The food here is really excellent - the rice dishes are beautiful. We had the rice with chistorra and it was cooked beautifully! Also had the Russian salad which was excellent. It doesn’t look like the most vibey place from the outside but the food is really worth trying.

We were here for lunch after a long walk in the nearby castle and were a bit hungry. We were immediately welcomed and accommodated in spite without reservation, and had our orders, beef fillet and octopus my girlfriend. Indeed, we were curious about a green soup that our neighbours were eating, and had it as well, and we had ordered as well the famous artichokes with hamon in the top. My goodness, it was really hard to stand up, but two strong coffees served the purpose. The staff extremely friendly and the food amazingly tasteful. We've seen also a wonderful paella but our stomachs couldn't accommodate nothing else, but our Spanish neighbours seemed very delighted of it. Our experience was definitely very good, the price was according to the quality and we were satisfied. Grazie ragazzi!

We had the black rice with shrimp and squid - rich in flavor and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was relaxed and nice, with a genuine Spanish vibe. Santiago took great care of us, and the wine was excellent. We can also highly recommend the beef tenderloin and the entrecôte. A lovely experience in the heart of Málaga.
