It is always pleasant to eat down by the beach so I decided to try a (late) lunchtime meal at Chiringuito Mauri. They do paellas, sardines and legs of pork on an open fire but I went for some brochettes with salad, partly for a change but more importantly because I was rather too late for ‘lunch’ and it was …
Friday Night Fever at Restaurant First, July 19th 2013
The next Friday Night Fever at Restaurant First, near the Marinas de Nerja Hotel, is on July 19th 2013 and the menu for the event is as follows:
Mini tapas run 2
Chispa’s (calle Bolivia), La Puntilla (calle Bolivia) and Rincón del Sabor (calle Ruperto Anduez), a veritable ‘golden triangle’ of tapas bars in the old part of town and always worth a visit.
Chique Lounge closed
The Chique Lounge in calle Chaparil has closed and the premises are up for sale or rent once more.
La Gran Evasión
The former Barbados bar in calle Fray Junipero Serra has now become La Gran Evasión, a pizza and cocktails establishment.
Mini tapas run
One of the advantages of having visitors is that it forces you to make time for a few more tapas, not that it actually takes much persuasion at all! The first mini tapas run involved La Bodeguilla (calle Antonio Millón), Sevillano (calle Chaparil) and El Tapeito (calle Chaparil), very little walking involved.
Meal at Cafeteria Jamaica
Cafeteria Jamaica on avenida Mediterraneo, Nerja, opposite the RIU Monica Hotel, is, and always has been, a popular place for breakfasts, snacks and meals. It is popular with both residents and visitors to the town.
Oasis de Marrakesh
Restaurant Aguamarina, on the left of Made in Itali in calle Mérida, Nerja, didn’t last very long and has closed. To the right of Made in Itali, the Fish House has gone and the Oasis de Marrakesh has opened in its place.
Tapas at Cafeteria Nerja
Cafeteria Nerja is at the bottom end of calle San Miguel, Nerja, and as well as being an excellent breakfast cafe, serves some good tapas. I had a ‘pinchit0’ (meat on a stick) served with bread and olives. Beer and a tapa, €1.30.
Tapas at Chiringuito Mauri
Chiringuito Mauri is at the western end of El Playazo beach in Nerja and is open all year round. It is a friendly place with quite a spacious interior and a large garden area with tables and, when necessary, suitable shade. Very nice place to relax.
