These are the best restaurants in the province of Málaga for eating good rice.

In restaurants, there are many dishes that showcase the culinary expertise behind the scenes. Some typical dishes like Russian salad or croquettes, but also others requiring more finesse and skill like rice dishes, where timing is a science and styles vary widely. Today, we discuss these rice dishes, recommended by the Repsol Guide, highlighting some restaurants in the province of Málaga known for their variety of rice dishes. Let's explore them.

Lacaliza - Solete

• Address: Urb. Cueva del Tesoro, 16, 29720 Málaga

With a Repsol Solete, we find Lacaliza, one of the top restaurants in Rincón de la Victoria with stunning views. It comes highly recommended by chef José Carlos García, "overlooking the Mediterranean with a delightful terrace to enjoy, unhurriedly, the best cocktails in Rincón de la Victoria." The Repsol Guide includes it among the select restaurants for ordering various types of rice dishes. They are currently hosting their Rice Days event until June 27, offering choices like mixed, Iberian, vegetable, and black rice for 9.50 per person.

Del Candado Golf - Recommended

• Address: Calle Golf del Candado, 2, 29018 Málaga (Málaga)

The restaurant 'Recommended' by the Repsol Guide has recently opened its rice season. "Updated traditional cuisine. Rice dishes and tuna are the stars of the menu. Very pleasant terrace in summer," they say about Del Candado Golf restaurant, which carries the stamp of Javier Hernández, where they obviously recommend his award-winning Russian salad, as well as his red tuna tartare and rice dishes in paella.

Amador - Recommended

• Address: Calle Bandaneira, 6, 29190 Málaga (Málaga)

"Perched on their vantage point, with the city and coast at their feet, chef Amador and his brother Alexander craft a signature cuisine inspired by traditional recipes. The artistic heritage of their mother, Dutch painter Irene van Vlijmen, is evident in many details of the restaurant and its cuisine. Located in the Villa Guadalupe hotel, the dining room offers a beautiful panorama as does its terrace," they comment about Amador restaurant, another 'Recommended' by the guide, where they suggest his lamb shoulder and organic artichokes confit in AOVE, served with a ham sauce. The highlight, their black rice with monkfish and squid.

Berebere - Solete

• Address: Paseo Marítimo de Pte., s/n, 29740 Torre del Mar, Málaga

It was one of the Soletes awarded by chefs in Málaga, this one from Benito Gómez to Berebere, about which he asserts that "it's a cool place, where everything you eat is delicious, you're treated wonderfully, and everything runs like clockwork," located in Torre del Mar and whose paella with Joselito pork is pure flavor.

Lobito de Mar - Sol Repsol

• Address: Avenida Bulevar Alfonso von Hohenlohe, 178 29602 Marbella (Málaga)

Speaking of higher accolades, awarded a Sol Repsol, we find Lobito de Mar by Dani García, a place where the chef "recalls the most popular and maritime aspects of his memory," and they detail a simple recommendation: "Don't miss the skewers, fried fish, seafood, and rice dishes in a beautiful venue with a bar, many corners, and a large wine cellar. Among their rice dishes, they praise his chicken rice.

Beluga - Sol Repsol

• Address: Plaza de las Flores, 3 29005 Málaga

And lastly, one of the most recognized for its rice dishes, with another Sol Repsol, Beluga. "The proposal from Diego René is filled with nods to the coast and, among tributes to the Albufera, the pasture, the sea bed, and the island of Tabarca, the section on rice (a banda, country style, cheek, Iberian pork, duck…) is seen as a cultural legacy," the Repsol Guide reveals.
