Small restaurant in the heart of Malaga, next to the Plaza de la Merced, the Cervantes Theater, and the Birthplace of Picasso. Our cuisine is eclectic: the influence of Asian and South American cuisine, with a marked local spirit. And we love wine!

We visited this restaurant for dinner on a Friday night.All food is prepared fresh and menu is focussed therefore still offering great variety of starters, meat and fish. You can choose between small, medium and large portions for most dishes.Everything we had was very tasty and nicely arranged. Absolutely delicious.Wine menu is also nice with good selection of local wine. Wines are priced very fairly - between â¬15-25 a bottle.Do not miss out on the nice desert wines they offer.Service was outstanding - the team is not only attentive and friendly but is also very skilled language wise (french and English covered perfectly well). Most important the team is really enjoying hosting their guests and they have great recommendations. Thanks for a fantastic evening.

Having experienced some appalling service in Malaga, this was a great. The owner spoke several languages, was friendly and helpful. The food was lovely - we stuck to the tapas - and was very promptly served. Chocolate cake was excellent. Would definitely go there again.

Our cruise stopped in Malaga we decided to go for a traditional tapas lunch, following reviews we booked a table at Kortxo.This restaurant was located up a side street and could easily have been missed. We were warmly greeted by the owner and his wife. Wow the tapas exceeded our expectations we had shrimp croquettes, foie gras ravioli, purple patatas bravas and chirozo which came to the table in flames, accompanied by a great bottle of Tempranillo and finally the best ever cheesecake. Cost â¬72 included in the cost was a couple of duplicated tapas dishes as they were so enjoyable. If you are in Malaga this restaurant is a must visit you will not be disappointed.Love love

Avocado toast with scrambled egg and smoked salmon was great for a quick and healthy lunch. Dining inside or on small terrace to front. Open from breakfast to late, they have something suitable to take you through the day. Emphasis on fresh and healthy food. Some great colours going on ! Gluton free, veggie and vegan options ! Efficient and friendly owner / staff.

This place is small, so go early. Or try to book a table for tomorrow by passing by in person today. The concierge at our hotel said that is the only way to book. It is no surprise that the restaurant is popular: we had peppers with anchovies; seaweed and soft-shell crab (absolutely superb) and a hugely betruffled risotto. All dishes are to be shared between two and are wildly innovative and creative. Some are initially difficult to identify but, truly, this adds to the fun. Including wine, water, coffees and tip, the bill was about â¬90. Out of this world and highly recommended.

We went to this place after a recommendation from family (making a reservation is definately needed). These guys know how to make great food with matching wines/beers. We also learned that good olive oils can make a huge difference. Friendly staff. Cosy small place. Definately worth itâs ranking on Tripadvisor. We will be back!

Just go with what the patron suggests and enjoy a gourmet feast. Book to avoid disappointment. We had the smoked fish, veal tongue, Iberian pork, local cheese and chocolate âsalamiâ. All with appropriate wines suggested by our host. And Iâve paid a lot more for inferior food so this was superb value for money

This cafe was on the square right outside our hotel so was a no-brainer for coffee and breakfast. The 'full English' was a bargain, with toast and freshly squeezed orange juice and eggs to order with bacon - the toast wasn't really toasted (longer under the grill!!) but the eggs were good, and the bacon was swapped for tomato by my vegetarian friend with no problem. Coffee was good, and the tea was proper loose leaf with a tea strainer - lovely, and not what I had been expecting!! A nice spot.Hi AnitaT947,Thank you so much for the review and for taking the time to comment. We are glad to read thay you enjoyed your breakfast and coffee.Best wishes,Café Central
