About Ruskins

The moment a table is settled, the subtle hum of conversation and soft lighting creates an inviting yet unpretentious environment that encourages lingering over a meal. The Ruskins restaurant manages to balance a contemporary vibe with hints of local charm, making it a spot that feels equally suitable for a casual lunch or a more deliberate dinner experience. Patrons curious about the ambiance often find complementary glimpses in various Ruskins photos shared online, where the decor's relaxed elegance is consistently highlighted without overwhelming the dining area.

Exploring the Ruskins menu reveals a thoughtful selection that leans heavily on freshness and regional influences but avoids the predictable trap of over-familiar dishes. While some of the specials show a creative twist, a few plates could benefit from a bit more boldness to fully live up to the promising descriptions that often appear in Ruskins reviews. The service, attentive without being intrusive, plays a notable role in maintaining a rhythm that neither rushes nor drags the dining experience, allowing flavors and conversations to unfold with natural ease.

Value for money at this establishment reflects a fair positioning within the local dining scene, where quality ingredients meet careful preparation without excessive pricing. Occasional wait times for food can vary, suggesting moments of busyness that might affect pacing but rarely detract from overall satisfaction. While the location on Av. del Mediterraneo, s/n, 29780 Nerja, Malaga, Spain, makes it accessible for visitors and locals alike, those consulting online reviews often emphasize consistency and atmosphere as deciding factors, indicating a dependable option among Nerja’s eclectic culinary offerings.

A delicious vegan Sunday lunch. The vegetables were al dente, the mash was creamy, the roasties were well cooked, and the nut roast was delicious and perfectly seasoned. They even had vegan gravy. The only things that could improve the experience are the addition of a vegan Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese, which would be easy to do, and a dessert option that's suitable for vegans, which would also be really easy. There are a few vegan options on the menu, including a cooked breakfast. They also do oat milk and almond milk for hot drinks.

A good find! Nice cosy café offering a very decent tasty vegetarian or vegan breakfast with Quorn sausages. Service was quick and the café is tops for cleanliness. They also do daily traditional Fish & Chips (or Scampi) with a special offer on a Friday. Dine in or on the terrace. Ruskin's is easy to located as it is opposite the RIU hotel.

You can take the Irish couple out of Ireland, but we'll still look for a big breakfast. Ruskin's did not disappoint - the food was top quality and a generous portion. When I asked for the large breakfast without tomatoes or mushrooms they offered me a substitution for each item, so I had an extra egg and an extra piece of bacon. The food was delivered quickly and was hot (not luke warm) and the waitress was very friendly. Nice atmosphere and excellent value for money at €20 for 2 large breakfasts, 2 beers, and a coffee. Would highly recommend

I really, really love Ruskins. Food is great, drinks are fabulous, prices are awesome, service is exemplary. But all of those (important) points aside, more than anything the staff are truly wonderful, lovely, attentive, friendly and so welcoming. My mother unfortunately has dementia but the servers couldn't be anymore kind and accommodating. Seriously. Especially Catherine and Jaydin/Jaydean/Jaydeen?!! (I'm sorry chica, my spelling sucks!!!) It really feels like a home from home (and, this may make me sound like a weirdo, but the bathrooms are immaculate.... says a lot about a restaurant IMO) If you're in Nerja definitely stop by, even if just for a few drinks -- or the ab fab Sunday roast.... and yeah, I know, British food in every Spain, but, hey now and then it's no biggie, especially when an establishment so deserves the patronage. Max.xx (OH! and fab selection of veggie, vegan, gluten-free etc. etc)

The service has greatly improved since we last went a few months ago. This time the waitress was courteous and polite. The Sunday roast lamb is one of the best we’ve had in Nerja. Let’s hope the good service continues as this can determine if a customer returns or tries elsewhere.

THE BEST Sunday roast and plenty of it. Perfectly cooked meat, so tender, and vegetables fresh and delicious. As for the mashed potatoes YUM!!!!! Roast potatoes crispy on the outside, fluffy inside and the gravy I could eat on its own ! Yep! A big thumbs up from me……. But shhh….. don’t tell everyone, as I want to be able to get a table next time Oh, did I mention the mashed potatoes?! So I did!! But they were too good to mention just once
