What to eat in Malaga🐙🐟☕🍰

🍤 Málaga Food Guide: Hits & Misses to Note Freiduría Chupytira ☑️ (Super Popular!) Address: C. Tomás Echeverría, 13, Carretera de Cádiz, 29002 Málaga It’s a 10 - minute taxi ride from the city center and closer to the train station—perfect for your first meal in Málaga. The octopus (Photo 1) is a must! Choose between fried 🤩 or grilled. The boiled shrimp (Photo 2) is sweet and fresh—both dishes are ordered by almost every table. The small clams (concha fina) have a texture similar to geoduck, super fresh and chewy. Skip the scallops (vieira)—the garlic sauce is bitter and spicy, so try just one if you’re curious. The fried eggplant is a surprise hit! Crispy outside, tender inside, drizzled with brown syrup for a rich, unexpected flavor. Price: €25–30 per person. Pez Wanda (Paella) ❌ Address: C. Granada, 39, Distrito Centro, 29015 Málaga We initially planned to go to the (Instagram - famous) Casa Lola (known for bad service and long lines), so we switched to this spot with a 4.6 Google rating. Sadly, it’s the worst paella I’ve had in Spain—avoid😒. El Pimpi (Fried Fish Platter) ☑️ Their fried fish platter is huge! It includes all the classic seafood tapas: squid, cod, whitebait, anchovies, etc.—all for €28. The location is great, right next to Roman ruins, and the vibe is lovely. Price: €25+ per person. Oreo Cookies ☑️ (Must - Try!) These are a standout—don’t miss them! The coffee here is good too, but it’s takeaway only. Cafés: Mala Leche & Bueno Café ☑️ Mala Leche serves great coffee, and Bueno Café (slightly larger) is also recommended. Both are perfect for a post - walk rest and photos 📸. La Cheesqueria (Basque Cheesecake) The first bite is nice, but it gets boring fast. The cheese flavor isn’t strong, and it’s greasy after a few forkfuls. P.S. I always recommend Alex Cordobes in Madrid—it’s way better! Doña Lola (in Nerja) Their garlic shrimp is legendary—so good you’ll want to drink the oil! The Secreto ibérico (Iberian pork) is also amazing. If you’re in Nerja, order without hesitation😋. Kosei Sushi ❌ We had high hopes (4.8 Google rating), but it’s a letdown. The maki has weird seasoning, and the sashimi isn’t as fresh as expected. For a €60 - per - person sushi spot, it’s a total miss. #MálagaFood #MálagaGuide #SpainEats #FoodieTips #NerjaFood
