- Why go?
- La Casa Rústica is one of those restaurants that has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: by sticking around and consistently doing things properly. Opened in 1994 and still run by owner Juan Antonio, it has become a go-to choice for both visitors and locals looking for traditional Mediterranean cooking, generous portions and professional service.
- What to order
- The grill is a good place to start. Chateaubriand, entrecôte, lamb chops and other grilled meats are among the restaurant's specialities. Their paellas, seafood and other Mediterranean classics are also strong choices. Come hungry. The portions aren't here to play around.
- Good to know
- This is a proper sit-down restaurant with plenty of space, including a covered interior patio and terrace. It's particularly well suited to groups, family meals and celebrations, but works just as well when you simply want a good dinner without taking any chances.
- Local fact
- You'll find La Casa Rústica right in the heart of Fuengirola's famous Fish Alley, surrounded by some of the town's best-known restaurants and bars. It's a great area to start with dinner and see where the evening takes you.
- Open
- Monday–Saturday, 18:00–23:00 · Closed Sunday.
- Verdict
- A Fuengirola institution. When in doubt, go where the locals have been going for decades.
