Best places: Traditional restaurants in Málaga, Spain

Southern Spanish tapas, sharing plates & mains at a traditional bar & eatery with a tiled interior.

😠 I don’t know how this restaurant has a good rate. I only could eat some fries! We ordered vegetables with garlic topping, there wasn’t any garlic! Onion pie was awful 😣 with worst quality ever! We ordered T bone steak and it was very rare, they didn’t asked us how we wanted it! We ordered stuffed m...

Tucked down an alley, this tavernlike eatery serves regional dishes like oxtail & fried anchovies.

👍👍 This has to be one of the best discoveries in the city center I’ve found in a while. The food was good, the service is good, and the dessert was super nice too. This is a no-frills, very traditional Spanish cooking type of place. It reminded me of a lot of the dishes today with my grandma. And the...

👍👍 We had an excellent dinner at Meson el pollo del Tio Paco. Our party of 10 people shared the meal. We started off with a mix of tomato bread, a fresh salad, and grilled chorizo sausages. For the mains we had steak with chips, grilled chicken, grilled pork sausages and a tomato salad.

👍👍 No tengo palabras para describir la experiencia con Alberto, con Paula y por supuesto del equipo de cocina del mesón, teniendo el gusto de conocer a Noelia. Hemos celebrado una boda íntima allí y ha salido todo de lujo, maravilloso. El trato excelente, la comida sin palabras espectacular estaba todo...

Colorful Italian restaurant serving Neapolitan-style pizzas, pasta & grills, plus desserts.

👍 Old fashioned traditional Spanish restaurant. Friendly staff, helpful (in case you don't speak Spanish). One of my favourites for a comida.

Traditional tapas with a modern spin in a bright, understated bar/restaurant with al fresco tables.

Comfortable restaurant specializing in roasted pork dishes, plus soups & seafood plates.

😠 Cafe pretending to be a restaurant. The floor is sticky. Tables are dirty. Even the menu with stains. The staff is not friendly at all. I asked for a table and waitress offered us a table with puddle underneath it. I asked her to give us another table cause there is a puddle and she said that it’s n...
