". This is a lorry drivers' caff. It serves mainly the drivers from the quarries just up the road, and other workmen. This has two consequences. Firstly, the servings are pretty big, seeking to satisfy the hunger of men involved in hard physical work. And secondly a table of three ladies is not a common sight! To get there you take the road out of Marbella past the La Canada shopping centre, up towards Ojen. You go past Ojen, then past the turn off to the Refugio de Juanar (unless you are taking up my suggestion for the lovely walk first see below , and then it's along on the left in a pine forest. Have been here several times, on the way back from the lovely walk along the Juanar valley. To do the walk, you take the turning to the Refugio de Juanar (very well signposted on the left, coming from Marbella , drive past the Refugio itself until the very end of the road. Park where you can and walk through the metal gates. Then just keep walking for 1.5 km, through a pine forest, an olive grove, a beautiful open valley in the hills, until you come to the look out point at the very end of the track, with its view down to Marbella and, on a clear day, over to Gibraltar and even North Africa. Totally traffic free, along a wide track, with just the sound of the birds. Delightful! One of the best walks ever. Then the same walk back, with a different perspective of the glorious countryside, get into the car and head for the Venta Pula for the best value meal you'll ever eat. The Venta Pula is set among pine trees with a large car/lorry park, right next to the picnic area for the forest. There's a crowded bar, a large dining room, and an outside terrace where a flock of hens were pecking at the bread that we dropped for them. Don't panic when they show you the menu. No, there are no prices marked. It's a three course set price menu. You'll be able to afford it, i promise you! When we were there last week the menu was the following: 1st course a choice of: Gazpacho, Savoury rice, Pasta in tomato sauce, or Mixed salad with goat's cheese. By the time you've eaten all this you'll feel pretty full, but there's more to come! 2nd course chicken and chips, fried mixed fish with vegetables, spicy chorizo sausages with potatoes, or eggs and chips. Puds rice pudding (Spanish style cold with a sprinkling of cinnamon , or creme caramel, or custard. All home made. A large bread roll and a drink (bottled water, beer, can soft drink or large glass of wine were included in the price. The price? Oh, didn't i mention it? For all that just 8 euros. €8. : ."

"Eating 2 days in a row because there are tasty things on the menu. Yesterday the lettuce, lasagna and pizza. Today the goat and albondigas. We had a delicious meal. Cozy atmosphere and very friendly service. Parking: A small parking lot within walking distance. I don't think you can park on Tuesday because of the market. Service: Dine in"

"Saw this place mentioned on TripAdvisor liked the sound of the E7.50 meal of the day. Hunted the restaurant down asked for menu. Then asked for the 3 course meal of the day menu. Told they didn't do 1!!!!! So ordered our drinks. No orange juice for my wife, only Fanta. Nice cold beer, but almost flat but still went bown well. Menu was translated into English, but so many mistakes!! 2 Soups ordered. Now when bread is mention in the soup description, you may think that it comes with it. Wrong, it is in the soup. My Chicken soup was tasty, but only 1 tink bit of Chicken, 3 pieces of bone loads of bread Chickpeas. My wifes soup was Ham Egg. Packet Ham chopped boiled egg plus loads of bread. Ham Egg ok, but rest Yuk. Then Main course. I ordered Ribs. Sorry no Ribs! So i ordered Pork stew with sausage chips, surprisingly tasty. My wife ordered Hawaiian Salad. Didn't expect canned Fruit Salad with lettuce. So overall 2 Soups, 2 Mains 2 pints a Fanta E27.20. Never Again!!"
