    This restaurant is more about its famous owner than the food. Antonio Banderas, a native of Málaga,…read moreis rumored to own the restaurant and live in the condominium adjacent to its patio dining area. People come in the hope of sighting this celebrity, crowding the restaurant at all hours and overwhelming its staff. Our server pointed us to a QR code on the cocktail menu so we could look up what's on offer. This menu gave ONLY the names of the dishes on offer, WITHOUT any description of the dish or its sides. Nor did the server have the time to describe them to us. Service was a 2, at best, while the food was a 3. If you're looking for good food and good service, there are plenty of other options in Málaga. If you choose a place to eat on the off chance you will see a movie star, this is the place for you.

    I walked past this place on June 29, 2026 and it was bustling with activity. It looks like a very…read moregood authentic place for very good Spanish food. The place is actually very nice on the inside with barrels of liquor and old bullfighting posters. I was seated upstairs and tended to by a waiter with glasses who took me to my table threw the menu down and without saying a word walked away. Right off the back he had a bad attitude and didn't explain that you need to scan the QR code to see the food menu. I don't know if he heard me speaking English. I had never seen this guy before entering this restaurant. After a long while he returned to my table and asked if I would like something to drink. After reviewing the drink menu I asked if they carry sherry (Jerez). There was no sherry listed on the menu? This set him off and he went on a rant about how I need to be more specific because there is various sherries. Yes, I am very familiar with the various types of sherry but made a simple statement that none are listed on the drink menu!?! I'm thinking, the hell with the sherry and his atitude just bring me a glass of verdejoI never raised my voice or anything, but he did, as if I'm a problem. He takes his time returning to my table to take my order, but finally does. Okay, at this point I'm noticing everyone around me that came after me was being served their food!?! I don't know if he purposely put in my order late? Nothing I ordered needed to be cooked. I ordered cheese, bread, olives, and jamon. After waiting long while, I flag him down to see if there is some sort of problem in the kitchen. He answers me with a bad attitude and walked away still talking in this huge dining area where everyone is talking. There was no way I was going to be able to hear what he was saying as he answered walking away. Okay, once again I am waiting and now I am starting to become a little angry because obviously he has a problem with me. So once again I flag him down and let him know that he is walking away from me as he answers my questions therefore I cannot understand anything he is saying. Well this time he said that locals talk fast which is why I can't understand him! Little did he know that I am very fluent in Spanish and have never had a problem understanding anyone speaking to me in Spanish!?! At this point, I started to see red and began to raise my voice and create a seen because he insulted me and blamed me for not understanding him. This person (OP. Isidro) should not be working in any restaurant insulting people he has never met before. At this point, I just wanted the bill to pay and leave. As a result, I cannot recommend anyone stopping by this place and having the same experience that I had.

    A great experience. I knew it would be good, but it was even better than expected. The service…read morewas prompt and professional. We were a large group of 6, and the server helped us with the menu, provided recommendation, and ensured that we did not over order. I am new to these flavors and cuisine. Can;t really rate it objectively, but I am certain that it is delicious. We were tired of tapas, and this was perfect to rejuvenate our taste buds.

    This place was really good. We arrived a little before opening, and, to our surprise, they opened…read moreright on time - not necessarily a given post siesta! Upon arrival we were welcomed by the friendly host and seated right away. The tables are these cute booth style seating. While very cute, they're also very tight - really designed for two people. I sat next to my young kiddo and we both found it somewhat uncomfortable. The seats are also quite shallow which made me feel like I was sitting at the end of my seat (I'm an average height guy ~6 ft). The restaurant was beautiful and felt like you had stepped into an old Moroccan bazaar. Really great balance of tradition and culture without being too tacky. After asking a few questions about the menu to manage dietary restrictions, we landed on the humus, babaganoush, chicken tagine and chicken couscous. Both the hummus and babaganoush were served with a pita bread. They were both solid. Flavors were on point. My one observation, and this could be due to Moroccan preparation, was the hummus was a bit thinner than most hummus. So while flavor was great consistency was a bit off to me. The main dishes were both wonderful. The chicken tagine was a generous portion, great for sharing. Two chicken drumsticks with a ton of veggies and fruits cooked to perfection that the meat fell off the bones. The sauce was tasty and well spiced. The couscous was similarly generous two drum sticks buried under a mountain of couscous and topped with a selection of root veggies and accompanied by a side of "salsa" aka chicken broth.

    After having read some reviews, I made reservations for a special dinner here with friends. We came…read morewhen they opened at 8 PM, and since that doesn't align with the typical Spanish dinner schedule, we had the place all to ourselves. First of all, the views. While it is a bit of a drive and it feels like you're going up into the mountains to get here, it is well worth it. The hotel did a great job of laying out the restaurant so that the views are unforgettable. Our funny and friendly server offered recommendations and kept us smiling throughout the evening. Throughout the evening, it felt like she was an old friend we had know. For years. Menus were available in Spanish and English. Other servers would also appear to sweep away finished plates. I ordered the lamb shoulder (#weakness for lamb) and it was delicious, tender, and was the first dish on this particular trip that made me do my happy food dance. Yes, I have a dance, or more like a happy food shimmy. I tried a bit of my friend's duck, which was also lovely, especially the sauce. We shared the pineapple dessert, which was an atypical preparation that I really enjoyed. The sauce was a nice touch. I would totally go back to Amador again!

    The restaurant is located at the Villa Guadalupe hotel and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. I…read morehad multiple meals here over my two night stay and loved it. The brother of the owner is the chef here and serves Spanish cuisine and also modern European food. The menu has plenty of choice and upon request something vegetarian can also be organized. They were quite flexible and more than happy to accommodate requests. I had the classic sardines on toast, a typical Andalucían dish and it was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth and the black paella with prawn and squid was also fabulous. We had finger food lunch twice and it was also very good. Lots of gazpachos, hot soups, tapas and mini burgers. Dessert was nice and the wine list small but excellent and very well priced. Good service, English speaking staff and nice means made for a very pleasant experience and I really enjoyed it. Happily come here for a meal anytime.
