Giraffe World Kitchen — Restaurant in Málaga

I've been twice and it was awful both times. The first time I had a burger which had bits of gristle in it (although to be fair it was nicely cooked, but hard to enjoy when it's full of unwanted extra 'texture'!), the second I had a pitifully small bowl of pasta. I still didn't finish it all because it was nasty. A mix of nuclear heat and lukewarm - nothing against using a microwave to reheat food but at least stir it before serving. The sauce was like watered down tinned tomatoes with very old dried mixed herbs, possibly just oregano but it was hard to tell. I will say the cheese was good (pleasingly melty). The waiters were friendly but pretty inattentive - it took about 50 minutes to get my food. It was busy, but not packed, and a good deal of the time was spent trying to get someone to make contact and take my order. The wasn't any salt in the condiment boxes which irritated me. The menu has a pretty decent range (not so much for me but I have allergies and I can't fault the restaurant for that!), but if it's all as bad as the meals I've had then that is immaterial. I gave it a second chance after The Incident of the Gristle Burger; l won't be...

By far the best restaurant in Malaga Airport, or - to be frank - in any Spanish airport I have visited.

There is a full menu which change throughout the day. I had a €17.10 Burger with Bacon and Cheese 🍔 which tops any meal you could wish for on board even in business class. I ordered 'medium /red' but unfortunately it came 'well done'. Didn't have the time to order a new one, so there is room for improvement.

My waiter today was Mario, who was top notch and on the spot immediately. This restaurant makes you look forward to your next delayed flight. Even if you have free admittance to the VIP Lounge I'd rather eat here. Drink Malbec 🇦🇷 if you don't mind room temperature wine. Otherwise the Sauvignon Blanc from Valdubon 🇪🇸

Ah - there is one thing; music is Latin 🙄 I don't know anyone who likes Latin, but if this is your kind of music, this restaurant jumps in to the stratosphere. For the rest of us, make sure to wear your over ear noise cancelling...

Ever wonder what it’s like to dine next to your food instead of with it? Now you don’t have to.

If you’re into performance art where your meal plays the role of a neglected prop and you’re cast as the unpaid waiter, this place nailed it.

We watched our food sit alone on the counter for a solid 10 minutes, slowly losing the will to be delicious. Eventually, we walked over and picked it up ourselves. No one noticed. Not even a raised eyebrow.

But it gets better: when we were ready to leave, we had to recruit someone to take our money. Imagine going to a restaurant and doing both front-of-house and back-of-house work for free. We’re one shift away from applying for employee benefits.

Food might’ve been great — wouldn’t know. By the time we got it, the will to enjoy had left the building.

Add this place to your list if you’re into immersive theater or culinary...
