Bijou Bijou Marbella My Restauarant Review

After being told a couple of times about this little restaurant called Bijou Bijou in Marbella and then reading reviews on TripAdvisor we thought wed give it a go.

Its just off the Main Marbella Road so parking is best in the main carpark by the horse and carts.

Its a small restaurant inside and also has a little terrace out the back.  It was a beautiful evening and with the outdoor heaters we chose outside.

Menu was great for me as it was small meaning I could make my mind up quite quickly.  The starters were quite a good price ranging from 4€ to about 9€.   For starters we chose Thai Fish Cakes and also Frois Gras.  Both very nice.

Mains started around 11€ up to about 22€ I think.  A range of Sea Food, Fish, Steak and  Chicken.  I chose the Fillet Steak and my husband had the Fish.  Both very good.  My fillet steak did look small and was a bit of an odd shape but was cooked and tasted well.

We werent going to go for a pudding, but couldnt help ourselves.  Went for the Chocolate Fondant - sounded very tasty.

The plate came and it was just a lump of colapsed messy chocolate on the plate.  Tasted great but presentation...well I think I have probably been watching too much Master Chef...but fondants / souffles are very hard to do and if you are going to do them they have to look like a fondant / souffle....If not Id take it off the menu and make sure I serve something I can do 100% of the time.

Service was great....didnt have to ask for anything.  Quality of the food was very good.  I loved the fact that the starters and main courses were a mixture of the same ingrediants...therefore you know its going to be fresh as its used all the time.

Ambience...we went Saturday in November....very quiet but think would be lovely with more people in the summer months.

2 Starters, 2 Mains, 1 Pudding, Water, Wine, Gin & Tonic I think the bill was just under 70€. 

Would I go again?  Yes

Would I recommend?  yes
