About
Small tapas bar next to Plaza de los Naranjos, run by its own chef. Creative tapas with Asian and French touches, not classic Málaga cooking.
Good to know
Put your name on the list at the door. At lunchtime the queue is shorter; if you arrive for dinner after 19:30, it is hard to get a seat before 21:00 (May 2026). Go in a group and share. One review complains that plates are cleared in a rush.
Getting there and parking
In the old town, which is pedestrianised: park in a car park in the centre and walk in.
