El Bistro La Manga Club
A family Restaurant
It is the longest established, family run restaurant on La Manga Club, founded by Miguel Betés, owned and operated by the Betés family since 1988, and is probably one of a very few venues on site that can boast Felipe VI, the King of Spain, having been a customer.

El Bistro La Manga Club is the perfect place to enjoy some traditional Spanish tapas or a lunchtime snack from our varied menus from which you can order breakfast, brunch, a snack or lunch. Or you may just prefer a cup of coffee made from a gourmet blend provided by one of the premier coffee suppliers in Spain and enjoy the relaxed vibe we offer.
Later in the day the informal evening selection takes advantage of local and national produce and offers international dishes whilst retaining a Spanish twist with a host of nibbles, starters & sharing dishes, allowing you to dine as formally or informally as you wish with friends & family. Our food is cooked-to-order by the long standing kitchen team offering beautifully prepared fresh produce. To complete your meal we offer a varied wine selection, listing wines from many of Spain’s regions, regularly updated.

Our family
El Bistro was bought by the Betés family in 1988 and the original owners, Miguel & Judy, are fondly remembered along with Mario. All are sadly missed. Their spirits are ever present and they are often remembered by many. Take a peek at our gallery of photos with some “blasts from the past” & "hopes of the future".
