Restaurante La Escollera

Food delicious. You don’t have to choose fried dishes to enjoy what this restaurant has to offer. The natural, steamed or raw are amazing. The razor clan 1/2 racion was not enough so we had to order a second full one :). It’s busy & understandably so. So don’t expect fawning from the staff.

Lovely lunchtime meal. Wasn't too busy as January so great service. Great selection of fish.

17/09/24 We arrived around 19:45 and got a drink at the bar. Around 19:55 a queue started to form for the restaurant which opens at 8pm. The restaurant then filled up pretty quickly. Food was fantastic, had the clams and prawns with chips. Very popular restaurant and we can see why.

One of the best fish restaurants in Estepona. Avoid the tourist traps and come here. Make sure you check their opening hours before you show up since they are closed a couple of days a week. They don’t take any reservations so I recommend showing up 15-30 minutes before they open.

Excellent sea food and wine selection. Great atmosphere with a buzz of locals who love socialising. Tried lots of fish we’ve never tried before and never been disappointed. The muscles and turbot were insane !!

If you have time for the queue, you will get the best food in the town

By far the best meal we had in Andalusia. Fresh seafood cooked to perfection and fair prices. No booking and long queue, but totally worth it!

La Escollera offers an excellent experience with delicious seafood dishes. The food is exceptionally good, and the service is quick and efficient. Highly recommended for seafood lovers.

Really, these people have sacrificed decor for no-frills eating. But service was great with bountiful AND spectacular seafood alongside the beach and Estepona's Port on the other. No Paella here. La Escollera is strictly seafood from what I saw. Because of Escollera's popularity with tourists AND locals alike, it gets busy so have a few things in mind: (1) give your name+last name to the host inside (2) if you can grab a high-top outside, go for it and get a Starter bite while you wait, (3) someone will yell out your last name, then (4) you're in. Attention from all the servers is definitely here and each offered individual tid-bit on what we ordered. Dozen oysters (or "12 pieces") were meaty and juicy with the right amount of oyster liquor. What's more, I know the oysters hubs and I have been getting on the East Coast in the States are good- but these here in Spain's Southern Coast are mind-blowing. Horseradish and mignonette? They're obsolete in these parts. You will get Tabasco as an alternate (for hubs) and some individually-packaged red wine. It did just fine. Prawns were good but the Sardines were excellent with a slightly crunchy-garlicky exterior. The oysters took it a bit over from what we've experienced during our stay. But come to think of it, comparing the quality and straight-from-the-sea catch to the East Coast, they were worth the €54. Skip the juicy-flavored sangria and go for a red or white instead. In essence, it's all about the seafood here.

Best seafood I've ever had!! We arrived mid afternoon and the place was crowded. We put our name on the list but ended up just getting a bar table outside (which has service anyway). We ordered a lot of small plates and everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. While we usually prefer sautéed seafood, the fried squid was exceptional. Don't miss out on this spot! Right by the water, beautiful view.

Great food and fast friendly service. The location wasn't the most attractive but the food and service certainly made up for it. Very flavorful octopus salad and we got the grilled whole squid that was off menu but awesome. Places filled up pretty quickly after opening so go early to get a seat! Definitely recommend

We had a great local experience at this restaraunt. Loved the food and the buzz. Packed with locals ! Delicious and fun ! Highly recommend !
