Casanis

Atmosphere, autenticity and warmth!
What a lovely restaurant in old town Marbella. Packed by locals and travellers all wanting to have a bite of the amazing french oriented kitchen. The staff is friendly, passionate and very competent. The restaurant is swamped with wallpaintings of Hergés famous characters from Tintin, which only adds to the atmosphere of a family restaurant where everybody will feel welcome and tended to. As for the most important part; the food — well, it’s an A+. Wow, everything was prepared to perfection, well seasoned and an absolute delight for your palate. The only thing missing, was my appetite. I would have loved a dessert, but could unfortunately get another bite down after the most amazing starter (rock fish soup) and beautiful entrée (codfish).
The place is packed, no matter time or season, so be sure to make reservations ahead.
And to you with children og just a childish heart: every table is equipped with crayons to keep your little ones (or yourself) occupied in a creative and fun manor.

An authentic restaurant that serves very good quality food. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is good. A few more vegetarian options would be nice.

Trying to find a good restaurant in Marbella’s old centre is not an easy task. There are plenty of restaurants but all are overly touristy, with all the same dishes on their menus.
The outdoor terrace of Restaurant Casanis looked attractive and the menu looked different. We were lucky to have the last available table.
Much to my surprise there were ‘croquetas belga’ and ‘vol au vent’ on the menu. A Belgian restaurant in Marbella? The shrimp croquettes were perfect, so were the French fries that my husband had with his Argentinian sirloin. I had the baked turbot that was delicious. I told the waiter that the fries were just as they were at home in Belgium. Well, he said, our chef is from Belgium!
Prices are higher than in the other restaurants, but the quality was perfect and it was something different at last.
Friendly and handsome waiters, good atmosphere.
