What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante Don Julian is praised for its extensive tapas selection, creative dishes like the Don Julian burger and mushroom croquettes, and overall delicious food. Many highlight the friendly and attentive service, especially from staff member Pablo. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, one reviewer noted an outdated ambiance and issues with an overcooked burger and incorrect order.
"We had a beautiful family meal at this restaurant while on holiday in Fuengirola. I pre booked the table before the holiday, as there was 12 of us. The chef spoke great English and took time to communicate with me about the table and where would like to sit. The waiting staff were so attentive and helpful. The food was delicious. They also brought my mum some cake for her birthday and sung to her. It was a wonderful meal to end our holiday. Definitely worth a visit if you are in fuengirola."

"Had a really lovely meal here after having to leave another restaurant where children obviously weren't welcome. Here they were couldn't have been nicer and have highchairs. Food was lovely, solid cooking, don't miss the unusual patatas bravas and the croquetas.
Wines are mass market like most restaurants here, but there's lovely Fino, and service was really fantastic."
