Where to Eat in Málaga
5 places to eat in Málaga, spread across Alameda Principal, Calle Granada, beside the Roman theatre and El Palo, at the east end of the seafront, plus a few elsewhere. These are picked for what they cook rather than how they look, so a counter with four stools sits alongside a dining room.
Between them they cover Vino dulce de Málaga, Ajoblanco, Porra antequerana and Espeto de sardinas, plus 2 more of the city's dishes — each listing tells you what that kitchen is actually known for, which is rarely the whole menu.
4 of them sit in the budget tier, so eating well here costs less than the guidebooks imply.
