What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Despensa del Aceite is highly praised for its authentic Spanish cuisine and the quality of its ingredients, particularly its cured meats and cheeses. Diners love the warm ambiance, especially when dining outdoors under orange trees, and frequently commend the friendly and professional service. However, some guests have experienced slow or inattentive service, particularly if they are not Spanish, which can detract from the otherwise positive dining experience.
"Authentic Spanish food. Brilliant service and great price. Would go back"

"My girlfriend and I got there late for lunch and they still accommodated us. All staff is super friendly and 90% of clients are locals. The food they serve is excellent and you can tell they know the product. I'm celiac and they gave me lots of gluten free options right away. We've been two times and definitely coming back before leaving Fuengirola."

The 7 Best Restaurants in Fuengirola
In this great place, as the name suggests, one of the main protagonists is olive oil. A distinctive feature of this place is that when you visit, one of the first things they place on your table is a good plate of olive oil and bread.
