About the neighbourhood: Distrito Centro

Málaga's historic core, bounded by the Guadalmedina river to the west, the port to the south and the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro to the east. The district contains the Cathedral, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, plus the main shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios. Inside Distrito Centro sit the well-known sub-areas of Centro Histórico, Soho, La Merced and Lagunillas. The area is almost entirely pedestrianised, served by Metro Atarazanas and the Málaga–Centro Alameda rail station.

Excelent choice for dinner or lunch! The staff is very friendly and polite. We had the seafood paella and it was the best we had in Malaga so far! Very flavorful, rich in seafood and was not fat or oily. Great choice just next to the touristic area of the town!

Super nice place, delicious food and local wines. We tried tuna tartare which was amazing and for the main we had seafood paella which also was super delicious. Chardonnay from Tierra Malaga accompanied so good the dishes we took. We paid 71€ for 2 people, for the tuna tartare(22€), seafood paella(15€/person), one bottle of wine-18€ and one water.

Great restaurant with excellent service, paella was quickly made and it was delicious. Gyozas were also great. Even though we ordered meals that do not contain peanuts, the waiter checked once again and made sure that the kitchen knows about the allergies.
Would come here again 10/10
The waiter (unfortunately do not know the name, he has black beard) that worked was very friendly, chill and helpful and made a lot of jokes. He even gave us candy at the end, 100/10 for him

Lovely little restaurant, very down to earth and relaxed feel. Staff were very friendly and food very tasty. We had a couple of tapas to start and then the mixed paella which we loved! Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food.

We ordered the mixed paella for two and it said it would take around 30-50 minutes but it was already done after 20. It was very good. The mini squid tapas was also great. Good service for fair prices
