Since arriving in Spain, we had unfortunately experienced several disappointing meals, but this was the first truly wonderful and memorable dining experience we had in Málaga. First of all, we would like to talk about Caroline — she was incredibly kind, warm, and treated us with great humor. Thanks to Caroline and the other servers, we were able to enjoy a delicious and well-paced meal from start to finish. Each dish was served in the right order and at the perfect timing. The baby squid ink risotto was excellent; for Korean guests, it might be even better if you ask for it slightly less salty. The cod was cooked very evenly, with a tender yet bouncy texture that paired beautifully with the sauce. The octopus was also impressively soft, and the duck breast was light and flavorful, especially with its sauce. The wine pairing that was recommended to us was outstanding. For dessert, the apple-based dessert with cold vanilla ice cream was simple yet perfectly balanced and delicious. Every dish was thoroughly enjoyed, and it was a very satisfying dining experience overall. If we ever return to Málaga, this is a place we would visit again without hesitation.

I would give more stars if it was possible. Everything at this restaurant was fabulous. From friendly staff to the vibe and the quality of food. We absolutely enjoyed the food - more like devoured it as soon as it arrived at our table. Even got to meet the chef and thank him and his team personally after watching them create every single plate from our table (it’s an open kitchen so you can watch the magic happen).

A busy and cosy atmosphere at this restaurant. We tasted some delicious local wines and also gorgeous seafood. The risottos are delicious too. Try the baby squids with black rice and the morcilla.
