Quality food and service

The Cala Luna restaurant is quite a gem.  Nestling in the corner of Plaza Pablo Ruiz Picasso, just behind the Paseo  Maritimo,  Fuengirola, it is a quality restaurant offering international and European cuisine at very reasonable prices. In the cosy ambience of this pretty rustic restaurant I sampled my first Hungarian cuisine.  My jaded opinion of English-style cottage cheese was revitalised when I sampled the Hungarian version, livened up with mustard, paprika and onions, for my aperitif. It was quite addictive! The Hungarian goulash, of perfectly cooked vegetables and tender pieces of beef in a  rich, spicy gravy had a real kick to it – perfect for a chilly evening.

For my main course, I chose the chicken stroganoff, succulent pieces of chicken with mushroom in delicious creamy sauce, complemented by a side of wild rice, and my meal was rounded off with a light, creamy classic, crème bruleé.

The presentation of each course was impeccable and the service was warm, courteous and attentive. Having been established here over a year now,  owners Andy and Krisztina, the most gracious of hosts, have a firm foothold in the hosteleria  business, after running establishments in the  British Isles for over eight years before heading for these warmer climes.

Cala Luna is certainly a place to sample something different, something you would never attempt in your own kitchen, and it does not require a taxi ride out of town, as most restaurants of this calibre do.

Andy and Krisztina also welcome and cater for private parties, birthdays and conferences, either in the main restaurant, or in  their private function room above the restaurant. I am certain that after eating there once, you will find yourself strolling down to Cala Luna on a regular basis to experience more of their culinary delights, and to check your emails on their free Wi-fi.

If you are looking for somewhere to celebrate the New Year, Cala Luna is offering a fantastic New Year’s Eve package only for €60.00.
