Exquisite Mediterranean & International Menus

Menus at El Oceano Beachfront Restaurant

Our À la Carte Menu is a mouth-watering selection of only the freshest, especially selected ingredients. Our Head Chef takes pride in his creations and rightly so!  A more relaxing lunch time you could not imagine. Enjoy the full à la carte menu, or choose something from the ‘lite-bites’ lunch menus. Lunch or evening meal, let our menus take you away on a outstanding culinary journey!!

The Ocean Room

Panoramic sea views accompany an exquisite menu.  The perfect beachfront restaurant.

The Ocean Room is the main part of the restaurant, the part you will see as you walk in to the hotel.  Large glass walls look right on to the beach and the Mediterranean sea offering almost panoramic views, which (on appropriate weather days) are fully opened giving an impression of being right on the sea!  A bright and spacious room, the Oceano Room Restaurant is open every day for lunch and dinner.

The Ocean Room is where most dining entertainment takes place, with small stage and dancing area. If you’re joining us for an entertainment evening, this is probably where you’ll be.  Almost every evening is accompanied by one of our fantastic regular entertainers and occasionally, special guests from all over Europe.

You’ll be impressed by our restaurant.  We’re sure of that.  A truly stunning restaurant, an impeccable menu, a fantastic dining entertainment lineup.  Right by the ocean, close to perfection.

The Veranda

An elegant dining room with views of the mountains of North Africa.  The Veranda is a little apart from The Ocean Room, with glass walls giving the impression of hanging over the overlooking the sea. It’s a great place for breakfast!  Right next to the beach, dinner is served each evening in the Veranda Restaurant, a glass enclosed dining room seemingly suspended over the ocean.  The views will take your breath away!

Right on the water, the terrace restaurant is a beautiful place to eat al-fresco.

The Terrace is outside and hosts entertainment during the summer months. But on The Terrace, it’s about the open sea. The Terrace is right on the beach, with private pool, pool bar and most importantly, the beautiful sunny Spanish sky. Perfect.

Where the views will take your breath away, and where lunch by the sea can last forever! Live music is provided every evening at El Oceano, in the Oceano Room and during the summer months on the Water Front Terrace. The hotel’s bar and lounge areas are absolutely sumptuous, where an impressive choice of cocktails, liquors and wines are served by El Oceano’s expert friendly staff.

To help your Menus page serve as a true high-conversion landing page, I’ve written this copy to go beyond a simple list of prices. It paints a picture of the "Dining Experience" while using SEO-friendly terminology like "Beachfront Dining," "À la Carte," and "Fine Dining Mijas Costa."

Our Menus: A Culinary Journey by the Sea

At El Oceano Restaurant, we believe that a menu is a promise. It is a promise of quality, a promise of freshness, and a promise that your time with us will be the highlight of your stay on the Costa del Sol. Our restaurant is not merely a place to eat; it is a landmark of gastronomy where the Mediterranean serves as both our pantry and our backdrop.

Our executive chefs take immense pride in sourcing the finest ingredients, balancing the traditional flavors of Andalusia with contemporary international flair. Whether you are joining us for a sun-drenched lunch or a glamorous evening gala, our menus are designed to excite the senses and satisfy the soul.

The Signature À la Carte Experience

The À la Carte Menu is the flagship of the El Oceano experience. Available for both lunch and dinner, it represents the pinnacle of our culinary ambition. This is a menu for the connoisseur—the diner who appreciates the marriage of artistic presentation and deep, authentic flavor.

To Begin: A Prelude of Freshness

Our starters are designed to awaken the palate. From the delicate, citrus-infused notes of our Marinated Tuna Tataki to the rich, earthy depth of our Manchego Arancini with Truffle Mayo, every small plate is a testament to our commitment to variety. We celebrate our coastal location with a wide array of seafood, including Pan-Seared Scallops and our signature King Prawn Tempura, while also catering to meat lovers with favorites like Pork Belly Bites and Chicken Liver Pâté finished with a Pedro Ximénez gelée.

