Grill at the Marbella Club
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where Mediterranean tradition meets grilling artistry, Grill at the Marbella Club + Marbella elevates coastal cuisine through generations of culinary mastery within the legendary Marbella Club Hotel's garden sanctuary along Spain's Golden Mile.
The restaurant's heritage runs as deep as its flavors, anchored by the remarkable story of the Roque family. For over 25 years, grillmaster Roque Jr. has continued his father's legacy—the original grillmaster of Marbella Club who honored his Argentine roots in traditional gaucho attire. Using the same cutting board and family knives passed down through generations, this second-generation craftsman represents an unbroken chain of grilling excellence that defines Marbella fine dining. The restaurant has earned prestigious recognition including TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice award, cementing its position among the best restaurants Marbella offers.
The cuisine celebrates Mediterranean gastronomy through expert grilling techniques over ceramic-covered charcoal embers. Signature offerings showcase premium Chateaubriand beef, succulent lamb chops, and perfectly grilled fresh fish enhanced with regional herbs. Seasonal vegetables—tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, and artichokes—receive the same meticulous attention, while creative vegetarian options ensure every palate finds satisfaction. The menu structure balances à la carte selections with seasonal specialties, sourcing the finest local ingredients to maintain authentic Mediterranean flavors. This represents fine dining at its most refined, where traditional recipes meet contemporary presentation.
The experience unfolds within a sophisticated 1970s-inspired atmosphere featuring warm earth tones, soft candlelight, and elegant table settings. The spacious main dining room flows seamlessly to an enchanting outdoor terrace surrounded by towering pines and Mediterranean flora, creating an intimate setting perfect for romantic evenings and special celebrations. Legendary silver service defines the hospitality approach, with attentive staff providing expert guidance through menu selections and wine pairings. The extensive wine cellar houses a global collection curated to complement the grilled specialties, while nearby Rudi's bar offers pre- and post-dinner cocktails in an old-school setting. Smart casual dress code applies, with reservations essential for this sought-after destination.
Grill at the Marbella Club represents the pinnacle of Mediterranean grilling tradition, where family heritage meets luxury hospitality. Reservations should be secured well in advance, particularly for terrace seating during Marbella's golden hour. This is where discerning diners discover why generations have chosen this garden sanctuary for their most memorable celebrations.
