Taberna La Niña del Pisto

Taberna La Niña del Pisto – Spanish as it gets in Marbella’s Old Town

When you say typical Spanish, you say Taberna La Niña del Pisto. This is by far the most classic tapas bar in Marbella, hidden in the narrow streets of the Old Town. The walls are full of old photos and stories, the vibe is pure Andalusia, and the food is exactly what it should be—simple, honest and full of flavour. This place hasn’t changed in years, and we hope it never does.

It’s one of those spots where big bottles of wine are placed on the table for the whole family to enjoy. You order five or six tapas, share everything, and soak up the noise, the laughter and the smell of fried garlic. The pisto—Spain’s answer to ratatouille—is their signature dish, and it’s a must-try. But really, you can’t go wrong with anything here. From gazpacho to jamón, it’s all traditional, all good.

The small terrace outside is perfect for a lazy lunch or a casual dinner with friends, and inside you’ll find that rustic, cosy charm that makes you feel like you're eating in someone’s home. This is the kind of place that gives Marbella soul. A real must for the 2025 season—and every season after that.
