Although the menu is quite Spartan the quality of the meat and fish is excellent. However, the wine is extortionate at €12 a glass (similar in size to a small glass in the UK) and not particularly palatable either. For the most part the restaurant...is empty of patrons but the service is excruciatingly slow, prepare for a long wait. The staff are attentive and friendly but the slow service, limited menu and price are definitely not good enough.More

We went on a Groupon deal. We had 4 starters, 4 mains, 4 desserts and 2 bottles of wine for 44.90 euro. The starters and desserts were fantastic, the mains were nice and the wine was lovely. The service from the staff was very attentive....I would have been a little disappointed had we paid full price for our meals, but on the deal we had it was fantastic value for money. Have the burgers they are immense.More

Lovely restaurante with good service. However, having read the reviews prior to visiting, we were a little disappointed with the quality of the food and the overall atmosphere. My husband was disappointed with his Russian Salad starter which he felt was quite bland and tasteless....My starter of black noodles and prawns however was very good. I had a sirloin steak main course and although it was perfectly cooked, found it to be far too salty. My husband was equally disappointed with his sucking pig which was much smaller than you would expect and was only accompanied by slices of apple. This is a lovely looking restaurant and the staff are lovely and the service very good. In addition, the drinks are very reasonably priced. However, we were disappointed with the quantity and quality of the food.More

We had read the advertisement in the free local paper and the few reviews on Trip Advisor. Decided to try the 3 - course menu del dia. Great location and attractive modern decor with a good outlook. We started with Gulas salad and a thick...tomato soup with bacon, served cold. Both came with bread and butter. For mains we both had grilled Lenguado with roasted veg and mash. Shared a bottle of good house wine and agua con gas. For desert it was cheesecake with a cortado to finish. Even the toilets were spotlessly clean. A fabulous dining experience and we will go back.More

We determined to eat at the Gatazul as it stood out as being a cut above many of the usual beachside restaurants in Benalmadena. However, despite remarkably comfortable and pleasing setting and a most engaging and pleasant host, the food was disappointing to say the...least. An expensive disappointment as well. It may well be that we choose a bad time, we were very early, around 7'o clock and the room was completely empty, until another German couple came in. However, the food whilst edible was not anything like as good as the good in some of the more 'ordinary' eating places. My fish came unaccompanied just fillets of overcooked snapper in a glutinous sauce. Quite edible but certainly not value for money at all. My wife's fillet beef noodles was overcooked and with not a lot of beef. So, very disappointing. The restaurant has a beautiful ambience, our host was remarkably personable and helpful, he even put some classical guitar music on the sound system for us. It was quite expensive and certainly not value for money. As I say given the excellent reviews, possibly we caught them on an off day.More

Nicest place we ate in Benalmedena. There is so much fried food everywhere else it was nice to have a choice of proper decent food here and lovely wine. Good choice of fish, meat and vegetarian options. Slightly More expensive for food than the main...strip but far superior quality and still good value and great choice. Nice staff, beautiful design. Really recommend it for couple or family. Early bird 3 course 12.30-4 very reasonableMore

We went to the restaurant this evening and was promptly seated in a lovely booth. The menu had a fantastic selection and our chosen meal was served quickly and very well presented. A great deal of effort has been made with the design of the...interior which is very easy on the eye. The food was excellent as was the care of service, we will definitely return and wish them all the best on their new ventureMore

We visited here on our first evening in Benalmadena and were wowed by the friendly welcome and service. Having had such a hard day travelling (up at 4am) we were after a light meal before an early bedtime! My husband and I both chose a...salad - for him prawn and tomato for myself feta, walnut and onion and we were both blown away - not only did it look fantastic it tasted amazing! Our daughter(11) chose grilled chicken and pineapple sauce which she very unsusally cleared her plate of! She was too full to choose a desert but managed to eat most of the cheesecake I and my husband chose. Also there is an excellent selection of drinks and I was extremely pleased with the wine the maitre De suggested. Highly recommend this modern and fresh restaurant when you are in the vicinity.More
