What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Asador La Chumbera is celebrated for its prime beachfront location and exceptional meat dishes, particularly aged steaks that some reviewers hail as the best they've ever had. While many praise the romantic atmosphere and good service, some diners find the prices high and the service inconsistent, with a few feeling it doesn't quite match the Michelin Guide recognition or the cost.
"Food, service and ambience was incredible. We had the cheese platter, mussels, sea bass (or sole? I can’t remember) and duck. They were all cooked to perfection and the waiter was just lovely. For a Michelin star restaurant it also wasn’t super expensive. 10/10 will return!"
Erica Ilene
"Referenced in the Michelin guide, if you blink you’ll drive past this excellent traditional restaurant. Recommend booking, in fact i think that is compulsory. We shared starters and enjoyed aged steaks and fish main courses. The Muga wine was delicious as were our desserts. The 230 euro bill for four was washed down with complimentary bottles of baileys and limoncello. The service was great and the atmosphere felt private and spacious."
Mr Monday
"A-mazing 😳 we had the dry aged beef carpaccio, steak tartare on marrow and the 70 day dry aged ribeye and honestly.. the best we’ve ever had!! If you’re a meat lover this is the place to be."
