A few steps from the Balcón de Europa, this little spot with its own terrace wins over anyone who discovers it with its homemade cakes, good food and a service that makes you want to come back again and again

There are places in Nerja that one would rather keep secret, and Bar-Restaurante Mena Garden is one of them. Hidden in Calle El Barrio, near the Balcón de Europa, it has that rare combination of a long-established place with careful cooking and an atmosphere that invites you to stay longer than planned.

Those who already know it usually return for its homemade cakes, which more than one person highlights as one of the best reasons to stop off mid-morning. But the menu goes much further: breakfasts, lunches, dinners and a selection of cocktails that make it a versatile choice for any time of day.

What comes up most often in reviews, however, is not the food but the service. The team at the venue, with a special mention for Veronika, creates that friendly, unhurried atmosphere that is becoming harder and harder to find. Its cosy terrace does the rest.
