The Forge

IT is over two decades since Michael Forge and his wife Athene set up this stunning restaurant in the hills near Casares. The terrace, surrounded by trees and with great views, is THE place to be seen around these parts, particularly on Sunday, when in summer you need to book up to three weeks in advance.

You will be amazed at the style and colours inside, while the food is a great mix of a la carte and a good value set menu on weekends. With regular diners including Cecil Parkinson, Timothy Christopher, the Forge is certainly one of the true dining secrets of Andalucia.
