The menu at La Terraza Mesón is a true homage to the sea and Spanish culinary tradition.

A good restaurant with really great food! We were in the late evening and the restaurant was mainly empty. The food came fast and was served well. The octopus in 3 textures was delicious. Fresh dorada was good as well but rice with lobster had an unusual flavor pairing that didn't feel right. The lobster tasted fresh. The fish was cleaned by the waiter in front of you and the lobster was split into parts right before serving, which was a nice touch. The desserts were all great, especially the cheesecake and chocolate cake. The wines were good. The staff was friendly and polite and spoke English. The bill for 8 ppl with starters, mains, dessert, wine, cava, and water was 300€.

I really have to write to say what a fabulous experience we had here. The newest restaurant in Almuñecar furnished to create a relaxing atmosphere for a memorable time with friends. The chef is truly talented, the staff friendly and attentive, the food so tasty, great wine list and a T-Bone which was one of the finest I've eaten around the globe (seasoned and cooked to perfection and enjoyed especially with the Carmelo Rodero Crianza!!)! I highly recommend a visit

We passed by at a kind of late afternoon time, the restaurant was practically empty but we were really welcome, we ordered 3 half portions, reposted, adobo and papas a lo pobre that came with an egg, even if they were half portion they were big enough and tasty. Also with our drinks they offered the traditional tapa, which was a bocadillo de calamares con alioli. Service was nice and attentive.

We got an recommendation for this restaurant, so we went there. They have two sections to sit by. Nice and polite waiters and the food is marvelous, we went there several times times during our stay in Almunecar. Be aware the portions, they are quite large, so it’s nice to share some of them. Recommend to share salad as well as cakes.

Reasonable prices. Very good food, black tagliatelle made my husband think he went to heaven. Nice personell, nice place to sit. We would like to come back.

Just for the location and the terrace alone, it's worth it. The staff is very friendly. The food is more than original and tasty. I will definitely return there during my next vacations.

We liked this place a lot, good selection of food, friendly service. Great salads and seafood dishes
