A classic on Playa de Burriana where the paella, espetos and ribs keep people coming back year after year

There are places in Nerja that do not need much of an introduction. Merendero Moreno has for years been one of those landmark spots on Playa de Burriana that people return to without a second thought, and it is no coincidence: always busy, with a terrace overlooking the sea and a menu that covers everything from breakfast to dinner without any fuss.

The cooking is Mediterranean and straightforward. The espetos are among the best you can find in the area, according to those who have tried them after touring the whole Málaga coast. The paella has its loyal followers, the grilled ribs attract more than a few compliments, and the Caesar salad appears in more than one review as a detail that pleasantly surprises. For those with gluten intolerance, the menu clearly indicates the gluten-free options.

The service is quick and the atmosphere lively, as befits a time-honoured beach merendero. No unnecessary pretensions, but just enough to enjoy a good meal in front of the Mediterranean.
