Marbella — Where We Ate & Drank
We've tried 8 restaurants and bars in Marbella across two spring trips—from Ta-Kumi's Japanese-Andalusian plates to Chambao's chiringuito lunches and Puente Romano's bougainvillea-lined village.
Marbella across two spring trips meant chiringuito lunches at Chambao, Ta-Kumi's Japanese-Andalusian counter, and the Puente Romano's bougainvillea village as our base. The old town's orange-tree plaza out-charms the marina flash, and we found the eating scene splits neatly between beachfront ease and polished hotel dining.
March to May and October to December dodge both the crowds and the scorch. Everything here is a place we actually visited—8 restaurants and bars that made the trip worth repeating.
