Restaurante Oliva

Excellent restaurant and impeccable service. We both chose the 9 course set menu with the additional wine pairing. The food was well carefully presented and the ingredients and array of tastes made the evening a creative experience with great conversation with our servers. The wine pairing started with champagne and had 5 paired local regional Spanish white wines with various courses. The portions were perfectly sized so you never felt too full but very satisfied. Highly recommend this elegant Michelin rated restaurant overlooking Plaza de España in Nerja.

Went with spouse for the the first time last night. Had 6 course tasting menu. Excellent choice! We were happy to get a table outside in their tastefully done cordoned-off section. From the brief glimpse I got the inside seating looked chic too. Service was very good too, timely courteous and knowledgeable. The food: there’s a reason this place is on the Michelin guide judging by the tasting menu. The starters/amouse bouche (sp?) were subtly flavored: emulsions of olives, raw cheese from the north encased jn white chocolate, sheep’s butter with black olive empanade, mussel escabeche with kimchi+beer mayo. An escabeche course of fish similar to mackerel, a sea bass course with jamon emulsion and mint foam, a meat course. But the standout was their langostino wrapped in thin rice noodles served in foie gras sauce: heavenly! Finally a dessert of coconut ice cream and mango pancetta. Oh and the wine pairings for additional €35: fantastic add-on. The mostly white wines primarily ganache and from around Malaga and the single red and the apple cider finale are were so good we had to take pics of their bottles to order later on. Our bill for two was €202. A well-spent dining experience for a special date night. Ps: they have a la carte menu too ranging between €18-20 for starters and €25-33 for mains.

Best restaurant in Nerja by a mile! I had two wonderful lunches there once trying the tasting menu (go with this) and normal menu (also food but not the best value) my server I think was from S Africa or Oz was awesome ! Super knowledgeable and kind, the food was wonderful each bite bursting with flavor and creativity. Hats off to the chef for using their skills with all ingredients available to them. The world needs more restaurants like this one! If you’re within at least an hour drive you must come here! Don’t be scared by it being city center (parking wise) there is an under ground park place as it’s next to a museum! 7 stars

We had lunch here and it was 11/10! The steak with foie gras and truffle was delicious, and the coulant de turrón dessert was the perfect finish. Great food, atmosphere and professional staff - totally worth it! 🍷

Great recommendation by our local Spanish friend. We really enjoyed our lunch here. They did clever amuse-bouche bites. Make sure you get their crunch shrimp starter! The 2 seafood dishes (both fish) were the single 2 best prepared filets I’ve had in a very long time. We were most pleased with this formal lunch. Oh - and the olive butter is to die for.

Very lovley staff and food here but I was a bit shocked when they dint have chips because that would be the number 1 side . Very good staff . Very nice and peaceful . Steak is always good but a tad bit flavour less sometimes over all very nice

Amazing food, top tier innovation. Service was also spectacular. Would always recommend to eat here when in Nerja❤️

A beautiful fine dining experience, food had real flavor, with a range of taste pallets between courses. Highly Recommended
