa. Newly styled and refurbished, the restaurant offers an old world charm, with beige columns and marble flooring throughout. Roberto’s specialises in Italian cuisine with a Spanish edge, offering a variety of home-cooked pizza and pasta dishes using the freshest local ingredients. Spanish classics like a Gambas Pil-Pil and sliced Avocado with Prawns can be enjoyed as starters, followed by a freshly baked pizza with your choice of toppings or maybe a Wild Mushroom Risotto, Swordfish Steak or Fillet of Beef with a side of pepper, blue cheese or mushroom sauce. For desert, don’t miss out on the Crepes al Gran Marnier, Profiteroles with Chocolate Sauce or the classic Italian, home-made Tiramisu!
Roberto’s is at the tip of your fingers if you stay in one of our Marbesa resorts and is open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! The restaurant hosts entertainment on various evenings, a Buffet night on a weekly basis and also offers a take away service so that you can enjoy the food in the comfort of your apartment.
The Matchroom Country Club is tucked into the beautiful valley of Mijas, a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of Fuengirola and other popular neighbouring coastal towns. The clubhouse at Matchroom can be enjoyed by members and guests alike and is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Matchroom clubhouse prides itself in offering an array of both local and international dishes at affordable prices. Breakfast include fried and scrambled egg dishes, omelettes, panini’s, baguettes or freshly baked goods with butter and jams. For light lunches after a round of golf we recommend a traditional Andalusian chilled Gazpacho or a Caeser Salad and for dinner, choose from a variety of pastas or dishes ranging from Chicken Curry, to Grilled Sole and Rack of Lamb with saffron and thyme. The Clubhouse enjoys beautiful views over the resort and surrounding countryside and offers both inside and outside seating.
