El Fogón de la Bahía — Restaurant in Málaga

My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at a delightful seafood restaurant near the breathtaking Malagueta Beach in Malaga. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of exceptional.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the attentive and service-oriented waiter. Throughout our meal, he went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and well taken care of. His friendly demeanor and attentiveness added a personal touch to our dining experience.

The owner of the restaurant exuded a genuine warmth and love for his establishment. He took the time to engage with each table, including ours, making us feel like cherished guests. It was evident that he took great pride in offering a remarkable dining experience to all his customers.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the talented chef, originally from Valencia, who specialized in the art of paella. The paella he prepared for us was nothing short of a masterpiece. The perfectly cooked rice, infused with aromatic spices and brimming with tender seafood, was a true delight for the senses. Each mouthful transported us to the sunny shores of Valencia, where this dish originates. We savored every bite, appreciating the chef's expertise and dedication to his craft.

Our party consisted of seven people, and the restaurant comfortably accommodated us. The spacious seating and relaxed ambiance allowed us to enjoy our meal while soaking in the stunning views of Malagueta Beach. It was a truly memorable experience for our entire family, creating lasting memories of togetherness and enjoyment.

To complement our seafood feast, we indulged in glasses of their heavenly sangria. The refreshing and fruity flavors perfectly harmonized with the vibrant dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience.

If you're searching for an unforgettable seafood adventure for your family in Malaga, this restaurant is the perfect choice. With a servile waiter, a caring owner, and a talented chef specializing in paella, they deliver an experience that surpasses expectations. Bring your loved ones and prepare to embark on a culinary journey that will leave you with cherished memories for years to come.

We eagerly look forward to our next visit, where we'll undoubtedly relish more of their exceptional seafood creations and enjoy the warm hospitality that makes this restaurant...

This is our first visit to this restaurant and we will never visit again. We made a reservation on The Fork for lunch. When we arrived, all tables on the ground floor were full except one tiny cocktail table next to the stairs. We thought that was the only table left in the restaurant and so we agreed to sit there. After being served the drinks, the tiny table was so full that every movement was restrictive for us. While still waiting for our food, we asked to change our seats because there are people leaving the restaurant. We were told that we can’t change anymore because we agreed to sit here already. This is the first time I was in a restaurant where I am not allowed to change place after sitting down. We continued to sit at that tiny teeny table while waiters brushing my arm every time they have to passed my side with hot food to get to the stairs to serve the customers upstairs (yes, they have more seatings upstairs). We were patient because we thought such a classy restaurant will have great paella and we were excited about it. Then came our super soaked and undercooked paella. This is also the first time I have been served squid with cartilage and beaks on. Then, I took my first bite and it was salty. The level of saltiness is like those buffet where they want you to drink more so you eat less. Halfway through my paella, my throat was numbed and I couldn’t feel my tongue as well. I might not have tried many paella but this one is definitely the saltiest and rawest of all.

From the reviews, we seen that the meat from this restaurant was fantastic. Maybe we have chosen the wrong dish to try from this restaurant. If you plan to visit, make sure you really like your table before you sit down. Once seated, you are stuck there until you...

Si has ido...es por qué no has leído esto primero. La verdad que una auténtica decepción. Acudimos a Málaga para luego ir a la feria y no tenía ni idea dónde acudir a comer. A través de una plataforma reservamos (con oferta incluida) y desde el momento que cruce esa puerta....sabía que me había equivocado. Un camarero muy muy muy intenso nos grito desde la otra acera para entrar a comer. Le dijimos que ya teníamos reserva. Nos invitó a pasar. Cada 30 segundos lo tenía detrás de mi con que si ya teníamos pensando la bebida, platos fuera de carta, otra vez la bebida y así hasta que le pedí por favor que cuando necesite algo lo llamaría. Mientras tanto veíamos desde al encargado entrar comida por la puerta principal del supermercado de al lado (incluida la burrata que pedí 5 min antes) hasta a los empleados discutiendo entre ellos de forma muy visible y audible.

Pido un vino, no me dicen que no tienen ese, me ponen otro sin consultar (y lo mejor es que al final me quieren cobrar más porque no está en carta, más aún cuando cuesta lo mismo que el que pedí... pufff).

Apartado de la comida: mal. No se escapa nada de lo que pedimos. Los arroces sin llegar a poco hecho (grano crujiente), poco sabor....las ensaladas no les vi la gracia por ningún lado....

Calidad precio mala,.incluido el descuento, que el que pague a precio de carta se queda más fresco que una lechuga (3€/pax por el pan...)

Lo dicho, pedí la cuenta rápido, y para la feria, que fue lo único que me alegro el día.

PD: pido dos arroces diferentes y el iluminado del camarero me pone ambos en el plato...
