El Cordobes - Marbella

Fantastic. It looks like a little hole in the wall. Not fancy at all but it has amazing food. There were three of us and we shared the Russian Salad (ok), anchovies in vinegar (delicious), clams in garlic (delicious) and grilled calamari (outstanding). The service was fine. Waiter's broken English was way better than our Spanish and he managed to explain dishes to us. It is not fancy by any stress. Plastic tables. They put paper on it for your table cloth. But we all enjoyed the meal and do plan on coming back before we leave.

You would pass it by and not give it a second glance with plastic chairs and tables, just outside the old town 's ancient walls but is worth a visit. It is mainly fish both fresh and fried. Plenty of staff and prompt service while not being overly friendly. This restaurant offers excellent value for money. All the fish is on display so you have a good idea it is fresh. Being able to speak a little Spanish helps with the atmosphere. Good mixture of locals and some lost tourists:

I recommend to everyone best dinner Marabella, fresh delicious and wholeheartedly. And sardines made on a skewer are the very best

Exquisito el trato, Buenos camareros rápidos y excelente servicio. Raciones grandes y a buen precio, buen vino y buenas cervezas. Yo como allí a menudo, lo recomiendo siempre.

Muy buen género. Siempre pasamos por allí cuando vamos Marbella.
