2 Best Restaurants in Gibraltar

Enjoying an ace position with a sprawling terrace on Casemates Square, this place specializes in Mediterranean cuisine. Daily specials might include seafood risotto; char-grilled chili and garlic squid; or penne with roast chicken, mushroom, and pancetta. The interior is edgily modern. Across the square is the Solo Express branch, which specializes in tasty takeout wraps and similar choices.

Easily distinguished by its flags and located right at Queensway Quay, this restaurant is a favorite with locals, especially for the Sunday Carvery. It was refurbished in 2014; navy and white are the colors that predominate among the cane furniture and the various Mediterranean touches. In addition to the upstairs and downstairs dining inside, there's also a generous terrace and several tables that sit perched on the quay, allowing for views over the marina and to the mountains in Spain. The menu is distinctly international, with à la carte specialties such as steaks (they're aged on the premises), and British staples such as bangers and mash (sausages with mashed potatoes and onion gravy). Service is efficient and comes with a smile.
