When in Spain, eat tapas — and Marbella does not disappoint. Whether you're strolling the old town or sipping sangria near the beach, there's no shortage of places to grab small plates full of flavour.

From classic patatas bravas to juicy gambas al ajillo, Marbella’s tapas bars range from traditional to modern, and every visitor should try at least a few.

Here’s where to go if you want the best tapas in Marbella:

🍤 1. El Estrecho (Old Town Marbella)

Tucked into a narrow street in the Old Town, this local favourite has been serving proper, no-fuss tapas for decades. Go for the chorizo in red wine and the fried aubergine with honey.

🧀 2. Bodega La Venencia

A solid pick for anyone staying near the seafront. Classic Spanish vibes, cold beer, and a wide variety of tapas. Try the tortilla and manchego cheese.

🐙 3. La Taberna del Pintxo (Marbella & Puerto Banús)

Tapas on a stick! The servers walk around with plates of different bites — you just pick what you like and pay per stick at the end. Fun, lively, and great for groups.

🏡 Don’t Feel Like Going Out? Let the Tapas Come to You.
