One of the tastiest Thai and Sushi restaurants on the coast. You can´t beat Bamboo´s Tempura Prawns with a sweet sticky glaze – they are the best our reviewers have tried in over 6 years of living in Marbella. The prawns are large and tempura batter so light, fluffy yet crunchy – they literally melt in your mouth. Devine.
Besides the prawns, one of the greatest things about Bamboo is its incredibly diverse menu incorporating the best of Thai, Japanese and Lebanese cuisine. There is literally something for everyone on this extraordinary menu.
The Thai Red Curry is a must try, laden with tender chunks of chicken and a tangy but not too spicy sauce with diced, fresh vegetables. The Chicken Satay with Peanut Dipping Sauce is a great option and if you order a selection of Thai Appetisers it makes an interesting selection to pick and share with a group of friends. The Salted Edamame and Gyoza in prawn, chicken or vegetable with soy dipping sauce are superb too.
Another plus for this Marbella gem is that it employs various chefs for each different cuisine. The head sushi chef, Pietro, has a great reputation for being one of the best on the Costa del Sol, having worked at Fashion Sushi in Marbella and London.
He highly recommends the Steak Tetaki or the Sushi Jumbo Roll, which has tempura prawns, salmon, tuna, wakame, cucumber and cream cheese is a firm favourite. Plus, the Salmon Deluxe with salmon, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber is another must try. Bamboo has also just introduced new rolls with tomato, carrot and ginger paper for a twist on your normal sushi classics.
If you fancy ordering from the Lebanese menu, the Kibbeh and Hummus are always popular or the Hamburgers on the lunchtime menu are a favourite among guests.
Bamboo has standed the test of time with 8 years on the coast now, thanks to its ability to move with the times and consistently adding new events and delectable dishes to its menu.
This year alone Bamboo has introduced Deep Sushi Parties every Saturday night where the best house DJ´s play deep house music to guests who are encouraged to stay and enjoy the party atmosphere.
The restaurant also hosts regular fashion shows by top Marbella brands including Eline Collection, which is a Spanish based brand designed by the stunning Bamboo owner, Eline Keijer Aboutaka.
The brand even has an on site boutique which showcases the latest collection of cashmere pashminas, scarves and handbags in beautiful dark wood mahogany cabinets.
There are also regular live singing acts and a host of celebrity guests, including sports stars, footballers, singers and DJ´s. It may help the restaurant is located a stone´s throw from the fabulous Olivia Valere Nightclub opposite the Puente Romano Beach Club. Another great reason to come here if you´re looking for a good meal out with friends before hitting the town. Location, location, location! Plus there´s free parking just outside the restaurant.
In summary, if you haven´t been to Bamboo it can be safely said you are missing out! The ambience, service, décor, food – not to mention those tempura prawns again – are fantastic. Be sure to pay a visit.
