Chiringuito La Farola — Restaurant in Málaga

Such a shame as it’s a great spot but I would only order drinks if you’re tempted to go. Bad service and bad food. Neither of us are fussy when it comes to food and, had I not been so hungry, I would’ve asked for my money back/ to change the Paella we ordered. They said it would take 40mins (no problem) thought that meant it would be good… It came much faster than that (great- or so I thought)! It literally tasted of salt and tomato. The rice was clearly cooked too fast and all the meat and fish were over cooked. We ordered a mixed Paella, the only meat we got were tiny pieces of chicken. The menu was completely in English and there were no Spanish there - we should have known. As mentioned, just go for a drink if you’re tempted.

There is only 2 toilets for like 100 people here, so you can expect a nice long queue. This was my worst experience by far whatever the country I was...

Very dissatisfied and disappointed, we ordered a sea bass which was recommended as very good, the fish was frozen inside and still cold to the touch. That was a food poisoning disaster avoided. The staff would not remove it from our bill and threaten us with the police straight away, we have asked to speak to the manager and after persuading him that this was unacceptable he would only agree to paying half price for the fish. We felt the situation was really mishandled and we seemed to have spoken virtually to every staff member before a decision was made. Don’t get the fish unless u will settle for an over fried calamari. Shocking as we are literally on the beach and they only had frozen...
