BENAHAVÍS · BESIDE LA ZAGALETA

Where Luxury
Meets Landscape

cooking, a roof terrace built for sunset, and live music on the weekend
moments from home, worlds from the ordinary.

THE ESSENCE OF COTO

Ten minutes from home.
A world away from the everyday.

Coto sits on the Ronda road, between the two gates of La Zagaleta, facing El Madroñal, with the hills falling away to the sea, arguably the most valuable restaurant address in the Marbella hills. It’s the kind of proximity most restaurants can’t claim, which is why our regulars call it “the local,” even though the view could belong to a five-star resort.

 

Under Chef Patron Clive Rogers, the kitchen builds modern Mediterranean plates from what the coast and the hills give up each morning, nothing flown in for effect, nothing on the plate that isn’t earning its palace.

CULINARY EX CELLENCE

Cooking that answers to the season, not the trend

Cooking that answers
to the season,
not the trend

We build the menu around what’s good this week — market fish,
hand-selected cuts, produce sourced close to home — plated with
intent rather than spectacle. It’s food that tastes like where it’s from.

    CHEF P ATRON

    Meet Clive Rogers

    Clive rebuilt this building from the ground up — literally: two years of planning with local architect Juan Salvador Shvartzberg before a single wall came down. What he kept was the site’s real asset, the view. What he built around it is a kitchen and a team that treat the location as a responsibility, not a backdrop.

    See Coto for Yourself

    The golden hour on the terrace. The plates as they leave
    the pass. The room at full flight on a Saturday night. A
    look at what’s waiting for you in the hills.
