Santiago's Kitchen

Restaurant€€€All yearEvening700 m walk

Our favourite dinner spot in the village — a beautifully restored townhouse in Alhaurín's old town with a magical courtyard terrace under citrus trees, all soft lighting in the evening. The food is international with lots of pan-Asian dishes, the staff are super friendly, and it works just as well for a couple as for a big group. On the pricier side, but so worth it — and it's only a short walk from the house.

Simon's tip

It's very popular — book ahead by email (santiagoskitchen1@gmail.com). A perfect summer evening destination: ask for a terrace table. In winter, keep an eye out for their Sunday roast served on the terrace on sunny days.
