Very friendly personal, they have english menu. You may give dish at regular size, 1/2 portions or tapa. I have 1/2 salmon with black rice and it was realy huge! Tasty deserts, especially tiramisu

Great place. I loved the Secreto Ibérico and the Entrecôte Argentinian. Very nice staff. This place is very close from the Plaza Carbon. Take a reservation if not sure if it's going to be full or not

Definitely the best place to eat in Malaga. Try the cod with broccoli, amazing. We had dinner3 xtimes in 4 days there, very friendly staff, service is a bit slow (like everywhere in the south of spain

Squid and risotto were mind blowing - a must have. Patatas bravas were great too. However, wouldn’t recommend the croquetas or sangria. Also, please note that the prawns are BATTERED, not buttered.

You cannot go wrong about anything on the menu. Everything was spectacular!!! Tip - follow recommendations of the attentive waiters :) advisable to book in advance, its fame is as good as its food!

A modern take on tapas executed very well! Try the octopus and save some space for the fig flan.

Their kitchen's good @ everything. Especially go for salmon w/ black rice & spinach, pork w/ pumpkin & pineapple sauce and blood sausage (the best we've ever eaten), apple pie w/ ice cream for dessert

Great mix of authentic Spanish tapas and more innovative choices. The tuna kebab with mango sauce and avocado is a must. Fantastic atmosphere as well.
Reedani TJanuary 22, 2019
We tried pumpkin-mushroom risotto, rocket-goat cheese-berry salad, tuna with puree for starters and as main course we took stew and sea bass. Everything was amazing! Worth the price!
Parmiss MSeptember 11, 2014
Very friendly staff, the battered prawns + smoked salmon rolls filled with Russian salad are a must try! Sit by the bar and enjoy the high quality food. Dulce vino after food is just the right finish

Mostly a place for tourists but still very good. Slightly on the pricier edge and the portions are not that big. Good service and some excellent Spanish wines to choose from.

Omg, this place is just amazing! Chill vibe, friendly staff, beautifully plated seafood tapas 🐟. I am sure this is the best tapas restaurant in town!
Kate TurnerNovember 7, 2014
Excellent creative tapas in a modern setting. You can order tapas & bigger portions in the first room & there's a restaurant at the back. Great fish dishes. Friendly service.

We had a fantastic evening here, the food was amazing, staff very friendly and the bill a pleasant surprise

Come early or reserve in advance. Best tapas we had, no fried food but real Spanish small plates! Loved it!

Tapas are amazing, we allowed the waitress to chose food for us and we did not regret it. Excellent wine selection. A reservation is recommended
Lauma VilciņaFebruary 14, 2022
Trendy and romantic place, but you won’t find any tapas to share. They offer only a few vegetarian tapas, everything else is 1/2 or full portion.
Romana BarosovaMarch 5, 2020
Ali was our amazing waiter. The food was beyond delicious. One of the best restaurants we have been.
Tomasz JaskowskiDecember 13, 2015
Ask for menu not listed, it is as good as good sex - you may wish to go out for a smoke afterwards ;)

Maren StangelandJune 29, 2019
Wonderful tapas and local wine. Try the buttered shrimp, simply the best!!
John FlitcroftNovember 23, 2013
The local wine is great, middle cost (18€ - bottle) is peppery and dry. Staff speak several languages, and have a great sense of humour. Good food as well!
Kenneth RhemrevDecember 21, 2017
Tapas is amazing! In particular the wild mushrooms, the tuna and the risotto. The brownie for dessert is also golden
Anna SzypkowskaSeptember 24, 2016

Marinated tuna kebab is to die for. Don't go to the sister restaurant across the road - same menu, but awful execution of it
Oliver SearsJuly 26, 2013
Spanish dining at its finest. Perfect for sharing with family & friends. Multilingual & very courteous staff, giving great recommendations, for both food & the right wine to complement.
Daniel MartinAugust 14, 2019
Marinated tuna skewers. All I have to say
Tina FishyJanuary 11, 2018
