Thai Thapa

Estepona


Somehow you expect to pay more at a place in this front-line position overlooking the harbour, but the dishes here are reasonably priced and authentic: there are fragrant curries and soups with just enough chilli to provoke a sweat. The menú del día (daily set-lunch menu) includes two courses and rice, and there's plenty of choice for fussy families.
