Why do we recommend D.O.Mar by Óscar Velasco?
D.O. is easily one of the top gastronomic experiences you can have in the vecinity of Marbella. The restaurant is located right on the beach and the dimly lit and elegant dinning roon looks out onto the mediterranean sea. Chef Oscar Velasco offers a menu filled with southern spanish classics, where the preparation and the presentation is meticulously cared for. Only seasonal and local ingredients are used in the kitchen. The highlight is the seafood, but, there are several wild game dishes that are equally impressice. Sumiller, David Robledo, has created an impressive wine list as well to perfectly pair with the offerings from the kitchen. The excellent food and the spectacular views make D.O. Mar a must.
