Must try
Small plates to share or a tasting menu with wine pairing. The Michelin Guide mentions the 'cornfield of the black sea', the payoyo leeks and the citrus mango; in reviews, the oxtail fritter with amaretto sauce, the tiger snapper and the beetroot with burrata.
About
On the slope of Gibralfaro, where the La Coracha district used to be, with a terrace and views of the city and the Mediterranean. Chef Pablo Rutllant mixes travel-inspired and Málaga cooking because he sees Málaga as a city 'made of foreignness'.
Good to know
The portions are small: expect to order several (December 2025). Ask for a terrace table for the views.
Getting there and parking
It is on the climb to Gibralfaro: take a taxi, or walk uphill from the centre.
