La Pérgola del Mediterráneo — Restaurant in Málaga

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and I can confidently say that everything was absolutely top-notch. We arrived at 11:00 PM and by 11:30, we had already finished our meal—a testament to the efficiency and attentiveness of the staff.

The waitstaff were incredibly friendly and respectful, providing us with detailed information about the dishes we were considering. We ordered the Pil Pil Croquettes, Sea Bass, and Octopus. Every dish was freshly prepared, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious.

What truly set this experience apart, however, was the warm atmosphere and the genuine smiles that greeted us, even at such a late hour. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so welcomed and well taken care of.

I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. It’s a gem that offers not just great food, but a truly memorable...

Scenario: four hangry, picky eaters, tourists who are generally clueless. Wandering around Malaga looking for a wonderful dinner. I dragged them all to the lighthouse and took a Hail Mary on Pergola.

It turned out to be a smash hit, in fact everyone’s consensus best meal in our Costa Del Sol escapade.

The vibe was impeccable, a semi circle patio overlooking the beach (killer view) with a literal pergola. The clientele were all classy locals so we knew we hit the jackpot.

The service was world class, and Shayla (who claimed she was new) delivered an unforgettable experience. The staff professionally deboned our fish and ensured a clean rotation of plates and silverware.

We ate like royalty, and the fish in particular was a smash hit. That sea bass is still swimming in my dreams.

Not a single miss, Mediterranean Pergola is a must stop on the Malaga...

Very Disappointing!! Poor Communication and No Atmosphere..

We booked Pergola specifically for its outdoor seating and beautiful views, which are clearly a big part of the appeal. What a letdown to arrive and be told, with no prior warning, that the entire outdoor area was closed for a private event. This was never mentioned during the booking process.

We were seated at a table indoors with no view and zero atmosphere. It felt like we were tucked away and forgotten. If we’d been informed in advance, we would have gladly chosen a different date.

In the end, we went across the road to Trocadero, and it completely saved the evening. The service was friendly, the food was excellent, and the experience was miles ahead of what Pergola offered.

A bit of transparency and customer care would’ve gone a long way. Sadly, I can’t see us...
