El Atíco

An exceptional experience at El Atico restaurant in Gaucín! Stunning setting with breathtaking views of the mountains and Gibraltar, perfect for enjoying the sunset. Lisa gave us a warm and attentive welcome, and her husband, the chef, delighted us with delicious dishes (special mention for the perfectly cooked sirloin). On top of that, we were offered a complimentary aperitif and a bottle of Cava due to a reservation change. Excellent value for money. A must-visit spot! ✨

Amazing dining experience with fabulous views. From the moment we arrived Lisa and Richard were wonderful hosts, we felt so welcome. The restaurant has clean lines and a modern feel, with tremendous views out over the serrania and all the way to Africa. The food is top notch, well chosen dishes that reflect the chef-owners own passions and are truly delicious. Plenty of meat and fish on the menu but I loved the availability of vegetables and vegetarian options too. And wo derful desserts! Definitely returning before my holiday ends. An absolute gem.

Unbelievable food and a stunning view across the village, and all the way into Africa on a clear day. Proprietors are lovely, the G&Ts are perfect and it’s all great value. Get the steak. Can’t go wrong!

Our best experience at a restaurant in Gaucin. The couple running the restaurant were so kind and welcoming; they paid ample attention to each table, owing to the fact that they book smaller amounts to provide that catered experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the view out to the Rock of Gibraltar was stunning! If we are ever in Gaucin again, we will be back.

Went for dinner with friends who had been there before, it was our first visit to Gaucin and the food, atmosphere and service were amazing. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return when next in the village.

Wonderful view. Relaxed atmosphere and outstanding food!
Lisa and Richard were lovely and welcoming. A must visit if you are in Gaucin.

Some of the best food iv ever had and the view is awesome see photo.
Amazing service. If you’re near by you need to stop. The owners served us and was such a nice person.

When tried to make a reservation they were full. Then I got and email back that there had been a cancellation and we could eat there Sunday. What a great location close to the top of the village with a stunning view all the way to Gibraltar and Morocco. The food and wine were outstanding. I had a steak and my wife had a great piece of fish. Both were cooked just right. The whole experience was wonderful with great and friendly service. Thanks Lisa and Richard, we'll be back.

We had a fantastic meal at El Atico for our family celebration . One vegan one vegetarian and three meat eaters were catered for beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather - the view was spectacular. Definitely to be recommended.

This place is absolutely amazing!!! My fold was incredible. My dad said he had "the best steak" he'd ever had. My picky sister was accommodated for and loved her meal. And my gluten free sister had lots of choices and loved it all. The staff are amazing and so friendly. Such a warm environment. 110% recommend

An amazing restaurant, outstanding views and fault less food. Welcome and service went above and beyond what we expected.
Best steak my husband has every had.
Lisa and Richard made us feel so welcome.
Even had a menu that was extensive for my daughter who is vegetarian but also has coeliac disease.
Would highly recommend rate here.

Had a really wonderful meal this afternoon, a party of six of us. Lisa and Richard were the perfect hosts with loads of smiles and great interaction. The food was first class and I would really recommend El Atico if you want to treat yourself.

I cannot say enough positive things about my time at El Atico and about the owner Lisa. My husband and I held the welcome dinner for our wedding at the restaurant this July and Lisa was such a professional and thoughtful person throughout the entire experience. We live in Brooklyn and planning our wedding from so far would not have been possible without the kindness of the Lisa and Hugs. We had a beautiful cocktail hour before dinner and then a seated meal for 35 after. Lisa helped us think through every detail - from seating to wine to the food menu and even floral arrangements. please go to El Atico when you are in Gaucin and think of them for larger events.

Went to this amazing place last night with my husband, it was superb! We are both 100% plant based vegans which i did not mention upon booking, we got scolded for this as the wonderful hostess said she would have made us a special vegan supper. However, the menu is so good anyway that this presented no problem for us. The chef was totally accommodating and just upped the veggie content of our main course. All 3 courses were delicious and the organic Rosé proved to be a fabulous accompaniment. The whole place is beautifully decorated and the views are out of this world. Cannot recommend El Atico too highly, we will definitely be back!!

Amazing place. Excellent, attentive service. We were made to feel like family, not visitors. Food was good. Limited menu (which I think is a positive!)and not very Spanish, but all very tasty and beautifully presented. Superb views down to the coast. Be sure to book!

What a lovely little restaurant! Lisa and Richard were amazing hosts and explained the menu to us thoroughly. The views are unmatched.

Fantastic food, fabulous hosts and a truly stunning view. Our third visit to El Atico, we stay about 40 minutes away on the coast, but El Atico is well worth the drive. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Faboulous cuisine, service & music = El Atico. Just drop in and spend a wonderful time in an elegant place but reservation necessary. Secret ingredients added by the owners - heart & passion. Keep it up.

Fabulous menu and staff. A faultless evening. The recommended wine (not the most expensive) and service is to be commended. You will not be disappointed x

Superb food well priced considering the quality of the food great selection of good quality wines fabulous views as well my wife who is vegetarian had a good choice of dishes worth booking as it gets very busy. The views from the terrace are fabulous with a great view of the castle
