We ordered: -porra with quail egg: this was very similar to gazpacho (which I love) so I automatically loved this -anchovies with guacamole: I'm not a big fan of anchovies but my boyfriend is and he really liked this dish -octopus: delicious! -squid with crispy black rice: this was my favorite dish, the squid was so flavorful and went perfectly with the crispy rice -sea bream: also delicious, loved the eggplant and goat cheese sauce that came with it -boar stew: I'm not a big fan of stews, but I can tell that it was cooked well You honestly can't go wrong with any of the tapas. Highly recommend!

We got: Pulpo en salpicon - More like a salad, with diced tomatoes and onions, and we only found like 2 pieces of octopus in the entire dish. Although ignoring the fact that we signed up for octopus, I liked the flavors and found it quite refreshing. Sardines - Good, fairly standard. Bacalao (cod) al pil pil - This came highly recommended by the friendly local at the neighboring table. It's a pretty large dish, coming with two sizeable pieces of cod. I wasn't a huge fan of the dish, but not because of the execution, but because it's not to my palette. But I could find no fault with the dish - this was perhaps one of the most tender cods I've ever had and served as an excellent vessel for the pil pil sauce. Pil pil sauce turned out to be more of a creamier (and salty) white sauce, and I don't tend to like those sauces - but if you do, this may be your jam. All in all, nothing we had that I found astounding but not a bad meal. Prices did seem higher than in other cities (€3 for an oyster) but not sure if that's Malaga or this restaurant. Note: they offer free profiteroles at the end, though you may have to ask for them if they don't give them to you.

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.

First, the restaurant is small from the outside. Seriously, you need to use a gps to find the entrance but once you do and walk inside you'll be treated to a an interior that is welcoming and comfortable. The food is great, from the patata bravas, the goat cheese salad and salmon, all dishes are delicious. Haven't had a bad dish at all. Wine selection is fairly comprehensive but hey, this is Spain after all so that's expected. Try any of the local Malaga wines and you won't be disappointed. Service is great and friendly. Carolina is an awesome server so definitely ask for her when you go by, though all the servers are wonderful so you'll get great service regardless. Can't recommend this place enough. If you're in Malaga you should definitely be outside the door at 7p when they open!
