Restaurant
El Olivo de La Cala
Mijas

El Olivo de La Cala is a Mediterranean restaurant on Calle Butiplaya in La Cala de Mijas, the beach village on the coast south of the home, and it has been part of the village for more than fifteen years. The house puts a lot of weight on its rooms. There is an open air terrace under the Mediterranean sky, made for warm evenings and the sunset, and inside there are dining rooms gathered around a central fireplace, which makes it a place that works in winter as well as in summer. A wine cellar holds over a hundred Spanish references from the main regions, chosen by the house sommelier and renewed with the seasons. The kitchen describes its cooking as the authentic flavours of the region: seafood, Iberian meats, seasonal vegetables and desserts made in house, with fish and shellfish chosen from the market each day. The cold starters give a good idea of the style: a serrana salad, a rocket salad, a foie gras salad, avocado with prawns, a classic prawn cocktail, smoked salmon, melon with Iberian ham, and portions of Iberian ham and cured cheese to share. Further sections cover warm starters, fish, meat, grilled meats and a cheese board, with seafood paella and steaks among the dishes the house highlights. Anyone with an allergy is asked to say so when booking, and the kitchen adapts where it can. Groups from six people are welcome for birthdays, christenings, anniversaries and company dinners, with long tables inside or on the terrace and a menu proposed to suit the occasion. Tables can be booked online. Pets are not allowed, apart from assistance dogs.
