Honest Greens to open its first restaurant in Málaga’s Soho district

Honest Greens is preparing to arrive in Málaga with the opening of its first restaurant in the city. The healthy dining chain will open in the Soho district, specifically on Calle Tomás Heredia, on the corner with Calle Barroso.

The arrival of the brand adds a new food concept to one of Málaga’s most transformed neighbourhoods, where restaurants, hotels, cultural spaces and new businesses increasingly share the same streets.

For now, the company has not announced an official opening date.

Honest Greens chooses Soho for its Málaga debut

The location will place the chain in a particularly central area.

Calle Tomás Heredia is only a few minutes from the historic centre, the port, Muelle Uno and Málaga Centro-Alameda train station.

Soho has also strengthened its gastronomic profile in recent years, with new openings and concepts aimed at both residents and visitors.

Honest Greens will add to that mix with a model focused on fresh dishes, seasonal ingredients and fast service.

A concept based on Real Food

Honest Greens builds its philosophy around what the company itself describes as Real Food.

The brand says its dishes are prepared from scratch every day and without preservatives or unnecessary artificial ingredients.

Its menus make extensive use of vegetables, grains, legumes, seeds and different sources of protein, with a strong Mediterranean influence.

The company also places importance on ingredient sourcing and says it prioritises responsibly sourced produce and local suppliers whenever possible.

Garden Bowls and Market Plates

Two of the most recognisable categories on the menu are the Garden Bowls and Market Plates.

Garden Bowls combine vegetables, grains, sauces and other ingredients in a bowl format.

Market Plates allow customers to build more complete meals by combining different preparations and proteins.

The menu is complemented by sides, sharing dishes, sauces, desserts and breakfast options at locations that open earlier in the day.

Vegetarian and plant-based options

One of the elements that has helped Honest Greens expand is the range of alternatives available within the same menu.

The company offers vegetarian, plant-based and gluten-free options, alongside dishes that include meat or other animal proteins.

The idea is to allow people with different eating preferences to share a meal without having to choose completely different types of restaurant.

That flexibility fits particularly well with Málaga’s increasingly international population and visitor profile.

Juices, kombucha and speciality coffee

The concept goes beyond food.

Honest Greens has also developed a drinks offering that reflects the brand’s wider philosophy.

Depending on the location, customers may find juices, kombucha, infusions and speciality coffee.

The company has even developed its own coffee concept, Honest Beans, which is available in some of its venues.

The aim is for restaurants to work across different parts of the day rather than only during traditional lunch or dinner hours.

A brand founded in Barcelona in 2017

Honest Greens was founded in Barcelona in 2017.

The project was created by Christopher, Rasmus and Ben, three founders with backgrounds linked to restaurants, professional kitchens and entrepreneurship.

According to the company, they shared the idea of creating a restaurant where eating quickly did not necessarily mean relying on highly processed food.

Before launching the concept, they spent several years working with producers, chefs and ingredients inspired especially by Mediterranean cuisine.

From the Mediterranean to several European cities

From Barcelona, the company has gradually expanded its presence.

It now operates restaurants in several Spanish cities and has also moved into international markets.

Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia are among its main locations in Spain, while the brand is also present in European cities including Lisbon, Porto, London and Paris.

The Málaga opening will represent another step in that expansion.

Fast service without becoming traditional fast food

One of the central ideas behind the model is to combine speed with an experience closer to a conventional restaurant.

The dishes are designed to be served efficiently, but the brand also creates spaces where customers can sit down, meet others and stay longer.

Music, interior design and shared tables are part of that strategy.

The aim is to sit somewhere between fast dining and the traditional restaurant experience.

Seasonal ingredients

Seasonality is another concept Honest Greens incorporates into its food philosophy.

The company adapts part of its offering according to which ingredients are available at different times of the year.

The idea is to work with produce when it is at its best and maintain a menu that can evolve throughout the seasons.

This also allows the brand to introduce new dishes while keeping its best-known formats.

Málaga adds another opening to its changing food scene

The arrival of Honest Greens comes at a time of significant movement in Málaga’s restaurant sector.

The city centre, Soho and the port area continue to attract new restaurants and dining concepts aimed at an increasingly varied audience.

The mix of local residents, students, workers, tourists and international residents has increased demand for restaurants that move beyond more traditional formats.

Honest Greens fits directly into that trend, with flexible service throughout the day and a menu designed for different eating preferences.

When will Honest Greens Málaga open?

For now, this remains the main unanswered question.

The location of the future restaurant is already known, but Honest Greens has not yet publicly announced an opening date.

The venue will be located on Calle Tomás Heredia, on the corner with Calle Barroso, in Málaga’s Soho district.

Until the company confirms the final schedule, the opening will remain one of the city centre’s upcoming new restaurant arrivals.
