Arco Tapas Bar is a very cozy and charming tapas restaurant located in the Old Town historical…read morecenter of Marbella, Spain. The owner, Anita, was so friendly and invited us to sit wherever we preferred. My husband, sister and I chose a table in the back room next to the fireplace since it was a chilly night in January. We were dehydrated from drinking wine all day during our wine tour in Ronda so we immediately ordered several bottles of water and soda to accompany our wine. I was dreading the bill after ordering so many beverages, but prices were very reasonable and this was one of our cheapest meals in Marbella! The menu at Arco Tapas Bar consists of a variety of hot and cold tapas and small plates. The Iberian ham, fresh buffalo mozzarella, sliders, and goat cheese salad were some of our favorite dishes. We later found out that Anita's husband is the chef. Anita's husband is from Italy so you will notice some Italian influences on the menu. This was the perfect spot to relax with friends and enjoy some great wine and tapas. Would highly recommend this spot. Unfortunately, they are not open for lunch or we would have returned the next day!

I have never felt more local or welcome in a restaurant while on a trip as I did here. All four in our group agreed. Among the many things we tried were garlic prawn croquettes, grilled octopus with potatoes, salmorejo (gazpacho), prawns in garlic oil, cured pork loin and Spanish cured ham. Every single item was done to perfection. I highly highly recommend locals and tourists to try this restaurant/bar. Warning, it is very small and crowded. But it is totally worth it.
