La Desayuneria — Restaurant in Málaga

AWFUL AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND FOOD. WORST PANCAKES EVER, I truly wish I could give it less than one star. without over exaggeration. I’m not a complainer and I don’t write reviews but this one was the one that forced me to. We waited all week to get this for our final day in Malaga, only to get pancakes that felt like eating just sugar, including the texture. It was so sugary it was GRAINY. We ordered the pancakes with bacon and eggs, supposed to be eaten with maple syrup but even without it we couldn’t get through it, two bites and we asked for a replacement or cancellation, because it was inedible. We were told by the owner (?) or manager, that this is how American pancakes are, then when I said we know how they are because my partner who was with me there is American, she said this is how European pancakes are. I’m european and I never had this much of a pancake disaster in my life, and I’ve had A LOT of pancakes. The coffee and iced tea was good but not enough to convince me it was worth paying 30 euro for that and TWO bites of food, and tooth ache after leaving. Unless you love eating pure sugar and are on a speedrun to get diabetes, stay away from this place. But the waitress was...

Simply awful food. I had the Especial Americano Mañanero breakfast and my SO had the Tostada Integral con Huevo revuelto y aguacate. It’s difficult to describe just how awful the food was. The bacon was incinerated, the sausages were deep fried frankfurters, the supposedly fried potatoes came in an indescribable yellow sauce, the mushrooms tasted of vinegar, the beans seemed to be a mix of white bean stewed in sweetened tinned tomatoes. The butter for the toast arrived at about 3c so it was impossible to spread. I ate one egg on a piece of toast and left the rest. The SO’s avocado and scrambled egg mix with doused in a sour unpleasant sauce. She left all of hers. The coffee is bitter and arrives with brown sugar. The orange juice is fine but really the only redeeming feature. We left hungry and €35 lighter. Undoubtedly the worst breakfast I have paid for anywhere in the world. It was almost as if someone had seen a cooked breakfast and tried to recreate one without ever having tasted the food they...

Great staff and nice atmosphere, but not so good food.

We each ordered one of the Maria Antonietas that consisted of two French toast slices cut in wedges and sparsely dusted with powdered sugar, scrambled eggs and two bacon slices.

The plating was stacked with the toast on the bottom, then eggs, then bacon. While it looked nice, my personal preference is that the food be separated on the plate.

Then comes the next sense - smell. Our first reaction was that the food smelled like fish. It’s as if it has been stored and prepared next to fish. It may have been the herbs that were in the eggs, but the bacon also tasted slightly like fish. It was strange, to say the least. The bacon also had little white spots on it - another bit of strangeness. Next was the French toast. The taste was fine, except the texture in the center was gooey. It seemed raw in the center.

All in all, it was an interesting attempt at an American breakfast. Unfortunately, the execution fell...
