A very popular place, I recommend to get a table in the garden near the trees (the entrance from calle Alcazabilla): from this place there are beautiful views to the Roman theatre and Alcazaba. Also I recommend you to go inside and see the interior with the photos of famous people there and to touch the atmosphere of old Malaga: to come from one entrance from calle Alcazabilla and to leave from another on the calle Granada. A varied menu: tapas, hamon, oysters, beef, anchovies and other fish of fries

I prefer this restaurant on the beach (chiringuito), the prices are lower, the quality is higher than in other restaurants on the beach. I recommend to taste sardines cooked on the open fire grill. Next there is a playground for children, you can not be distracted from food, watch the children there. The restaurant is closed in winter.

We like this restaurant with its atmosphere of the past century, a very warm and vintage interior. We also want to note the beautiful view of the garden of the cathedral, if you choose a table on the street. If you visit a restaurant with children, children can walk in Cathedral's garden, and you can enjoy your dinner in peace while watching the children.

A typical Spanish tavern from the province of Cadiz. The gastronomy of Cadiz would not be the whole without its shrimp tortillas, yellow salad, and fresh shrimps. Noisy and cheerful atmosphere, good light wine from Cadiz, we like their Chardonnay Miguel Domecq “Entrechuelos” with shrimp tortillas – excellent choice.

The family that owns the Mason Cervantes restaurant has two other restaurants nearby also with excellent quality, the second restaurant is Tapeo Cervantes. There is a smaller area, but a more democratic and noisy atmosphere, it will be the same quality of food, but at the same time a completely different memorable experience.

A spacious restaurant with a huge selection of wine and not a standard kitchen. European and Latin American traditions are mixed here, very tasty and unusual. We especially like chili crab here, and duck breast on a pillow of rice with nuts, and dessert caramel passion can be eaten endlessly. There are several halls inside the restaurant and several 5 tables outside. Reservations are required in summer time.

Fusion cuisine, was marked by Michelin, it is a very interesting mix of Japanese cuisine with the local roots. We can order three servings in one visit of “uramaki toro foie” without embellishment, and this taste will not let go for another week, calling to return there again and again. It Better to order a table in summer time.

Castillo Gibralfaro is an interesting place, but it's hard to climb there on foot, I advise you to take the bus 35 to the Paseo del Parque street and drive to the final stop directly to the castle. And then you can walk down to Alcazaba on foot
