“ This was the first meal of our Malaga trip, wonderful food! Our favourite was the avocado and tuna toast, followed by the paella. It was my mum first time trying authentic spain food, you guys really lifted our standards for the rest of our trip! ”
“ One of the best places we ate in benalmadena. I must say our waiteress today was so kind and patient, as a group with two kids we were keep changing and chosing the dishes. Personally I loved all the dishes we tried and kids were super happy with rybie steak and potatoes. All the food was extremely tasty and high quality. We had salad, croquettes, tuna on toast and delicious rice with an octopus. Definitely will be back to try some other dishes. We are so lucky to have such restaurant in our city! Thanks for a wonderful meals ”
“ We’ve traveled, lived in New York and so on and this restaurant is top 10 of our culinary experiences. The flavors blend in surprising and excellent, really really tasty. The menu is very well thought and executed and highlights local produce in an innovative way. 100% Recommend!! ”
“ I can't imagine a better place to eat. We ate here on our first evening in town. Everything we ate tasted fabulous. The tuna avocado, the baby octopus, the duck nem, serrano Croquettes and prawn croquettas. Luckily the waiter stopped us from ordering the beef because that would have been too much. We'll have to come back for that one. ”
“ Best steak I’ve ever had. The portion sizes run large, at least they did for what we ordered. Starters we had the cheesy leaks and spicy roast potatoes, both were incredible but the cheesy leaks were another level. Main, I ordered the ribeye steak and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My partner had the pork loin with new potatoes which was also spectacular! I write this review with apprehension as I don’t want British people to come here and spoil it, as it is quintessential Spanish dining experience. I’ve put service down a star (4/5) because it was just one guy front of house serving and taking orders, which couldn’t have been easy. Alas, we were waiting a noticeable amount of time for our orders to be taken, plates to be cleared etc. however, I feel bad as it was just one waiter attending to everyone. The waiter said there is usually two waiters and it runs more smoothly. Don’t let that stop you from coming here though. If you want proper and superb food look no further. I’m even contemplating cancelling my other reservations and coming back here, that’s how good it is. ”
“ AT THE LEVEL OF THE FINEST RESTAURANTS An exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with a smile and impeccable attention. Although the restaurant was full, they kindly informed us that a table would soon be available and they kept their word promptly. The service was outstanding, attentive, professional, polite, and with that subtle intelligence that makes you feel looked after without ever being interrupted. It’s rare to find a team so balanced between attentiveness and respect for the dining experience. The menu was a delight, dishes rooted in local flavors, crafted with finesse and a touch of creativity. We tried the prawn croquettes, the leeks, and the artichokes with pine nuts every dish was superb. The value for money is excellent. This may not be a restaurant in a big city, but it truly stands at the level of the finest and most prestigious establishments. Congratulations to the chef and the whole team for creating such a refined and enjoyable experience. We’ll definitely be back. ”
“ Incredible food and very well-balanced Spanish/Asian fusion dishes, will definitely return. We were a big group of 10+ and the team took care of us very well, with perfect suggestions, quick service and a very warm atmosphere. Everyone loved the good quality wine too! ”
“ Came here twice this week (it was so good we had to come again). Service was excellent. The two guys didn't stop all night and were very attentive to us and everyone else. Food was out of this world and full of flavour, top quality and very reasonably priced - clear to see why it's so busy... and on that note I'd HIGHLY recommend booking online first as we noticed many people arrive looking for tables but being sent away. *booking form is in Spanish but quite easy to work out what details they are asking for if you dont speak it. Thank you for a great couple of nights ”
