La Perla

We visited today with our two tiny dogs. The new management is very friendly. We were made very welcome, I have to follow a strict Gluten Free diet and the menu was very clearly designed for all food intolerances. The food we had was excellent, the house wine is great and reasonably priced. I then had Pistachios cake, a rare treat for the gluten free! It was delicious. It’s a lovely restaurant and if you visited before, give this new team a chance.

DISCLAIMER: The photos attached to this review is for the former Aüa, not La Perla. Since the changeover to La Perla, they’ve moved the seating and the whole original patio and completely ruined what used to be an amazing space. It looks nothing like the photos I’ve uploaded anymore. What used to be a lovely spot with morning light and a gorgeous wind protected sea view has been relocated to a hidden corner. It was the perfect place for a morning or afternoon coffee, but they completely killed an epic spot that had the only seaview like it on the golden mile. It’s not clear why they opted to build a whole patio that already existed. It’s so impractical they could have left it. AÜA: Nice spot along the sea wall to have a bite or tan. There is limited beds compared to all the other beach bars so it feels cosier and more relaxed. I like coming here to get away from the craziness of Puerto Banus. Service is great and the space is gorgeous. November 2023: As of last month they are opened on their gorgeous sunny patio for breakfast! (Even Sunday). Good prices, especiallyyyy for the Golden Mile. Diverse menu. Yogurt, Chia, Açai Bowls, juices, eggs, pancakes and also gluten free, lactose free, healthy options.
