Arco Tapas Bar, Marbella

Address: C. Peral, 14, 29660 Marbella, Málaga

Arco Tapas Bar brings serious flavor to the heart of Marbella Old Town, where whitewashed walls and orange trees set the scene for one of the city’s best modern tapas spots. It blends the charm of a classic Andalusian taberna with the edge of a chef-driven kitchen. The result? A fresh, elevated take on small plates that still feels totally local.

This place earns its reputation dish by dish—standouts like seared tuna with wasabi aioli, Iberian pork cheeks, or truffle-infused tortilla flip the script without losing the roots. Each tapa is plated with care, but there’s no pretension here—just bold flavor, smart pairings, and great energy. For anyone searching for the best tapas in Marbella, Arco delivers the full package.
