Restaurante Nintai

Wonderful omakase experience! The fish was fresh and well prepared. Excellent service and very thoughtful menu. I love that they ‘kept time’ and didn’t prolong the dinner with unnecessary waiting between courses. Expensive yes, but for 20+ courses I feel it was very much worth it.

My wife and I had a wonderful lunch here last week. The sushi is omakase style so you are served what the chef recommends that day. We appreciated that it was both very traditional but also innovative, with a young, attentive and very pleasant staff. The selection and knowledge of sakes and Japanese teas was also impressive. We would surely go back next time in Marbella.

Last night, we had dinner at Nintai, and it’s definitely the best restaurant in Marbella. The cuisine, atmosphere, and service were outstanding! The evening felt like a true event. The dishes were incredibly delicious and beautifully presented, perfectly paired with sake. We love Japanese cuisine and have tried various omakase spots, but this one is definitely the best.

Interesting place an experience, you don't get to choose from a menu but rather what the chef has chosen. I would certainly recommend it, it is expensive but well worth it. The food, all vegetarian, a lot of fish well presented and cooked/prepared in front of you. Three hours well spent.

Nintai is an unparalleled dining experience that transforms food into art. Each dish is a masterful composition of flavors, with unique combinations and textures that surprise and delight the palate. Even as someone hesitant about eel, I found myself captivated by its preparation and presentation—testament to the chef’s extraordinary skill. The storytelling accompanying each course added depth and intimacy to the meal, with both the chef and servers passionately explaining the inspiration behind every plate. Watching the dishes being crafted in real time elevated the experience, making it as much a feast for the eyes as for the taste buds. From start to finish, the precision, creativity, and execution were impeccable. Desserts, equally innovative, provided a perfect conclusion to this immersive journey. Nintai is a destination for those who seek not just a meal, but a gastronomic revelation.

With undoubtly Japanese character, this one-seating-a-night place will not leave you emotionless. The only bad thing about their menu is that you’ll end up wanting to come back even before you leave. Wine selection is well aligned for the food they serve and while we didn’t try a lot of them, there’s a wide selection of sakes. For what you're served and comparing to some other places in Marbella, it’s also a good bang-for-buck. Just go, enjoy the ride and thank me later.🤝

Amazing Michelin star omakase experience in Marbella. Creative, tasty dishes that will remain present in my memory — but standouts are the seared wagyu + the otoro and unagi temakis. Highly recommended if you want to treat yourself to a special meal.

Just amazing. We went here with friends who have worked in Michelin star restaurants, and they said this was one of the best meals in their life. Spanish chefs cook pure Japanese style, young and full of enthusiasm. Only 12 lucky people at the counter each night, or perhaps less. We prefer the counter to the private room, because you can interact with the chef, sommelier and other guests during the meal. The evening was an explosion of savors, umami, and surprises, the use of hot coals to sear some of the dishes and crisped seaweed over the hot coal fire were amazing. Nintai is probably on the way to getting a 2nd Michelin star so book quick before the prices go up! This neighborhood is amazing and full of independant, new, young Michelin recommended restaurants. If you are a foodie we highly recommend booking a week and staying here in downtown Marbella, right next to the beach, for your meal at Nintai! This is destination cooking worth a flight to Malaga to come here for lunch or dinner. We stayed nearby in a a gorgeous apartment with very comfortable beds and quiet sleep, it was great to walk home there after our meal at Nintai.
