Buenaventura Overview

Buenaventura is set right in the heart of Old Town Marbella in the corner of the Plaza de la Iglesia stands this lovely little restaurant. Inside, it’s warm, cosy and traditional; outside faces onto the square and the beautiful 18th Century church and is probably the best al fresco dining spot in the centre of Marbella.

Headed up by chef Alexis Gonzalez, the food is prepared to perfection, simple but with subtle flavouring that brings it to life. Dishes include venison steak with juniper sauce and white fish with ratatouille and a thick almond cream. The chef’s Menu de Degustacion (the Tasting Menu) is an absolute pleasure to sample, offered with or without wine however I would suggest the former due to the chef’s selection for the different dishes acts as the perfect accompaniment.

Buenaventura welcomes visitors year round and is a winner with large groups and romantic couples alike.

Restaurante Buenaventura
Geraldine Woodwark
Food was stunning and wonderfully presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ask for a table on the square particularly on a Saturday. We were lucky enough to witness a wedding from the beautiful church. It was just wonderful to watch Spanish life before our very eyes. Memorable food and THE most fantastic desserts. A 'must visit' in Marbella.

Beautiful setting

I dined here in June 2007 and had a fantastic meal. THere were three of us eating and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food and the courtyard is beautiful. I thought the price was very reasonable for the standard of food and the location is great if you want to have a wander round the shops first. My only complaint was the service was very slow but we all felt that the restaurant were perhaps suffereing from a random staff shortage which we decided justified the speed! Highly recommended!
