Merendero Los Cangrejos - Benalmádena

Fantastic local cuisine fresh salad and fish. The red pepper salad tomato anchovy salads were fantastic as were the Sardines, cooked on the barbecue. I couldn’t fault anything

We stumbled in here for lunch, which was average in itself but my God the service( only to tourists) was appalling. We saw a few non Spanish couples trying to pay only to be ignored by the rude young waiter, for what seemed like ages. If they only want Spaniards to eat there they should put a sign up outside saying so. What a pity that they let themselves down like this, as this is the only time we have experienced this behaviour like this in all the times we have visited this lovely area, we hate to leave negative reviews but we felt we had to about here, we waited nearly an hour for the bill even when the place was nearly empty. We used our Spanish to order food and drinks but we still felt like we we’re not wanted there. Shame. Luckily there are plenty of friendly restaurants nearby who will be getting our custom in future.

Food was great but service rude and uncaring. Had to ask for everything, and get staff’s attention, just to order food and drinks and even for cutlery.

Un restaurante al lado de la playa y del paseo marítimo, personal muy amable y cercano, cocina rápida y muy rico, raciones generosas.., un sitio para repetir.

Fuimos a almorzar hoy y la comida estuvo excelente, platos bien servidos y frescos. Pedimos sardinas, calamares, cerdo, ensalada mixta y berenjenas, estas últimas estaban riquísimas ligeramente empanizadas con sirope de arce, se deshacen en la boca. El precio fue justo. Había mucha comida para los cuatro. No le di 5 estrellas porque solo la camarera de pelo lila fue amable y acogedora.
