Enjoy the rural France of Fuengirola

Perfectly situated overlooking Fuengirola marina, Café on the Port – Bar and Bistro has quickly become a must-visit destination for foodies and wine lovers on the Costa del Sol.

The charming hangout aims to provide both a dining experience that is unforgettable and a place for casual meetings. There are a variety of dishes made with fresh ingredients sourced locally and an extensive wine list, including French wines, which you won’t find anywhere else.

The café’s menu is a celebration of seasonal and regional produce, put together with passion to highlight the fullest and freshest flavours. This kitchen does not have a microwave or freezer. Every dish, from tender steaks searred on hot stone to colourful salads influenced by local ingredients, tells a tale. The hot stone method is a specialty that locks in nutrients while bringing out the rich flavours of meats. This offers a delicious and healthy culinary experience. ‘We’re big believers in fresh food, not fast food,’ the owners declare, showing their passion for taste and feeling good.

The owners’ encyclopaedic knowledge of French varietals has brought about a carefully curated French wine selection including a three-time world champion rosé and a gold-standard 2018 vintage and a unique “Hmmm” wine that stumped critics with its originality. Each bottle has a unique story to tell and is priced reasonably. ‘The terrain, acidity, and sunlight in France create grapes unlike those in Spain,’ they explain, showcasing smoother, distinctive flavours. The guests can sign up for wine samplings to learn more about these artisanal selections.

With the calming backdrop of Fuengirola’s marina, Café on the Port invites diners to savour not just a meal but a moment in the sunshine, with smiles and good company. Focus is on serving freshly prepared food with warmth and fine wines. Whether you’re indulging in a perfectly cooked steak or sipping a rare French wine, the Café on the Port promises great memories.
