Three restaurants, two taverns, and a Michelin-starred Japanese spot in Málaga that we can't understand how you haven't discovered yet

The gastronomic level of restaurants, tabernas, and bars in Málaga is extremely high. It is even difficult for those who are food enthusiasts and who can afford the luxury of trying a new place every so often to keep up with the many new options that appear in the province's offerings. From La Farola, we like to make it easy for everyone, which is why we are reviewing three restaurants, two taverns, and a Michelin-starred Japanese place that we cannot believe you do not know.

Arxiduna

Located in Plaza Ochavada in Archidona, Arxiduna has earned a spot in the 'Recommended' category by the Repsol Guide. This venue combines historic architecture with a gastronomic proposal that emphasizes local identity. The restaurant's chef brings a contemporary perspective to classic dishes, using local and seasonal products. The grill kitchen plays a leading role in a menu that is constantly evolving, reflecting a creative restlessness in harmony with the surroundings. Additionally, it is a pet-friendly venue, where you can bring your pet.

Beluga

In the heart of Plaza de las Flores, the restaurant Beluga has recently been added to the list of Recommended by the Repsol Guide and received the Sol Repsol last March. Chef Diego René's approach is serious and meticulous, without unnecessary frills. The elaborate rice dishes, quality meats, and a tasting menu that synthesizes the best of his cuisine define the experience. In an elegant and calm environment, this restaurant is establishing itself as a space where technique and product come together, a must-visit in Málaga.

Promesa

The restaurant Promesa, located in the Hotel MS Maestranza, was recognized as the best restaurant in Málaga in 2023 by the Málaga Gastronomic Academy. This distinction reinforces the identity of a recent project that has positioned itself among the big names in the city. Its proposal relies on careful decoration, a refined menu, and high-level execution, making it a place to consider within the capital's scene for special occasions.

Taberna Uvedoble

On Alcazabilla street, very close to the Roman Theater, is Taberna Uvedoble, a contemporary classic of Malaga's tapas scene. This establishment has earned its reputation without the need for major external recognitions. Its menu includes reinterpretations of classics like truffled tortilla or a Russian salad that competed for the title of Spain's best. Also notable are the toasted black noodles with small squids, an example of a kitchen that moves between tradition and creativity with ease. From La Farola, we never tire of recommending it.

Zury

With a Solete as its calling card, Zury has established itself as one of the taverns with the most personality in the historic center. Located at Santiago street, 4, its proposal combines good products, a fun menu, and a cozy atmosphere. The meatballs on its menu have become one of its most recognized dishes, within an offering where quality-price and a friendly style connect with both locals and visitors.

Nintai

In the realm of Asian cuisine, Nintai represents excellence. Led by renowned hotelier Marcos Granda, this restaurant has earned a Michelin Star, positioning itself among the country's references in Japanese cuisine. The experience revolves around its current menu, Ensö (€249), offering a sensory journey to Japan without leaving Málaga. Attention to detail, technical precision, and respect for Japanese tradition define an exclusive proposal.
