Should you feel an American moment coming on, get straight into the mood at TGI Friday's in Marbella. Their food is fresh, the portions generous and the cocktail list exhaustive. The menus do vary from one restaurant to another, but the essential message stays the same.

Appetizers could include chicken wings coated in Jack Daniel's sweet 'n' smoky glaze, or spinach and artichoke hearts served with crisp corn tortillas. The steaks top out with a 12oz rib eye. A range of burgers, ribs, fish, sandwiches, fajitas, salads and pasta embraces virtually every known twist in the repertoire of American cuisine. For a group assault try the Times Square big share.

Chocolate fudge fixation perhaps sums up best, the TGI approach to desserts. Cocktails such as the Long Island Iced Tea, vodka, gin, rum and orange liqueur, topped up with Coke, spin and pour; make up a list of over 500 cocktails. As with all cocktails you can choose between regular or ultimate, no questions asked. Beer, wine and soft drinks cover enormous range and they also offer good coffee.
