Tanino San Pedro: Three continents of taste

Tanino offers a blend of Mediterranean soul foods with generous toppings of Latin and Asian cuisine, as well as a wine list to make you drool.

Entering, the décor dazzles, as it should, with a spacious, light-filled space with a jungle-inspired edge, offering a feast for the eyes as much as the palate. The service was excellent right from the beginning: friendly, amicable and on-point, even in busy periods. The reviews were what tempted us: a 9.5/10 on The Fork, 9.5/10 on Michelin, and an average price per diner of between €25 and €40 per diner in this swish end of San Pedro wasn’t to be sniffed at.

Freshly smashed guacamole with tortilla chips and a spicy sautéed edamame with tonkatsu to start, followed by a sumptuously roasted Casablanca lamb shank with couscous and a teriyaki salmon with shiitake mushrooms and soybeans to seal the deal.

Mixing surf n’ turf at the same table, we went midway with a fine Ronda Rosé (what else in Malaga province?) The price was also very reasonable.

I will definitely be back, especially once the weather permits terrace dining. Booking ahead at the weekends is a good idea. In any case, look up Tanino on Avenida del Mediterráneo, San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbella. Reservations can be made by calling 952 604 0848.
