TABERNA SERGIO MEGIAS — Restaurant in Alhaurín de la Torre

Sergio Megias Gastrobar is a standout dining experience in Alhaurín de la Torre, a place that strikes the ideal balance between creativity, comfort, and quality. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re welcomed with warmth by attentive, knowledgeable staff who clearly care about your experience. The food is consistently fantastic. The menu is updated regularly to reflect the seasons, offering a wide variety of innovative dishes, classic ingredients with clever, unexpected twists. The pork ribs were absolutely phenomenal: tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The patatas bravas were, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had. Salads are also a highlight; fresh, balanced, and anything but ordinary. And don’t skip dessert: from the delicate handcrafted chocolates to the refreshing pineapple slices, each sweet treat feels carefully considered. What adds to the charm is the open view into the kitchen, which not only adds a layer of transparency but also reinforces the care and professionalism that goes into each plate. Portion sizes vary, with a helpful distinction between tapa-sized servings and larger shareable options. The staff are happy to guide you based on your group and appetite, and the pricing is surprisingly reasonable for the quality on offer. The interior is cozy yet modern, with a stylish, relaxed vibe, especially lovely in the evenings. Whether you’re seated indoors or on the outdoor terrace, it’s a perfect setting for everything from a casual dinner with friends to a more intimate evening out. The wine list is particularly impressive: well-curated, extensive, and a true complement to the menu. We try to visit at least once a month, and it’s easy to see why. Sergio Megias Gastrobar isn’t just a local favorite; it’s a reason in itself to visit Alhaurín...

Trying to hard to be something they are not would be my way to describe this restaurant. It's too much on one plate, and it's not really done well. We had a tapas menu, which is like the specialty but it was a bit pretentious and sub par. The final maincourse was a deepfried mushroom with something that had to be Bernaise sauce, but tasted more like glue to be honest. Also, the ambiance is a bit weird, it's has a couple tv screens that show sports and pictures of some pretty dishes (unfortunately the real ones weren't as good). Wines are really...

Por calidad de la comida le pondría 4 o 5 estrellas, le pongo solo 2 por una camarera de mediana edad que, a la fuerza se empeña en que te sientes donde a ella le da la gana y no, donde a ti te apetece. Durante mucho tiempo acudía a comer, junto a mi mujer, al menos un día a la semana, a veces, hasta dos días. Siempre íbamos sobre las 15 o 15:30 H después de salir del trabajo, de lunes a viernes. A esa hora, y días laborables, suele haber sitio libre de sobra, y dado lo tarde, ya no llegan más clientes. Mi mujer y yo, nos sentábamos siempre que podíamos en una mesa de 4 junto a la pared. Era nuestro sitio, somos animales de costumbres. Pues bien, un día, tras meses comiendo allí casi todas las semanas, está señora nos dice que no podemos sentarnos en una mesa de 4, que nos sentemos donde ella nos indica. Le pedimos, que dado que está el local prácticamente vacío, y hay muchas mesas libres, nos permita sentarnos en nuestro sitio habitual. Nos dice que no, que son nuevas normas del local. Finalmente, cuando le decimos, que en ese caso nos vamos a comer a otro establecimiento, cede y nos deja sentarnos en la mesa que nos apetece. Ese día la notamos desagradable y nos atendió bastante mal. Esta situación se repitió otras dos o tres veces que fuimos a comer. Ahora hace ya varios meses que no vamos, nos aburrió. Un lastima, se ve que le sobran los clientes o que ella no es la propietaria. Nosotros, por nuestro trabajo, seguimos comiendo casi todos los días fuera de casa, eso sí, ahora en otros sitios, hay muchos donde elegir. Se llama ley de la oferta...
