Málaga, the sun-drenched gem of the Costa del Sol, isn’t just about beaches and Picasso — it’s a paradise for foodies. From traditional Andalusian flavors to modern Mediterranean twists, here are three standout restaurants that will make your taste buds dance.

Located near Calle Marqués de Larios, Beluga offers refined Mediterranean cuisine with a creative edge. Chef Diego René crafts dishes like arroz a banda with Iberian pork and calamari in wine sauce that are both bold and delicate.
2. Los Mellizos
A seafood institution in Málaga’s Soho district, Los Mellizos is beloved for its fresh fish, paella, and chanquetes (tiny fried fish). The atmosphere is lively, the portions generous, and the flavors unmistakably coastal.
