Restaurante Bakus

Food is very good and extremely filling, we could have easily gone with out starters. The male servers were very friendly but the lady at front of house has an air of arrogance about her which is unexplainable. Tried to make a reservation but told booked out for many days ahead, turned up on the night only to be seated. Witnessed others coming in to try make reservations for following days and immediately being told they were booked up. Either they are short staffed and trying to keep down the number of diners or else they base their decision on your appearance, what ever it was; it created a strange atmosphere. Would I return? Yes based on the quality of the food, but I wouldn’t rush when compared to the amount of extremely welcoming restaurants in Nerja.

Lovely meal and great service. Fillet steak and the pork cheeks were excellent!

Simply exceptional! The Service is 100/100; the ambiance of the restaurant is perfect, and most importantly, the food is possibly the nicest food we have ever experienced. My wife had a starter of scallops and a main of Turbot, both of which she loved. I had a starter of chicken, walnut and pear salad and main of fillet steak in teriyaki and black mushroom sauce. Both were stunning in taste and presentation. This is fine dining but at everyday prices. Amazing value for money. We cannot recommend this place enough.

Excellent food and service. Great sea views outside. Scallops were very nice. Sea bass & cod delicious. The caramelised fennel was divine. Vegetables cooked too hard for our liking, very crunchy. But maybe that’s personal preference? Brownie v nice, especially the praline ice cream. Complimentary cava at the end was a lovely touch.

Lighting was austere. Service was sporadic but the male staff were friendly. Food was wonderful. Beef tetaki was amazing. We had an issue with flies/ bugs/ insects whatever you want to call them and unfortunately they staff didn't seem to care. Being from the UK , having to kill 23 bugs on my table during dinner, is an issue. Especially when no other tables seemed to be experiencing the same level of issues. Anyway, despite raising the issue 3 times, no resolution was sought and no one seemed to care.

Absolutely amazing experience all around. Went for my birthday dinner and the staff were absolutely fantastic. There were no seats left outside when reserving but they managed to get us one, we got a free aparatif of a delicious fish cake. The actual dinner was just fantastic. I got the duck and it was just an amazing mix of savoury from the duck with a sweeter sauce and sweet potato mash alongside. Drinks were cheep with a lot of varieties of wine to choose from. For dessert as well they came out with an icecream with a candle in it to celebrate. All the staff were just so lovely and really did their best to make it as fantastic of a night as possible. Not to mention the beautiful scenery and great opportunities for people watching. Could not recommend it more.

Amazing…top quality fantastically cooked food .. the highest level of professional service but sooo friendly and welcoming… and one of the best rose wines we have ever tasted .. really missing this wonderful place already thank you so much Sally and Paul from England

We had the cod and the salmon and they didn’t disappoint. Super fresh ingredients and very tasty. Generous portions as well.

Excellent Menu. Friendly staff. Special Gracias to Carmen for very warm hospitality and attention. The Pork Cheek and Rack of Lamb were Muy Delicioso. Also Scallops with Fennel were Fantastico. Will Return.

We arrived early, 18:50, and were nearly turned away by the waiter saying they open at 19:00. The head waiter intervened and seated us inside, at our request. We ordered glasses of house red and rose wine (E2.50) which was pleasant. The tapa that came next, some kind of cold beef with pine nuts or something was outstanding, but the waitress could not put a name to it, so neither we nor you can order it again. We shared a rustic salad, which was excellent for about E8. Bread was an extra E1.1 each, a delicious but small crusty roll. For mains, my wife tried the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, excellent at about E18. I had the pork belly with rice noodles which was tough, about E16. We may or may not have been offered cava after the meal, but I couldn't understand the waiter (my Spanish is minimal) and asked for the bill. Overall, a good meal, but not a good value.

We spent 7 days in Nerja last week and Bakus was literally on our door step. It was such a great find and I could not recommend it more. Myself,my husband and three friends ate here twice. We all absolutely loved it. I started with the roast duck and grapefruit salad which was such a great combination. For my main I had loin of cod with Thai yellow curry and baby potatoes. This was by far the surprise of the night. It was seriously out of this world. The quality of the fish was perfect as was the overall taste of the dish. They really haven't missed a beat with it. It was so good I had to have it the second time around too. I skipped desert first time around because I was stuffed but for desert the second time I had the meringue with ice cream. This was good but there was a floral taste to it that I just couldn't pin point. Didn't stop me finishing though. From trying pieces of everyone else's meals it seems like everything is superb and of great high quality. This applies to the drinks too. We asked for a shot of sambuca and what came back was mesmerising. There was enough for the five of us in one but the addition of the coffee beans and the fire was so good and very smooth to drink. We had a couple of different white wines and they were all good as was the cava. Really if you get a chance to visit there please do try. Well worth it and the price level will shock you for what you are getting and I mean shock in a good way.
