Frequently asked questions about restaurants in Malaga

Absolutely. Byoko, Meet Vegano, Reviv and La Sociedad Herbívora are popular spots among vegetarians and vegans. Vegan options can also be found at many tapas restaurants, although sometimes you have to expect some creativity.

Byoko, Brunchit, Santa Coffee and Next Level Specialty Coffee are top addresses for a fancy breakfast, good coffee or a sumptuous brunch. Expect smoothie bowls, croissants, avocado toast and more.

Go to Antigua Casa de Guardia (since 1840!), a traditional bodega where you drink sweet or dry wines from the barrel at the counter. Los Patios de Beatas is also a fine wine bar with good food to go with it.

For groups, Casa Lola, La Taberna del Pintxo Larios (pintxos!) and Cambara are great. Here you can easily share together, have drinks and long dinners in a cozy location.

At Grand Café Gezellig in downtown Malaga, watch live Formula 1 with Dutch commentary. Soccer matches are also broadcast here - ideal for Dutch people in town!

For a small budget, you will be fine at Casa Lola, Spago's (fresh pasta), La Taberna del Pintxo or at the Mercado Atarazanas market where you can eat tapas or fish for a few euros.

For fresh paella with a good view, Cambara on Muelle Uno is a must. Something more traditional? Try Donde Carlos downtown for a simple but tasty version.

Many restaurants in Malaga are very kid-friendly, especially places with spacious terraces such as El Pimpi, Granier (early breakfasts) or La Canasta on Plaza de la Constitución. Spago's is also popular with families.

Casa Lola, El Pimpi and Madeinterranea are all located right in the historic center, close to attractions such as the Roman theater and the cathedral.

Head to the fishing district of Pedregalejo, and slide into El Caleño for grilled sardines from the barbecue, served on the beach. It doesn't get more authentic.
