Marbella´s Paseo Maritime has gained a fantastic new addition to its plethora of restaurants, the innovative and tantalising Toro Burger Lounge.
On the first month of opening, Toro had already achieved its first prize. Their house burger “Toro Burger” (the double one – be warned its massive!) was mentioned by the most famous Web Channel in Brazil calling it “The Perfect Burger.”
Toro Burger Lounge, designed by the architects Ana Salinero and Pedro Ayora, has a really relaxed, chilled vibe about it. As well as fantastic food there is a great cocktail, smoothie and milkshake selection to choose from. On arrival our testers clocked an impressive chilli based cocktail on their Toro TV Channel which they were invited to try. Made with Toro´s exclusive Aperol, Malibu, Sprite and Cayenne Pepper and decorated with a whole chilli, it was refreshing and had a real kick about it but luckily not too spicy. Our other tester opted for Toro´s Summer Limonade which contained cava, lime ice-cream and honey. Sweet yet not too creamy it was definitely an impressive drink and one to cross off your tried and tested cocktail list!
Next onto the food, which we were dying to sample. Toro serves up the finest 100% Gallician burgers and there is a huge range of 14 burgers to choose from – which have been given famous city or landmark names. Our testers tucked into the London Eye which has a black burger bun, crispy bacon, tomato and a blue cheese sauce. The burger was cooked to perfection and there was lashings of sauce and although the burger was black (dyed by squid ink apparently) it tasted gorgeous. A trip to Toro Burger Lounge would not be complete without testing the stacked house special Toro Burger. Laden with two 200 gram burgers in a red bun, double Edam cheese, double Chedder cheese, bacon, pickles, ketchup, onion rings and homemade mayonnaise, it is definitely not for the faint hearted. Our tester said it tasted amazing but could not completely finish the impressive dish.
If you don´t fancy the burger menu there is a huge range of other dishes to sample. From Kentucky Wings to Nachos and Gouda Fingers there is something to suit every tastebud. Plus there also are 5 salads to try from the refreshing Tropical with lettuce, yoghurt sauce, cherry tomatoes, cheese splinters and strawberries to Toro´s Cervice (also their speciality) with fresh white fish, shrimps, octopus marinated in authentic “tiger milk” with onion, jalapenos, and tomatoes – you will not be disappointed with this varied and interesting menu selection.
As well as fabulous food and signature cocktails, you can listen to good music (a play every Friday and a live DJ every Sunday sunset), you can also watch blockbuster movies, football championships and enjoy the beautiful view of Marbella’s sea from the terrace.
