Bar Diamante

Although this bar/restaurant isn't in the centre of Marbella, it's very well-known, not only by locals but also by Spanish and foreign tourists. In addition to a varied menu of seafood and meat, they offer great prices and good service. Its location is near the Marbella football pitch, off the ring road. I recommend the "zarzuela de la casa" (you can choose which fish or shellfish you want), and the "lagrimitas de pollo" (strips of chicken marinated and fried). Go early at the weekend or on holidays, because later it'll be impossible to find a table.
