8.5/10We enjoyed the food, the excellent service and the breathtaking view from the terrace. We had seafood dishes - calamars, sea bass (lubina) and bacalao - all very well prepared and tasteful. A good address...

10/10Very good value for the price. Not a fancy restaurant but with a terrace with a wonderful view and very friendly and fast service. The food was well prepared and delicious.

10/10Fantastic service, beautiful dining area outside. Inside looked lovely as well. Food was very good. For somewhere that is very nice and smart the prices of the food were the same as most of the bar type places to eat, but it was much better quality here. Loved it!

9.5/10We enjoyed dining at Abades restaurant in Ronda, foos was very good, prepared and served with care. We were 2 people and wehad two courses, one dessert and 3 glasses of wine and we played around 80 euros that we found correct. We appreciated the quality of staying, difficult to find among all restaurants in Ronda that are rather turistiche.

9/10Great service. Waiters were attentive and the ambience was very suitably provided by the music duo. The initial organisation was a bit chaotic as far as booking timings and seating were concerned but it eventually worked out. The food was well presented and generally of high quality. Catering and entertainment are to be congratulated.

2/10Food were absolute terrible. We had tomato soup, oxtail and lamb. Tasteless and very bad made. All of it. Don't think anybody with any cooking skills work there.

4.5/10To be honest it felt like everything had been prepared hours before. The goats cheese was rock hard, the salmon tartar with avocado also had onion in it which overwhelmed the salmon and avocado flavours. The jamon egg and potatoes was also lacking jamon. I think there were 3 skinny pieces. The Fillet steak was dry with 10 chips half a broccoli flower. The salmon and prawn lasagne was tasty but dry. The view was stunning but overall completely underwhelming and disappointing. Will definitely be trying somewhere else next time.

9.5/10the restaurant is in a fantastic location in ronda. we were there on an October evening so there were only a couple of other groups of diners. However the service was very attentive and the food was superb. We were really happy with what we ordered, all local Spanish dishes and all very tasty 😋

We came for lunch on the way from Malaga to Seville. The food was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. Nay made some great recommendations for food and wine. The space was casually elegant and the view was spectacular. I would highly recommend!

3.5/10Within fifteen minutes of sitting down our meals were served. The three Rabo de Torres were cold and had to be sent back, and the salmon with langostines had one medium prawn and was filled with cold uncooked vegetables. I hate leaving a bad review but in this case we were very disappointed. The restaurant looked beautiful and had a wonderful view. We ignored the dead roses in every vase on every table.

5.5/10Started well with a nice welcome and an incredible table on the patio overlooking the mountains and a beautiful sunset. Initial olive oil serving was tasty but then the bread that came with it got us worried a bit. Not fresh. Our concerns were confirmed with the Chef’s « amuse-bouche » which was meant to be fancy bruschetta that failed miserably. Overall food was average at best, and way too expensive for what it was. At such price one would not expect tartare to be flooded with onions, tomato tuna salad to be served with caned tuna, raviolis to be flooded (again!) in cream. Note that the parmesan and black pepper that we’ve asked for to try to make something out of it were never served to us. The main waiter was fine but his second was obviously not happy to be there. Hence, this promising place falls short. Too bad, the view was exceptional, and at the end, it was the only worth paying for.

The view is spectacular from the back terrace where we were sat. The food for the price is nothing out of ordinary. Service was very good.

4/10The restaurant was not busy and lacked atmosphere. The food was lacking in flavour and therefore we left after the main course to have coffee elsewhere. Waiters were friendly but lacked enthusiasm

8/10The food here was really good, and the staff were lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The views also were outstanding. We had a slightly unusual meal because we had three starters (only) between the two of us, because it was hot and we didn’t want too much food, and they were fine with that. We thought about having a dessert because there was a fine-sounding chocolate coulant on the menu, but we found the loud music so intrusive that we decided against it. To their credit the staff had turned the music down when we asked, but perhaps because there were very few people in the restaurant it remained on the whole time we were there, which was a shame because this is a serious restaurant and the music did not improve the ambience. Music is such a personal thing.

The restaurant has a beautiful view over the gorge and the sunset bathes the dining room in a lovely glow. The service is top notch. We had the croquets, salmon stuffed with shrimp and the sollomillo. For dessert we tried the bienmesabe rondeno - a very good local dessert.

9.5/10
We enjoyed a lovely lunch here recently. The dining room is beautiful, with large windows and lots of natural light. It looks over the beautiful countryside, although there's a large outdoor terrace between the dining room and the view. The service was very good despite our speaking little Spanish. We shared a salad with goat's cheese and apples that was very fresh. My husband had the ravioli which he enjoyed a lot, but the showstopper was the slow cooked lamb. A huge portion of beautifully cooked, tender lamb with a nice selection of grilled vegetables and some good French fries. We wanted to have dessert, but just couldn't manage it after our large mains. Wines by the glass were good and the cafe con leche was excellent. Part way through our lunch, a large and noisy tour group came into the restaurant and we thought that it was going to ruin the ambiance, but they were seated in a separate dining room so it was perfect.
