We would like to draw your attention to an important matter – where to find the finest tapas. Of course, there are more serious issues in the world, but in Marbella it is indeed important to know your way to the best providers of what is a fun social experience as well as a wonderful way to enjoy lunch or dinner.
Like any Spanish town, Marbella is richly endowed with spots where you can order these mostly savoury snacks, which come in small tapa, medium-sized ración and larger plato sizes. The venues vary greatly, from small, unassuming cafés and bars full of life to larger eateries that serve entire groups of hungry customers. They also venture from the traditional and affordable to more boutique, avant-garde and ‘designer’ offerings. When it comes to tapas, there is no right or wrong, just the desire to experience typical delicacies in a social setting, be it indoors, at the bar or on a shaded or indeed sunny terrace overlooking the sea.
Lekune Bar, formerly known as Gorky, is a reference point popular with locals that serves classic tapas such as breaded cheese deep-fried with cane syrup, hearty croquettes, Spanish tortilla omelettes, a range of sausages and meat dishes, Ensaladilla Rusa, as well as local fish delicacies.
