This was one of our favorite meals on our 10-day Spanish and Portuguese road trips!…read more We had the following: - FRIED MARINATED SEA BASS, LETTUCE, PICO DE GALLO AND ADOBO MAYONNAISE - FRIED SQUID SANDWICH W. ALIOLI AND SPICY SAUCE - RAF TOMATO W. CANNED TUNA BELLY AND ONION - GRILLED ARTICHOKES W. SHERRY WINE REDUCTION, EGG YOLK AND PORK JOWL Everything was absolutely delicious - our favorite was the marinated sea bass. It came with lettuce leaves perfect for making a taco. The tomato salad was also delicious and I loved the tuna in it - the only non-perfect part of the meal was that there was a sticker on one of the tomatoes - ha! (And also they forgot one of our dishes and it came out at the very end after we had to remind them but no biggie). The service was also very nice - I was trying to practice my spanish and our server was very patient and kind. Loved this restaurant so much!

Our guide told us Ronda has Michelin starred and rated restaurants and Google said this place was…read moreMichelin recommended with reasonable prices so I stopped for a bite. Everything was well prepared and Pedro provided excellent service with a smile. He also helped me with selections. Liked that they have indoor/outdoor seating with a nice ambiance. Nice days it's hard to get seated outside, but I had no problems getting seated inside.

It was a pretty long road trip through southern Spain, obviously a beautiful experience, but we…read morewere looking forward to stopping in Ronda for some local cuisine. After looking up guides and online searches, Tropicana seemed to be the place to go. Three of us went in with no expectations, and three of us went out thoroughly impressed! It was funny, the chef/owner waited on us, us being ignorant to the fact. We asked him what he'd recommend to which enthusiastically responded to get the ox tail. When we said we weren't feeling it, he trailed off in a stiff Spanish that our table mate translated as sadness for rejecting his signature dish. Well, I'm not usually guilted into things, but this did make me pause, if he's this passionate about his ox tail dish, why not give it a try. Well, we did and hot dang if it wasn't actually delicious. We apologized out of admiration which made him really excited. Funny, this one feels a lot more food bloggy of a post, but hey, it tells a fun story of the personality and food of this place. If you're looking for a delicious place in an iconic Iberian destination, stop in at Tropicana. Be sure to ask the chef for the ox tail. It'll make his day!

This was such a fun experience !…read more We lucked up on this and FINALLY had the Tapas experience we were looking for! When I tell you we ATE!!!!! Omgeeeeeee The staff were so accommodating and helpful. They even put up with our Spanish practice lol. Really cool people. The location is small and when the evening comes, packed! There is a line. So if you can come earlier consider doing that! The cost was great so it allowed us to try a bit of everything! Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - Disliked - The tables are pretty small for the size of the plates and the tapas style ordering. I get it though, because the actual restaurant is small. It's definitely not a deal breaker but be prepared to not order too much at one time, but have to do so gradually.

Albacara was one of the highlights of our visit to Ronda. The restaurant is beautifully situated at…read moreHotel Montelirio, with an extraordinary view overlooking the Tajo gorge and the iconic Puente Nuevo. The setting alone is spectacular, particularly if you are fortunate enough to dine on the terrace, but what makes Albacara truly special is that the food and service live up to the location. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. The staff was professional, attentive, friendly, and welcoming without ever being intrusive. There was a genuine sense of hospitality throughout the meal, and the attention to detail made the entire experience feel special. The food was equally good. The dishes were beautifully presented, well prepared, and full of flavor. The menu offers a nice balance of traditional Andalusian influences and more contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, with quality ingredients and careful preparation. Everything we had was enjoyable, and the meal felt like a true dining experience rather than simply having lunch or dinner at a restaurant. warning ‼: Do not try the bread. You won't be able to stop eating it. And then there is the view. It is difficult to overstate how beautiful the setting is. Sitting above the Tajo gorge with the Puente Nuevo directly in view, surrounded by the dramatic Andalusian landscape, creates an atmosphere that is almost impossible to duplicate. We were told that if you can time your visit around sunset, the experience becomes even more spectacular as the light changes over the mountains and the bridge. What impressed us most was that Albacara is not simply a restaurant that relies on its incredible location. The food, service, atmosphere, and setting all come together to create a memorable experience. For anyone visiting Ronda, I would highly recommend making a reservation at Albacara and requesting a table with a view, especially on the terrace. It is the kind of place where you want to slow down, enjoy the meal, have a glass of wine, and simply take in the scenery. Albacara is definitely worth visiting.
