Restaurante El Guarda 1926
A village institution for honest Andalusian cooking
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
On Benahavís' Plaza de España, El Guarda 1926 trades on real heritage, serving the village its traditional Spanish and Andalusian plates with a light contemporary hand. Grilled meats, fresh fish and the regional standards come without pretension, backed by a serious wine list and a terrace on the square. It is the kind of dependable village table that keeps Benahavís deserving of its 'dining room of the Costa del Sol' tag.
Editor's Tip
Aim for the terrace on the plaza and lean into the grill and the wine list. A genuine local favourite, not a coach-tour stop.
