"Best brunch ever in the whole of Estepona! If you're looking for options from sweet to salty, as well as a healthy breakfast, this is the place. We've tried several other restaurants/cafes for brunch and this one has the most options available. Everything was absolutely amazing. The place has beautiful views of the beach and the service is great. We ordered the Dutch egg dish with ham and cheese ("Uitsmitjer"), the toast with scrambled + avocado, and the American pancakes with banana, strawberries and blueberries (a big plus, they have the real Mississippi Belle syrup for the pancakes!!! ). Another huge plus is that they have English Breakfast with hash browns (these are very hard to come by in Spain). We would definitely recommend Sem's to anyone visiting Estepona!!"

"Very friendly owners, with good advice about dishes. The location is more than stunning, most of all if you have little children - no cars, lots of room around, the seaside with the sand to play. The food with no flaws, and the prices are fantastic for this location. Definitely I've found a restaurant in Estepona to come back with all family, because it fits to my main criteria: safety, play space, tasty beautiful food, reasonable price."

"This is a gem of a place. A lucky find. Excellent service from a lady server. Food was absolutely delicious and fresh, and it was compliments to the chef. I had the Spanish breakfast, and as I don't eat meat, I substituted the Spanish ham for an egg. Good coffee and fresh juice. Lots of outside seating where you can see the beach. I can't recommend this place enough. All tables were full, and I'm not surprised, we managed to get a table from someone who had finished and was just leaving. Good value for money aswell."

"We had the Sandwich Mixto, Catalan and Chicken Special - I was surprised about the Joghurt dressing and was offered new bread immediately. Poffertjes as a dessert were awesome."

"Very cozy cafe in a perfect spot right on the promenade next to the beach with amazing views. I have been here a few times for an enjoyable breakfast but today we shared one of their Tapas plank Luxe which was great value and very tasty. There is one toilet shared amongst other businesses so you need to ask for the key and walk a short distance to the toilet, not a real issue but I took off a point for that. Servers were excellent and very friendly."
