They are open every day: Ayo, from 9.00 am to 7.00 pm, and Sal &amp; Pimienta, from 11.30 am to midnight, with no break. Anyone arriving at midday on a Monday should head to these last two.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Can you have a second helping of paella at Ayo?<\/h3>\n<p>Not anymore. For years, that was its main selling point, and many guidebooks still advertise it as such, but nowadays only a single dish is served, with no second helping. It\u2019s worth bearing this in mind so you don\u2019t turn up with that expectation.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Can you have lunch at La Fuente Restaurant?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Although it\u2019s the highest-rated restaurant in Nerja \u2014 4.7 out of over 1,400 reviews \u2014 it\u2019s only open from 5.30 pm to 11.00 pm and is closed on Mondays, so it\u2019s a dinner-only restaurant. It\u2019s an Italian restaurant, serving pizza, pasta and grilled dishes, and it has an extensive vegan and gluten-free menu.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Where can you get a set menu in Nerja?<\/h3>\n<p>In the bars and restaurants on the side streets, two or three blocks inland from the Balc\u00f3n de Europa, where prices are noticeably lower. The Cafeter\u00eda Calabella offers a set menu for around 12 euros with views of Calahonda beach. It is usually served from Monday to Friday at lunchtime.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What is the typical food in Nerja?<\/h3>\n<p>Sardine skewers, threaded onto a stick and grilled over embers stuck in the sand; they are eaten with your hands and are a staple of beach bars. Also fried fish and produce from the Axarqu\u00eda region, such as avocados and mangoes, as well as sweet Muscat wine.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Where to have dinner in Nerja?<\/h3>\n<p>La Fuente, in Plaza Balc\u00f3n de Europa, is the highest-rated restaurant and serves dinner only. El Pulguilla is open from 7.30 pm to 11.30 pm and Sal &amp; Pimienta until midnight. Ayo, on the other hand, closes at 7.00 pm and does not serve dinner. During the high season, it\u2019s advisable to book in advance, particularly for the terraces with sea views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/where-to-eat-in-nerja\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Nerja\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/nerja\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Where to eat in Nerja\"}]},{\"@type\":\"ItemList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/where-to-eat-in-nerja\/#restaurantes\",\"name\":\"Where to eat in Nerja\",\"numberOfItems\":5,\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"Restaurant\",\"name\":\"El Pulguilla Bar\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"streetAddress\":\"C.
