El Cortijo in La Linea de la Conception

This simple family-run restaurant, located just a few metres from the village beach and boasting views of Gibraltar across the bay, occupies an attractive wood cabin with a bar area and two attractively appointed dining rooms. Although it offers an extensive traditionally based à la carte, its main specialities are fish and seafood from the waters around Gibraltar (Coquina clams, red prawns from Garrucha, tuna in lard etc), with many of its fresh products displayed in a refrigerated counter in one of the dining rooms. It’s best to book ahead here as it is invariably full every day!
