  4. C

    Terrace Restaurant

    This casual beachfront restaurant at the Hurricane Hotel is good for an economical lunch (various salads, hamburgers, chicken, local fish, steaks). In the evenings the hotel's interior restaurant, with candle-lit tables by the pool in summer, prepares creative meals, including very good salads (try the Italian salad), and main dishes such as lamb chops with garlic and rosemary.

  7. Bamboo

    The best of both worlds on the Alameda, Bamboo does great breakfasts plus shakes and smoothies in the morning, and hosts cocktails, music and DJs at night. Decor is Tarifa eclectic (sofas and pouffes) and clientele is surfer cool.
