El Chiringuito Puente Romano sits on the sand at Puente Romano Beach Resort on Marbella's Golden Mile. It's the beachfront restaurant attached to one of the Costa del Sol's most iconic luxury hotels, and the crowd and prices both reflect that.
It's one of the beach clubs in Marbella we cover in full, with prices and booking tips for each.
Tables sit under thatched umbrellas and reed canopies with open Mediterranean views. Premium sunbeds are available for day hire during high season. The resort's tropical gardens frame the space from behind.
This is a €€€ venue. You're paying for the location as much as the food, but the food is genuinely good. Rated 4.1 from 2,078 reviews, which is a strong score for a hotel beach restaurant on this stretch of coast.
Reservations are recommended, especially June through September. Weekends fill quickly. Walk-ins are possible mid-week but don't rely on it. Parking is available on site at the resort.

Food & Drinks at El Chiringuito Puente Romano
The menu is Mediterranean with an Andalusian accent. Grilled fish, rice dishes, and ceviches are the core. The kitchen leans into fresh seafood rather than trying to be ambitious, and that focus pays off.
Cocktails are a big part of the draw. The bar list runs to wines, spirits, and a full cocktail menu. Live music plays during summer evenings, keeping the atmosphere moving without overpowering conversation.
