La Puntilla is another of the typical Spanish tapas bars and restaurants in the mainly Spanish populated part of town.
Highly recommended if you want to sample the tapas and the atmosphere of the town, it will serve you a tapas when you order a drink and don't be frightened to ask for it if they are busy and not offering you one quick enough.
You can also eat lunch and dinner at tables on the street or the roof terrace if it is very busy, again because of the quality of the food this is a very busy restaurant but you never have to wait long for a table. When there is food football on the television you will find the locals come out in numbers,especially if it is Spanish team involved,not to be missed.

Bar Dolores (El Chispa) is a bar/restaurant where the speciality is fresh fish and shellfish. They will also serve you a tapas with every drink ordered in the bar.
There is a seperate area for eating if you want to get away from the noise of the lively bar.
This is another of the local haunts in a prominently Spanish part of town, they have large screens for all the major football tournaments.
I would recommend you search this one out if you want to get away from the main tourist areas, with a little research you will find this part of town has a lot going for it.

Pinocchio is a very busy restaurant and if you eat there you will understand why. Most people come back more than once while in Nerja. It has something for all the family and in the summer or warmer weather you can sit out on the garden patio.
The menu has pasta, pizza, fish and meat, they also have a selection of starters to suit everyone. If you are in a large party I would recommend booking if it is possible,but as the place is so busy in the summer they may not accept booking unless you are a regular,so turning up early in the evening would near guarantee a table. They are also open late, so if you like eating late you can usually get a table. It is busy all the year round with the expat community who live there.The staff are very friendly and there is warm friendly atmosphere.
Parking is at the rear but you cannot enter direct for the carpark,it is the largest free carpark in the town,you drive in via the Bahia area of town and you have various exits on foot,to get near to the exit for Pinocchio's you drive towards the palm tree with the lights on it and in the corner you will find the exit that brings you out right next to the restaurant.

"El Breine" is a"Chiringuito" beach bar/restaurant on the"Playa El Playazo"at the edge of town in the direction of Torrox.
They serve one of,if not the best Paella in Nerja,they also have a full menu of all the usual dishes served in the area, plus a fish of the day that is cooked over wood.
You are advised to get there early for lunch as the paella goes fast, the parking is free and should be used as it is illegal to park on the beach.
Access is via the N340 between Nerja and Torrox. You turn into the Marinas de Nerja Hotel and drive along the front and down the side until you reach the beach, then turn left and drive along about 500 metres. I highly recommend this place if you like paella.

This is a relatively new tapas bar/cafeteria just off the main through road of town. It is the second El Duque in Nerja and is run by the son of the family that owns both. It serves a tapas with every drink and has a very good menu that will suit all family members, a great bar to watch the football during the season, especially the big games when all the locals come out. Very entertaining.
