Great location in the centre of Malaga city-full of atmosphere with seating both inside and out. Menu to suit everybody from tapa to slap up meal. Service very good and a great place to people watch !!

Worth a visit just for the history. Full of Flamenco dancers and singers of the past. Their photographs line the walls with known celebrities. Very friendly staff. Good selection of wines and nibbles. A nice outdoor area and various selection of "rooms".

I wish I could write a bad review so that this place stays semi hidden and not completely overrun by tourists but the food is too good to have the world share in it! At the end of the day, to sit and savor the flavours erupting from the dishes they serve should eliminate any poor feelings anyone might have... More

Cannot fault the ambience, food and wine. Can be quite busy but its a place not to be missed. The seating area outside is great for watching the world go by.
