Los Caracoles is an unusual hotel and restaurant above the Frigiliana-Torrox road, with a very quirky and stylish design. The buildings are in the shape of snail shells (hence the name - caracoles is Spanish for snails). The views across to the mountains, Frigiliana and the Mediterranean are fantastic. 2 of us had lunch at Los Caracoles on a sunny... More

Just getting to Los Caracoles on the steep and winding road from Torrox to Frigiliana is an adventure in itself, but the adventure does not end when you finally drive into the car park at this restaurant balanced on the edge of the mountain, in fact its only really beginning! Like the hotel rooms below it, the restaurant at Los... More

We have eaten at Los Caracolos over the last several years and we have always had fantastic meals. This years visit was no exception, the service was great, the wine cold and the food first class. My husband had the taster menu which I helped share and we were very impressed with. My son had the chicken and mustard dish... More

With some small adjustment would be excellent. cold wine ( not Luke warm) a decent sauce on the kebabs and a complimentary liquire rather than a lollipop with the bill would have made all the difference. Recommend the duck breast, but dont expect any veg with it. Very nice staff.

There were no snails on the menu, which was surprising seeing as caracole is Spanish for snail. However, the name comes from the rooms in the grounds that are shaped like snail shells. Cute. The food was excellent, with good vegetarian options. Good wine list. Great views to the Mediterranean. Enough sun in January to lunch outside but take a... More

As you can see from the website this restaurant is part of a hotel with a very unusual architectural style. The buildings look almost like Hobbit-houses but whitewashed and set on an Andalusian hillside. The menu (in Spanish, English, German and French) was impressive, with a wide choice at each course and the restaurant was busy without feeling crowded. There... More
