Start Planning Your Dream Wedding

When you're in Gibraltar, whether it's for your wedding day or just a visit, navigating the dining scene can be a bit overwhelming with so many options to choose from. With 178 restaurants and eateries in Gibraltar, it's easy to get lost in the choices, especially with unreliable reviews on platforms like TripAdvisor. That's why the team at Hour Weddings Gibraltar has curated a shortlist of their favourite dining spots. We hope you'll enjoy these places as much as we do:

1. My Wines Terrace, Chatham Counterguard

- My Wines' rooftop terrace boasts breathtaking views of the iconic Rock of Gibraltar. Whether you visit in summer with live music or during the quieter months, the ambiance is always buzzing. They offer an excellent wine selection and a perfect setting for a romantic date night. Don't miss their 50/50 platter, which includes local Spanish ham, cheese, wonton jalapeños, and grandma's meatballs. It's a fun, lively spot with delicious food.

2. Vault 13, Chatham Counterguard

- If you're in the mood for Asian fusion cuisine, Vault 13 is the place to be. Will and his team have crafted an incredible menu in their Chatham vault. While their premium steaks are fantastic, the salt and pepper ribs and spicy Asian prawns steal the show. It's another vibrant restaurant with exceptional food.

3. Raj Curry House, Queensway

- Who doesn't love a good curry? At Raj Curry House, while the decor might need a little sprucing up, their curries are top-notch. They use traditional Indian cooking methods to prepare some mouthwatering Indian dishes and naans. It's especially lovely to dine here on a sunny day, and booking a table outside is a great idea.

4. Monte y Mar, Ocean Village

- For an upscale dining experience, head to Monte y Mar in Ocean Village. They serve premium steaks and some of the finest fish and seafood in Gibraltar. Despite being small and quaint, the service is excellent, and their wine selection is top-tier. Be sure to try their daily specials, featuring locally caught seafood that very morning.
