2 Best Restaurants in Gibraltar

Aquaterra

$$

The menu at this local favorite includes a big nod to Andalusia across the border with its Iberian ham and cheese boards, croquettes, and garlicky clams. But there are also Mediterranean and fusion dishes such as duck magret with Cumberland sauce and several varieties of bao. Portions are generous, so pace your order and don't forget to partake in at least one of the house cocktails, served in funky mugs. The restaurant is small with uninspiring decor inside—although you may not notice because you'll be focusing on the food—but if you fancy a street view, sit outside on the pleasant terrace.  

Café Solo

$

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.
