We had a really nice Christmas dinner at Sollun. We picked the 5 course set menu "sol" with wine pairing. Nice atmosphere, good service. Food was very good, but not mind-blowing. Good price/quality though! Favorite course was the deer, paired with a cab sav from the North of Spain.

I'd give the food six stars if I could, it was that good.

If you want to treat yourself in Nerja, this is the place I'd recommend. We tried a few of other higher end places to break up the tapas meals, but this was by far the best food and drink options.

We had the 'short' tasting menu (sol) which includes 4 servings plus  bread, olive oil and amuse bouche and the wine tasting menu that goes with it (70 € altogether, the long (lun) menu is around 30 € more per person). We had horse mackerel tartar, tuna fish, venison and a dark chocolate ice cream with coffee and rhum (all four servings actually had a host of other ingredients which I forget). Everything was exquisite and the service impeccable with a very competent and helpful waiter. Same high level as La Oliva across the plaza and definitely to be recommended.

Overall, food was excellent but the service let it down. I read a previous review straight after dining and it was if the reviewer had dined with us - it described our experience exactly.

Food wise, the Iberian pork was exquisite. Wine pairings explained and complemented food perfectly.

Issue was service, although I suspect it was due to getting all the tables that arrived at different times on to the same service cycles. Unfortunately this meant we had to wait 1 hour before we were served the first course (after bread) and first wine pairing.

It's a shame - should be an overall 5 star experience!

My sister booked a table for us at Sollun. It was our first time there. The staff were super nice and friendly, they’re good with kids too. We looked through the menu and our waiter was more than helpful suggesting dishes and explaining everything. First the amuse-bouche was cream cheese cones with mackerel and crispy onion. The presentation as well as the taste were amazing. Later for our appetizers, we ordered beef tartare and scallops. They divided it into four portions for us (we were four). My sister ordered the pigeon in orange glaze something and she absolutely loved it. As for me and her kids, we all ordered the steak. Again the kids shared a dish, but the chef prepared it seoerately as of it was a single order, cutting the steak in half with all the garnish and sides. My steak was cooked to perfection! The chefs comes in with the staff to hand the dishes himself and to give mini explanations. For dessert we ordered the Lemon meringue dish, which is similar to deconstructed lemon pie, and the passion fruit one! Both were amazing, specially the passion fruit one! Definitely recommending it to friends and hopefully will be back there soon on my next trips to Nerja
