    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.

    Of all the restaurants near the center of Malaga this was the best meal we had (we stayed in and…read morearound for a week). Staff was on point. Very attentive. We ordered the set and the value was immense. Gazpacho, pork medallions and flan or ice cream. Wine recommendation paired well and they have coffee for after meal relaxation. Nothing fell short and they really seem to be well staffed, and care about what they are doing. If ever in Malaga again, we will definitely return.

    This restaurant knows what they are doing. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The place is…read moreclean and organized. It is not a great decor but it is inviting. The food is excellent. Croquetas were moist on the inside a perfectly crunchy on the outside. The Jamon iberico and the Manchego cheeses was top notch the wine selection was excellent Yelp Now that I have been yelping for a while, I realize what a cool application this really is. Yelp has become my "go to" site whenever I go to a new city around the world. I've also been able to communicate with yelp friends from around the world whenever I travel to a new city in order to get advice of where to eat and also for business information. Yelp is also a great way to keep track of your past experiences and it has become a digital record of where I have been and how much I enjoyed those locations. Yelp is also really great place to connect with people in your own town to see what is going on and what is fun and which restaurants are new and exciting. Try it, you may very well enjoy becoming a yelper also.

    Picture in your head what a stereotype tapas place should look like and I'm pretty sure something…read moreclose to this is what most would imagine. I love this place. Service is slightly slow because of the amount of people that they serve at any given time. So yes understandably, you will probably have to flag your waiter/waitress if you want anything after your initial order is taken because it can seem a little chaotic. The place is total old school Andalusia. How about the food? The food is just as authentic as the look of this place, which is always packed. I had the typical tomato salad with fish which is always delicious because the basic ingredients are always so fresh. Tomatoes stand out here because they are soo good. I enjoyed patatas bravas, salpicon, gildas, jamon, olives and croquetas de toro. What better to wash it all down with than a cup of Jerez amontillado and a glass of tinto de verano. Those that have left mediocre reveiws probably don't know what to expect or have no idea what to order, which, will probably end in an unfavorable experience. If you want a genuine experience of Malaga, then this place should be on your list of places to eat.

    Highly Recommended by the Front desk young lady at our hotel…read more Usually packed. Got a table and Javi from Sevilla is taking awesome care of us. Javi made great recommendations. Vermut and several small plates. Order from the Lola Specialties; they are truly different and delicious. However, the whole experience was ruined by two customers smoking strong foul smell Camels at a table. WHERE IS MANAGEMENT...? So Sad. I started coughing and had to leave without dessert and coffee.
