Bar Altamirano

Altamirano Restaurant in Marbella truly exceeded our expectations. We tried several dishes, each bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. From fresh seafood to traditional Andalusian flavors, every bite was a delight. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The charming atmosphere and central location add to its appeal. It’s no surprise this place is so highly rated — we absolutely recommend Altamirano as one of the best dining spots in Marbella. A must-visit for anyone seeking authentic cuisine and top-tier service.

An absolute gem in the heart of Marbella’s old town. Hugely popular with locals (always a good sign), it serves the freshest of fish and seafood. The presentation is simple and unfussy—just quality ingredients cooked well. It was buzzing with energy, full of regulars and us soaking up the atmosphere. A must-visit if you’re in Marbella and love seafood done right. Also offered excellent value for money.

It’s a beautiful spot with a great atmosphere, it gets very busy on an evening and often lots of people waiting for seats- never a problem though. We got there around half 7 and no problem sitting down. Personal favourite !

One of my favourite restaurants for fresh fish in Marbella, Altamirano, has been in business for forty years. The fish is sourced from the fishing port of La Bajadilla. Situated in Plaza Altamirano, one of the most charming plazas in Marbella's old town, it can get quite busy in the summer, especially on the terrace. It's wise to make a reservation or arrive early. The opening time for dinner is seven in the evening. The menu features traditional Malaga dishes, such as fried fish or "pescaíto." While the prices may be slightly higher (between 20 to 30 Euros) than those at similar establishments, they are reasonable given the high quality of the food. The gambas al pilpil were delicious, and the swordfish was perfectly cooked, served with an olive oil and garlic sauce. The service is both efficient and warm, making it a great spot for fresh fish in a beautiful setting.

Food was great ,but the place was packed & our dishes took a very long time to come ,owner should higher chefs to cook .

This food was delicious. Not sure if they speak English but we made it work. The calamari and fired prawns 🤩

Great location in a charming square of old Marbella. The place is an institution providing traditional Andalusian and marbellan cuisine. Prices are a bit inflated due to their prestige and history, and service is polite and efficient but a bit slow due to the high demand. All in on all a good experience just short of being amazing!

My favourite local seafood restaurant. Return here every holiday more than once.
