Reviews Summary
Kara's Food & Drink is praised for its authentic British home cooking, particularly the amazing barbecued ribs and hearty breakfasts. Diners appreciate the friendly and personal service, with many calling Kara herself a lovely hostess. While many enjoy the cozy atmosphere and good value, some reviews mention issues with service speed and food quality, with one diner reporting slow service and average food.
"Wow, we have been in Spain for two weeks travelling from sydney. This was the best meal we had and half of our 8 person group ordered a second main meal, crazy good!
Beef pie, chicken pie, scampi and the Haddock was insanely good. The menu looks the same as menus from the early 80s and delivers better food than I ever remember eating from back then, thanks Kara!"

"I recently landed in Málaga and was looking for something homey and there it was, and in Spain of all places, right next to the beach! Behold the mighty Kara's food and drink. I was thoroughly blown away with the standards honestly. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere combined with authentic British decor sets the perfect tone. Careless Whisper played in the background and I knew... it was time for a good ol' Fish n Chips 😎with some mushy peas and a Morgan's spiced with coke on the side. The fresh ingredients along with the engaging staff makes this a must-visit for anyone craving that quality British home cooking in the comfort of the Spanish seaside. Highly recommend!"
Anthony Dalton
"We have just come home from holidays, we initially went into the restaurant as it is the same name and spelling as my husbands daughter. But we were pleasantly impressed with the staff and the quality of food served there I would highly recommend eating here 100%. Thank you Kara for amazing food. Lisa and Jason ( Kara tattoo on his arm )"

15 Best Things to Do in Torremolinos (Spain)
The Costa del Sol may not be known for its winemaking, but around an hour west of Málaga is the Ronda wine region, where the high altitudes create the right conditions for colombard, chardonnay, macabeo, and sauvignon blanc grapes to thrive. The crianzas and blanca joven wines they produce pair wonderfully with seafood, and especially the fried tapas (chipirones, pescaíto frito) popular in Andalucia. Torremolinos has a restaurant mentioned in the Michelin guide; El Botijo Carihuela serves traditional Spanish country food, with lots of grilled meat and dishes like roast suckling lamb.
