It is a very old seafood restaurant and very casual but what I like about it is that they kept their food all this time with the same quality,if you want to enjoy good seafood dishes and with great prices than you should try it.

Been coming here for years when we are on holiday - great place to eat - not posh but just comfortable & a really pleasant tasty experience 7 of us ate like kings with drinks for €90 .... how can you go wrong ?!?!? We...arrive for 830pm when it’s only slightly busy - by 930pm the place is packed - and you know why :))) Quality delicious fresh tasting food & plenary of it. Staff pleasant & helpful We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurantMore

The...one of best restaurant in downtown for fish and absolutely the n1 for value for money!More
Fresh fish everyday,simple dishes local customers Excellent quality shrimp pil pil out of this world Great local wines Salads are big and super tasty
One thing holds true for bar California. It is cheap. And at it can be a very good quality. Actually the venue is not very nice. Sitting in the white lights in plastic tables is not what you call a get-away. Waiters are faster than...good listening. No English. Take care that the Google maps location is wrong it is at the end of the street Close to the big main street- Maybe a reason that you don’t find too many tourists there. Check the fish inside. They know how to prepare it to perfection but sometimes the fish is not that fresh. We were lucky but I saw fish that looked older. When you picked up a fresh one go together with the fried Aubergines (yummy) and the tomato salad. Drink a class of two euro house wine and invest the saved money in a new Gucci bag-If you just invested ...this is your payback evening...30 euros and two people are happy. But take care that you get the fresh fish and that’s not your first date dinner on plastic tables :-)More
So an authentic fisher family restaurant- grabs my attention. Away from the main drag and doesn’t open till late- sounds like the real deal. Given a menu with about 30 fish & 20 shellfish dishes listed. Not that much on display as I would expect...so ask what is good today. Given no options apart from sea bass . Asked for tomato salad. Huge fish , tastily cooked with garlic but has not been de scaled. Salad is brown lettuce, raw onion in huge chunks & 4 bits tomato. Bill with one glass of wine is more than for 2 of us last night & a bottle of wine. So much promise let down by attitude. The society of fishermen at the harbour was loads better- avoid this placeMore
An average retsaurant in an average neighbourhood. The fish and squit we ate was fresh, but nothing special. Was good and brought quickly by the staff that spoke english.
Best fish restaurant in Marbella. Fisherman’s family, always fresh, great value for money. Have been going for 30 years.
We’ve been constantly ignored by 3 waiters. 2 other tables that came after us were served before us (multiple times). After my question why they ignore us nothing changed, so we left very angry. NEVER again!
I have been visiting this fabulous fish and seafood restaurant for over 30 years and never been disappointed! The freshest of locally caught fish and seafood cooked to perfection, lovingly served by truly professional waiters who have a passion for what they are doing. Prices...are very reasonable, portions generous and the quality is unbeatable! Bar California is simply THE place for fish and seafood in Marbella.More
This is a no frills fresh seafood & fish restaurant. If you like your fish - give it a try... the outside does not do it justice - go at peak times & it will be full - that says everything! We have eaten here...a couple of times & it’s wonderful - for an aside the chick pea coated aubergine is heaven. Make sure you don’t order too many sides as the protein packed fish is very filling. If you are not sure what to order they will happily assist... The calamari is heaven - my rosado was beautiful, meaty white pieces perfectly cooked - there is an open kitchen - everything is fresh... at busy times expect to wait!More
I have eaten few times at the California and IMHO this place is good and reasonable priced. They serve only fish and it's always worth asking to the waitress what daily special is available. For example, last time I was there they had freshly catched...baby soles! Drinks are reasonable priced too and the staff is nice even if sometimes they are so busy we had to wait a bit or just chase them big time :) Good food and reasonable prices. I am an aficionado!More
This is a simple restaurant doing one thing very well Fish prepared the way it should be, simple and delicious whether you want Tapas or a full meal, and very well priced, you may have to cue as it gets very busy but it is...worth the wait.More
It is a restaurant that have been since long time in Marbella it is still keeping it is standard after all this years. They have great fresh seafood but no paella the waiters are friendly but the restaurant is not trendy but u eat good,...prices r very fair but don't have a wide range of wine n it is most of the time very busy.More
California is a simple Spanish restaurant with plastic tables and chairs outside but the fish served is excellent. They are located on the other side of the road to the Amare Hotel, adjacent to a Chinese restaurant. If you want good fish with the benefit...of being very reasonably priced, this is the place to go! The salads are also very good as is the aubergine with honey!More
