Founded in 1840.<\/strong> It is the oldest tavern in M\u00e1laga and has <strong>4.6 out of nearly 11,000 reviews<\/strong>, which is an absolute fortune for a place like that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three things to know before you go in:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It is drunk standing up.<\/strong> There are no tables or chairs \u2013 just a bar and some barrels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The bill is marked with chalk on the wooden bar<\/strong>, right in front of you. It\u2019s still done that way.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go and get the wine, not the food.<\/strong> There\u2019s a bit of a cover, but that\u2019s not the reason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What to order on tap:<\/strong> the <strong>Pajarete<\/strong>, semi-sweet, or vermouth. <strong>It\u2019s the cheapest in the city centre<\/strong> and on Sundays it closes at 3.30 pm.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Bodega El Pimpi<\/h3>\n<p><strong>62 Granada Street.<\/strong> The most famous in M\u00e1laga: <strong>20,000 reviews and a 4.1 rating<\/strong>. Open every day from 12:00 to midnight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful information:<\/strong> <strong>It\u2019s huge and a maze<\/strong>, with a series of interconnected rooms and courtyards, and at midday it\u2019s full of people taking photos. If you want to enjoy a leisurely lunch, head for the rooms at the back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What really works<\/strong> according to those who have eaten there: the <strong>omelette<\/strong>, the <strong>Malaga salad<\/strong>, the <strong>flamenqu\u00edn<\/strong>, the <strong>octopus<\/strong> and summer red wine.<\/p>\n<p><em>There\u2019s not much for vegetarians: just a couple of options, and they\u2019re not great.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2>\ud83d\udd25 Espetos: the El Tintero system<\/h2>\n<h3>El Tintero Restaurant<\/h3>\n<p><strong>340 Salvador Allende Avenue, in El Palo.<\/strong> <strong>4.2 out of over 22,000 reviews<\/strong>, the highest volume in the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And it works in a way that you need to understand before you get there:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>There is no menu.<\/strong> None.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The waiters walk between the tables, calling out the dishes<\/strong> and you just pick the one you want as you walk past.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The bill is calculated at the end by counting the dishes<\/strong> that you have on the table.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Two tips from someone who\u2019s been there:<\/strong> <strong>arrive early<\/strong> to book a table, and <strong>Say out loud if there\u2019s anything you don\u2019t want<\/strong> Make sure they let you go first, because if he stays, he\u2019ll charge you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open every day<\/strong> from 12.30 pm to 11.30 pm. It\u2019s the ultimate M\u00e1laga experience, and the fish goes straight from the grill to the table.<\/p>\n\n<h3>La Farola Beach Bar<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Mat\u00edas Prats Promenade.<\/strong> <strong>Let\u2019s be honest here: it gets a 3.5<\/strong>, the lowest rating on this list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The good bits:<\/strong> The fish is grilled right next door; it\u2019s right by the beach, and a bottle of wine costs around \u20ac3.50.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you need to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It closes at 6.00 pm<\/strong> every day: <strong>We don\u2019t have dinner here<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The toilets are public and are outside<\/strong>, with a tail.

It\u2019s not a restaurant with background music: <strong>It\u2019s a dinner and a show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is open from 1.00 pm to 1.00 am and is closed on Mondays.<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking for flamenco without having to pay for a separate tablao, this is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n<h2>\ud83c\udf0d And if you\u2019ve already tried the local fare<\/h2>\n<h3>Sushita Chinitas<\/h3>\n<p><strong>4 Moreno Monroy Street.<\/strong> <strong>4.7 out of 467 reviews: the highest rating on this entire list.<\/strong> Sushi, ramen and duck spring rolls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notice:<\/strong> <strong>There is a time limit at the table \u2013 about an hour and a half.<\/strong> You\u2019re going for dinner, not to hang about.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Trattoria Portofino<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Plaza del Carb\u00f3n, 3.<\/strong> <strong>4,5<\/strong>, serving pasta and pizza, and with a selection of genuine Italian wines \u2013 something you don\u2019t often find in M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n<p><em>Important note: \u00abtrattoria\u00bb is a type of restaurant, not a specific name.

The bill is calculated at the end by counting the dishes left on the table, so it\u2019s best to say out loud if there\u2019s anything you don\u2019t want them to leave on the table. It\u2019s in El Palo and is open every day from 12.30 pm to 11.30 pm; it\u2019s best to arrive early to get a table.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which restaurant in M\u00e1laga city has a Michelin star?<\/h3>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Carlos Garc\u00eda, at Muelle Uno, has one Michelin star and two Repsol Suns. It offers a tasting menu and is the most expensive restaurant in the city. It is closed on Mondays and Sundays, and is located in the harbour, not in the city centre \u2013 something to bear in mind when planning your visit.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Where can you enjoy flamenco and dinner in M\u00e1laga?<\/h3>\n<p>At Vino M\u00edo, in Plaza de Jer\u00f3nimo Cuervo, which offers live flamenco performances throughout the day. This is the feature that most reviews highlight, even more so than the menu itself. It is open from 13:00 to 01:00 and is closed on Mondays.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which is the oldest tavern in M\u00e1laga?<\/h3>\n<p>The Antigua Casa de Guardia, on the Alameda Principal, was founded in 1840. You drink standing up, with no tables, and the bill is still written in chalk on the wooden bar. It\u2019s best to go for the wine on tap \u2013 particularly the Pajarete \u2013 rather than for the food. It closes at 3.30 pm on Sundays.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What time do people have lunch and dinner in M\u00e1laga?<\/h3>\n<p>Lunch is served between 2.00 pm and 3.30 pm, and dinner from 9.00 pm onwards. Outside these times, many restaurants are closed. Beach bars are the opposite exception: many close in the afternoon and do not serve dinner.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What is the difference between porra antequerana and gazpacho?<\/h3>\n<p>Porra is noticeably thicker and is usually served with a boiled egg and ham on top, so that it is almost eaten with a spoon. Gazpacho is more liquid and is drunk. Both are cold soups made from tomatoes and bread, but porra is a dish from the Antequera region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/where-to-eat-in-malaga\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Malaga\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/what-to-see-in-malaga-10-must-sees\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Where to eat in Malaga\"}]},{\"@type\":\"ItemList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/where-to-eat-in-malaga\/#restaurantes\",\"name\":\"Where to eat in Malaga\",\"numberOfItems\":10,\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"Restaurant\",\"name\":\"Antigua Casa de Guardia\",\"description\":\"A tavern founded in 1840, the oldest in M\u00e1laga.
