Where to eat in Málaga: a guide to the best restaurants

Málaga's food scene blends centuries-old Andalusian tradition with one of Spain's most exciting modern kitchens. From boquerones and espetos along the Pedregalejo seafront to creative tasting menus in Soho, the city rewards anyone willing to wander beyond the cruise-ship crowd. Use this directory to find restaurants by neighbourhood, cuisine, and price range — every listing includes hours, location, contact details and verified reviews.

If you only have a long weekend, hit Mercado de Atarazanas for breakfast, sit down to fried fish at El Palo, and end the night with rooftop tapas in the Centro Histórico. Vegetarians and vegans are well served too: Málaga has quietly become one of southern Spain's most plant-friendly cities. We update opening hours weekly and flag the spots locals actually queue for, not just the ones with the loudest signage.
