Marisquería Canela Fina — Restaurant in Málaga

In short words: TOURIST TRAP, PLEASE AVOID I will start with good things: -food and wine was really tasty Everything apart from that was wrong: -waiter/manager offered meal that was not in the menu and decribed it as 'recommended best local fish etc..' my bad that we decided to take it. At the end the cost of that was 46€ !!! Despite the fact that it was theoretically dish for 2, with the average price of meals in the menu around 15€ that was quite a lot and I was shocked seeing the bill. Nice played by them and seeing other comments after my visits is definitely something they do to tourists frequently and that dish is not in the menu just for this purpose -tables not prepared for guests. You couldn't tell where to sit as some tables had cutlery on them and some not, either way they were presented by waiters as ready to sit -bad service in general, we received our rolls after we had our starters. Waiters eating in front of guests, when everyone is waiting to be served.. -impossible to get the bill. We saw one pair which after two attempts of going to the bar gave up, left money they thought they owe on the table and left. I was waiting very long as well and was able to pay only after standing next to the bar until manger/waiter decided to print my bill out of his order (if there was any) Despite tasty food, I definitely do...

Hola, Initially pleasant place and staff. I have ordered beer, Malagan salad and my favorite gambas al'a plancha a small portion for one person. Salad was just a little portion of potatoes in mayonnaise tasteless. Horror started when I got shrimps - smallest ever served, defrosted many times so not possible to peel off. Shrimps were just boiled not grilled on a plancha. I did not accept it and waited long time for replacement which was the same shrimps but peeled off! That made me upset, but waitress promised a new proper portion after my explanation what I expect as plancha made food. Third version was slightly grilled shrimps same difficult to peel. I asked for receipt and gone disappointed. On my way to a hotel I have noticed that I was charged for big portion of gambas 24 Euro not 14 as I ordered. I came back to restaurant and asked for refund 10 Euro. After unpleasant discussion with staff the manager gave me corrected invoice and refund in cash. He refuse to speak in English because "This is Spain and need to speak Spanish only!" Bad luck, my Spanish is better than his English. He expressed his hate to foreigners, although he looked like Arab man himself. Rude exchange of words was witnessed by all clients there. Never more I will visit this place....

Amazing food, fast and friendly service (even for tourists like me!), and lovely atmosphere.

Throughout me and my family's trip here in Málaga, we have been mistreated by most servers at the restaurants we dine at. This place was finally different. Our server communicated well with us and gave excellent recommendations.

And this restaurant had the fastest service out of all the other ones we dined at.

We ordered the vegetable paella, the Galician Octopus, the Calamares, and steamed mussels. My absolute favorites were the calamari and mussels. Super tasty.

Definitely come here if you're a tourist and want to try some of the tastiest seafood in Málaga. It is...