The Main Event: Land and Sea

When it comes to main courses, the choice is yours between the treasures of the deep and the finest cuts from the land. Our seafood selection often includes Fillet of Seabass, Miso Glazed Salmon, and a Roast Loin of Cod that flakes at the touch of a fork.

For those who prefer the grill, our Prime Galician Beef is legendary. Whether you choose the tender Fillet or the impressive T-Bone Special, your steak is cooked "al gusto" and served with the classic accompaniments that make a meal feel like a celebration. Our "Curry Club" also provides an authentic taste of the East, prepared with traditional spices and served with all the trimmings.

Lunch at the Water’s Edge

Lunch at El Oceano is an institution. When the Spanish sun is high and the Mediterranean is a sparkling sheet of blue, there is no better place to be than our Waterfront Terrace.

Our Lunch Menu offers a slightly lighter approach, perfect for a relaxed afternoon by the pool. You’ll find sophisticated takes on classic favorites, such as our Oceano Club Sandwich and the Kentucky Style Chicken Burger. For those seeking a more traditional Spanish experience, our Prawns Pil-Pil (sizzling in garlic oil) and our Traditional Seafood Paella are perennial favorites.

We understand that a beachfront lunch is often about "The Awesome Afternoon." Our servers are experts at ensuring your meal progresses at a leisurely pace, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and perhaps a few of our specialist Martinis while the waves lap against the shore just feet away.

Three Unique Dining Environments

The beauty of El Oceano is that you can visit us three times and have three entirely different experiences, thanks to our distinct dining areas:

• The Ocean Room: Located adjacent to the Martini Lounge, this room features floor-to-ceiling windows that are often pulled back to let the sea breeze flow through. It feels like being on the deck of a luxury liner.
• The Veranda: A bright, airy space with a white-wood ceiling that offers a sense of being suspended over the ocean. It’s a favorite for those who love a slightly more intimate, "indoor-outdoor" feel.
• The Waterfront Terrace: The ultimate "al fresco" destination. This is where the magic of the Costa del Sol truly comes alive, allowing you to dine under the palm trees with the horizon stretching out before you.

The Martini Lounge & Wine Cellar

A world-class menu requires a world-class beverage selection. Our Martini Lounge is staffed by award-winning mixologists who view cocktail-making as a craft. From the glamour of the Oceano Pornstar Martini to the sophisticated chill of a classic Espresso Martini, our cocktail menu is as varied as it is delicious.

For wine enthusiasts, our cellar is a journey through the best vineyards of Spain and beyond. Our house selections are carefully chosen for their value and quality, while our "Signature" list features prestigious labels from Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and the Champagne region of France. Whether you are looking for a crisp Albariño to pair with your seabass or a bold Vega Sicilia for a special occasion, our sommelier is always on hand to offer expert guidance.

Dietary Requirements & Bespoke Requests

At El Oceano, luxury means that everyone is included. While our printed menus feature a wide variety of dishes, we understand that many of our guests have specific dietary needs.

• Vegetarian & Vegan: We always have creative vegetarian options available, and our chefs are happy to adapt many of our signature dishes to meet vegan requirements.
• Allergies: We take food allergies very seriously. We encourage all guests to inform their server of any sensitivities, and our kitchen team will go above and beyond to ensure your meal is both safe and spectacular.

If you have a specific craving or a dietary concern that isn't addressed on the menu, we simply ask that you "just ask." Our chefs love a challenge, and our goal is to ensure that every guest leaves El Oceano feeling completely satisfied.

Why Our Menus Set the Standard

The secret to our success since our redesign in 2016 has been consistency. We don't follow fads; we follow the seasons. By respecting the quality of the produce and the expectations of our discerning guests, we have created a dining destination that people return to year after year.

In 2026, we continue to push the boundaries of what a beachfront restaurant can be. We are not just serving food; we are creating a "moment." From the first sip of your apéritif in the Martini Lounge to the final bite of a decadent dessert, the El Oceano menu is your passport to the very best of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Make Your Reservation

Because our restaurant is a favorite for both hotel guests and visitors from across the coast, we highly recommend booking your table in advance. Whether it's a romantic dinner for two, a family celebration, or a corporate event, our team is ready to welcome you.
