Location:
Nueva Andalucia, Marbella
Why Should I Go?
While the location (on a main roundabout) doesn’t exactly sound like the ideal spot for a restaurant, once you actually enter this venue the rustic outdoorsy feel and the welcoming ambience really make you forget where you actually are.
The staff at OAK really go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and the intimate garden setting under the stars makes for a super special meal.
The steak is one of the best in Puerto Banus and the Pina Colada served inside a real pineapple is serious cocktail goals.
The restaurant also has some great dishes suitable for vegetarians such as the roasted vegetables with goats cheese and a great mushroom risotto.
OAK is also located right next to La Sala – one of Puerto Banus’ most visited venues, so if you’re looking for somewhere to party after your meal this is a great start before heading down into the Port!
Dress Code: Smart
Food Type: Steakhouse / Mediterranean
Ambience: Chilled/Romantic
Best Time To Visit: Early Evening
