Bar Mercado Atarazanas
From Málaga centre5 min
Price€
KidsYes, but almost everything is standing and it is very noisy
AddressCalle Atarazanas, 10, 29005 Málaga
Opening hoursMonday to Saturday from 11:00 until mid-afternoon; Sunday closed (TripAdvisor, October 2026). Note: the market closes at 14:00, but the bar has its own entrance from the street. Confirm the afternoon and evening hours before you go.
Must try
Prawns, octopus and octopus skewers, baby squid, red mullet, boquerones and bonito; fresh juices at the fruit stalls. In September 2025 one diner paid €19 for an octopus and €35 for a mixed seafood platter; others reckon about €20 per person.
About
The market bar: fresh fish and seafood, grilled or fried, eaten at the counter among the fruit, meat and fish stalls.
Good to know
Go early: it fills up and there is little seating. Check your bill against the menu: in February 2026 one customer was charged double on two dishes (corrected when he complained).
Getting there and parking
Metro: Atarazanas station, on the Alameda Principal, a step away.
