Read moreA bit fiddly to find but worth battling with the GPS on your phone to get there. Excellent place. Good points: Lovely service staff, friendly and helpful even when we arrived late on a busy afternoon during semana santa. Welcoming and attentive, yet not intrusive. Thank you. Utterly delicious food. It's great that places like this are taking traditional Spanish dishes and reworking them to modern tastes: that doesn't always work but here they get it right. On point cooking with superb ingredients and great flavour profiles. Well done. A fantastic wine list of great quality. Lovely setting, close enough to the main sights of Malaga but quiet enough to not be affected by traffic or tourists or the huge Easter processions. Gorgeous interior. Bad points: Portions are generous. I could have got by just on the starters. I had to leave some of my delicious fideos because I'd never have managed any of my main course. Maybe reduce the portion size? I hate food waste in any circumstances but I especially hate having to leave such great food. QR codes instead of paper menus. Just no! Even an A4 simple printed menu is better than a badly functioning bit of tech that won't allow you to read the menu properly. Kudos to the waitress for giving us her laptop to read! All in all, a great afternoon and I will certainly be back as soon...

He was texting while taking our order...then brought out the wrong food One of us ate their meal 30 mins after the rest had finished because he had taken the wrong order We were made to wait 25 mins between requesting the bill and paying
To cap it off, I told him we were unhappy with the service, he said nothing and then would take hilariously long routes around the restaurant to avoid having to interact with us or make any eye contact. It...
