    Entrecote and the angus steak with pepper sauce was very delicious! Also the chicken breast with mustard sauce was very good

    If you want fresh fish, you must try this place. The service is wonderful too plus the selection of deserts. The restaurant has seating indoors and outdoors facing the sea.

    A nice place with a slower pace than a lot of other Spanish locations x really loved the Chicken dish also. Very succulent and taste all was really good 👍

    Be aware of this tourist trap. Food is okay, but definitely not worth the price, because some seafood(octopus and shrimp) in the dishes I ordered is not fresh. I like the desert though. The part disgusts me most is they charge $2 per butter, I mean just let your customers know if you the restaurant chooses to charge out of ordinary, very very sneaky... Btw water is $2 per person just for other fellow tourists' information.

    Delicious celebration lunch with family. We'd booked well in advance knowing that Sundays are very busy, especially just before Easter. The croquetas and boquerones fritos as ever were fab, followed by some stunning sea bream and an awesome lobster Thermidor! And the puddings are also wonderful so make sure you leave room for them!

    Good prawns and fish cooked in salt. Nice waiter who provided advice on food and wine.

    One of the best seafood restaurants I've visited, I'm not a great fish eater but this restaurant has turned my head, Very friendly and helpful staff and chefs that know their stuff. The menu has a very wide, exceptional choice. Small shrimp fritters were plentiful for a starter, the sole was cooked to perfection, it came easily away from the bone and melted in my mouth. My wife's salmon platter was equally exceptional, but the steamed mussels were a disappointment a little bland without any sauce/juice to soak one's bread in. This said it was a great meal. Will eat here again without hesitation....

    Delicious seafood. Shrimp cocktail for starters was fresh and fruity. Seafood paella for three was plenty. Friendly and attentive service. Only one toilet for many customers is quite awkward having to wait in the queue while in the middle of dinner.

    As said before, nothing bad, but nothing special also. The service was ok, the waiters polite and kind. The food had tase, the portions were ok, the prices a bit up for what they offer. Otherwise, you can eat here, you wont miss, but you wont feel special eighter.

    Just back to our hotel after a fantastic meal. We shared a starter of curry langoustine and a pork paella with artichoke for our main. Both recommended by the excellent staff. It was all absolutely delicious. We asked to pause before ordering desert as I was full. Waiter suggested some cava with lemon sorbet as a digestive we agreed and it worked a treat. Food was amazing staff were friendly and helpful everything was perfect. Highly recommended 5 stars is all I can do but 10 are deserved. Thank you all very much.

    I had the best carrot cake here, I believe is homemade. The service and the food were very good. I totally recommend this place.

    One of our favorite when we come to Malaga is to go and have a paella negra and fritura malagueña with a nice glass if vino blanco. Their croquettas de marisco (seafood) are also really good ! We arrive early as it can get busy!

    Nothing wrong, but nothing special sadly. I had higher hopes. The service was very good but the food was just okay. The meat was sadly not as i hoped and not the quality i want.

  • 1/5 Ray H. 10 months ago on Google
    It was recommended to us and we couldn’t be more disappointed. I was excited to return to Spain and have great paella. It arrived with undercooked but dry rice, no sauce, and all the seafood in it was over cooked and dried out. If that wasn’t bad enough, we were completely ignored by all the staff, not even asked if we would like more water or wine, never asked if we would want desert. I interrupted a waiter to let him know what was going on and they said sorry and offered us a liquor instead of an explanation. What a horrible experience!! Don’t go there.

    Beautiful restaurant facing the sea. White table cloths and linen napkins. Great friendly service. Delicious food. I had entrecote cooked to perfection. My husband had a great beef stroganoff. Nice selection of vegetables served. Good house wine - what's not to like?

    We already visited here many times with our friends. Great food, nice staff, always clean and beautiful environment.🤩 But recently, the young kind guy had a black dirt under his fingernails. It did not look so good. :( /Please, pay more attention to this!/🙏🏼

    I have eaten here on many occasions and never been disappointed. The location is good, the service is in the Spanish formal tradition and above all the food is always top quality and beautifully cooked. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for! Advisable to book as it does get busy.!
