We tried it out because we saw the vegetarian paella on the menu which is actually decent. The salad was nothing special though, just iceberg lettuce, corn, tomato and chopped green olives, with olive oil and vinegar on the side. Service was a bit off, the garçon was very eager at first for us to eat there, and made a big deal about the kitchen closing at 10:30PM but when we sat down, the smiles seemed to disappear and the service became mediocre. I would have given it 2 stars, if it wasn't for the vegetarian paella they make. For sure there are much better places to eat in Marbella than this place.

This dining place do not room many customers and the four waitresses had full control; politely making sure everything was ok, giving good recommendations and information, & easy to reach when in need. They even noticed one of our people was not present during ordering of desserts, and returned to ask whether she wanted something after returned from the restroom. Menu is based on today's catch; hence, may vary. All dishes are fish and seafood, but one choice is meat, and they do offer a kids choice (chicken nuggets and pommes frittes) not mentioned in the menue. We also had live entertainment by a female singer, and it's the first time I can say I experienced such live entertainment relaxing/suitable/welcommed! She had a range of cover-ballads, the volume of sound was comfortable and her voice was really sweet and soft/comfortable. This place is really recommendable - the perfect choice for a romantic dinner

We got: Pulpo en salpicon - More like a salad, with diced tomatoes and onions, and we only found like 2 pieces of octopus in the entire dish. Although ignoring the fact that we signed up for octopus, I liked the flavors and found it quite refreshing. Sardines - Good, fairly standard. Bacalao (cod) al pil pil - This came highly recommended by the friendly local at the neighboring table. It's a pretty large dish, coming with two sizeable pieces of cod. I wasn't a huge fan of the dish, but not because of the execution, but because it's not to my palette. But I could find no fault with the dish - this was perhaps one of the most tender cods I've ever had and served as an excellent vessel for the pil pil sauce. Pil pil sauce turned out to be more of a creamier (and salty) white sauce, and I don't tend to like those sauces - but if you do, this may be your jam. All in all, nothing we had that I found astounding but not a bad meal. Prices did seem higher than in other cities (€3 for an oyster) but not sure if that's Malaga or this restaurant. Note: they offer free profiteroles at the end, though you may have to ask for them if they don't give them to you.

Perfectly located on the main strip of La Cala village, Tikus is easy to find although parking is tricky in season. You can dine inside or on the ample terrace and both are perfectly appointed.

My visit with my family we shared a few platters and a couple of excellent main courses - supported with some good wine served by the glass. Service was very good even though the restaurant was very busy. The meal cost approx. 70€ for four including the gratuity. Certainly worth the visit and I will definitely visit again!
