11 andalusian places in Málaga we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Málaga | Andalusian across every city.

Andalusian cooking in Málaga stretches from bodega tradition to a Michelin star without leaving the old town. El Pimpi keeps its rambling Calle Granada rooms open past midnight for sweet wine and tapas, Mesón Mariano has plated its famous artichokes since 1988, and El Chinitas serves fried fish in a tiled dining room just off Calle Larios. The modern line belongs to Dani Carnero: Kaleja rebuilds Andalusian home cooking over live coals for its one-star menu, La Cosmo runs his Bib Gourmand open kitchen behind the cathedral, and El Tapeo de Cervantes is the tiny tavern where he first cooked.
