Where to eat European food in Malaga: The Best Restaurants and Bars

August 16, 2019 Terina Blouin

Find out what European restaurants to try in Malaga. Malaga is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded in the 8th century by the Phoenicians. Today, art is everywhere-- you can experience exhibits dedicated to glass and crystal, classic cars, contemporary installations, and, of course, the works of Picasso, who was born here. Wander past banana trees and beautiful fountains as you walk through Paseo del Parque, then hit the old city to quench your thirst at a Spanish tavern.

Da Saveria

Homemade Italian takeaway or to eat fresh pasta bar and also handmade sweet "evidence, eat or wear homemade Italian food."

Reviewed By Kelvin_Fahrenheit

Looking for smt really Italian? Manage your expectations.. The place and the ingredients are Italian, yes, but we felt like the standards were not there somehow.. PIZZA: was too flat, undercooked, and it tasted like a frozen one. PASTA: not exceptional (I personally didn't like the filling).CANNOLI: being in the fridge for long, so not fresh & crispy (maybe imported as is), but tasted good.TIRAMISU: unpalatable, completely soaked in way too much coffee. Not recommended at all.STAFF: Thank you, SOFIA for being such a friendly and natural host of us! :xThe place could be a really good Italian (for me) if these small details would be fixed.Vi ringraziamo per averci fatto sapere la vostra opinione. Grazie mille per avere lodato e apprezzato l’attenzione sempre attenta che il nostro personale si impegna al massimo di concederla a cada uno dei nostri affezionati clienti. Tuttavia, a dir la verità, il suo commento mi lascia più di qualche perplessità. Chiaramente non metterò in dubbio la sua grande conoscenza per quanto riguarda le prelibatezze che l’Italia offre in quanto a cibo. Caro signore, la gente avrebbe bisogno di imparare a rispettare il prossimo e ad essere meno pieni di se stessi anche perché, a lei può piacere o no un tipo di cucina, ma non ha il diritto tale da smontare un locale che rende felici e soddisfatti centinaia di clienti. Un cordiale saluto dal responsabile delle relazioni pubbliche “da Saveria”.

The food was okay but nothing spectacular. Tasted fresh maybe a bit expensive for a small wrap. Staff was friendly.

Reviewed By QualitymanYorkshire

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 €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 it’s ranking on Tripadvisor. We will be back!

La Alacena de Francis

Reviewed By bbree

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 ‘salami’. All with appropriate wines suggested by our host. And I’ve paid a lot more for inferior food so this was superb value for money

What an excellent restaurant! The owner, Santo was extremely helpful and accommodating. His suggestions for the appetizers and main plates was right on. His selection of wine was very appropriate for the meal we had. His servers were very professional and attentive. But it was the food that took the prize! Thanks for your review.Best regards,Santo Romeo

Garcia Taberna

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!

Cafe Central

Reviewed By AnitaT947

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
