Pravda Restaurant

Nestling quietly alongside some of the world's most chic clothing retailers, it's hardly surprising to see guests visiting Pravda appearing weighed down with shopping bags. So step inside to explore a world of attractive people and walls embellished with fashionable photographs, then delve into their unique styled menu with a wealth of choices and you might soon realise that this place is more than just a hang out for the über trendy.

During the warm months of the year Pravda opens its marina facing terrace for dining and weary customers can enjoy the vibrant environment, the exciting views of the bustling port and get a second wind before heading home. Inside it is all crisp and bright, with black chairs, creamy white sofas and big mirrors, creating a plausibly elegant yet comfortable setting.

A palpable sense of uncomplicated cooking with a global theme defines the regularly amended bill of fare. Although several new dishes make their presence felt, their famous signature dishes remain and evokes nostalgia amongst their regular patrons. It's probably this kind of flexibility and attention to detail that makes this place so appealing.

Lobster cocktail with diced mango and honey truffle dressing; fresh oysters on ice, and spicy coconut soup with lemongrass can awaken the most jaded taste buds. Main courses of beef entrecôte with French fries and mushroom pepper sauce; glazed rack of lamb with arocalapa mashed potato, and seared tuna with shiitake fried rolls and salad with ginger dressing exemplify some robust cooking.

Choose between the vodka marinated raspberry with vanilla ice cream and almond crème brûlée with custard, topped with caramelised sugar before saying 'adios'. The drinks list is home to some full bodied wines such as Miguel Merino Unnum, Bikandi reserve and Mirto in addition to some fine champagne.

Eclectic is an often used expression to define global cuisine but at Pravda it is truly merited as a description of their food as you could select a country for each course and relish their culinary delights. Puerto Banus is home to some prestigious luxury yachts and cruisers, and Pravda has added a further touch of glamour.
