Terrasana Golden Mile Marbella - Casual Funky Place to Eat in Marbella

I have a real love hate relationship with Terrasana. I love the concept, the look of it and the food, but sometimes the service and quality of food or lack of it in some cases just really let it down. This is the problem with a chain / franchise - it needs consistency and consistency is what many restaurants lack here.

We had plans to go out with some friends last night and I wanted somewhere with nice food, and a relaxed chilled atmosphere with music.

We went to Terrasana on the Golden Mile in Marbella. They had live music on Friday & Saturday this weekend. Although when I called them on Thursday to ask if there was live music - I was told NO only on Saturdays.

Anyway, we met there around 9ish. Staff were very nice - quite eager to get the order in but we were far to busy chatting. But they did offer a same of the Rosè before ordering - which went down very well.

The live music was to start at 9.30pm, well it was actually about 10.30pm of course! She was a good singer playing some really recent songs - Tabata I think was her name. It was nice listening to live music as there arent many places that do have it here.

For starters we had the 2 mixed plates of hummus, gaucomole, tortillas and on the other a mixture of Falafel & hummus - both very nice. 4 main courses of pizza, salad, tandori prawn dish and tandorri chicken, 1 dessert of delicious sticky toffee pudding and a lot of drinks.

The bill came to 124€uros which I thought was actually quite good value as we had sat there for nearly 4 hours too and certainly didnt go short of drinks.

It was also very nice to be offered drinks on the house (for some reason) so that was another 4 baileys all round.

I very nice evening with lovely people, good food and nice atmosphere. Will definately go back again.

So if you are looking for a place, chilled, casual, informal, little bit funky, then Terrasana on the Golden Mile opposite Lidl would be a good choice.
