If you'd like the review in Spanish, please let me know…read more Malaga has great seafood, though this place may be the best. The material is the best we've come across, and that's because the owner is a former boat captain with umpteen years of experience on the sea. He knows where his seafood is coming from, what the quality is, and he only has the best which means no frozen boxes from far away which sadly makes up much of the product on the coast. What's more, he's a student of the sea, literally, and is working to fish in a sustainable way. This is how an operation should run and the end result is delicious. The location is spacious and light, right on the port, floor to ceiling windows and a small changing menu (necessary for the changes in ingredients available). 5 stars, absolutely worth the trip, from Malaga, from wherever. Go here, ask what is good, then sit back and enjoy. Bravo

Thirdly, people who work there are very nice, our waiter didn't give only good recommendation but advice regarding sightseeing around there. I had the best memory here. I don't speak Spanish but the waiter explained the menu for me kindly. My favorite are assorted fried seafood (sorry i don't know the Spanish name) and grilled white fish. The desert was amazing too. I highly recommend to stop by!

I stopped by when I was traveling with my wife showing her my home country. The place is amazing!!!…read moreIt was a recommendation from a group of locals we met the night before. My recommendation is to follow the suggestions of the server. Our server name was Esteban and we loved every single plate that he offered us. The quality of seafood was incredible, that is what freshness taste like! La Ballena Azul is a great memory in our beloved vacation in South spain.

Service was attentive and friendly. We didn't have a reservation and got lucky with the last open table for two...so make a reservation! But if you eat later, say after 9:00pm, you should be able get a table. Everything on menu looked fantastic; it was difficult deciding what to order: -FREE: Amuse-bouche...Spanish sushi! Had a unique sauce to it...lovely! -Grilled fresh asparagus in charcoal and shavings of Manchego cheese with basil oil...the amazing sauce made this the best asparagus I've ever had. -Grilled Turbot loin with orange, seafood and almonds cream..another incredible sauce! It went well with the fish, shrimp, clams and scallops. -Mediterranean Sole grilled in charcoal with black garlic alioli...no special sauce, but still delicious and cooked perfectly.. Wife was happy. -Sopa de chocolate blanco...for dessert, a green fluffy cake resting in warm melted white chocolate...creative and fabulous! -Wine...can't remember exactly, but we got a nice bottle for under €20. I don't remember the exact prices, but according to my credit card statement the entire meal was €72, which is great value considering this was nearly fine dining. Not sure if I'll ever visit Nerja again, but if I do I'm definitely dining here again. TRAVEL TIP: Don't mix this up with "Restaurante Pacomari"...I think its the same owner's casual and traditional restaurant but the food and service aren't nearly as good.

We visited the restaurant at night for dinner and ordered drinks upon arrival. Our welcome tapa was fried Squid which was a big portion for free, but it wasn't very good a bit too salty and greasy. The drinks (Tinto de verano and beers) were all good and priced reasonably. For the main course we had the seafood paella for two which was excellent. There was no gluten free option for the bread so we ended up skipping on the bread and being sad instead. Overall it was a very authentic experience with excellent Paella and tapas. I would recommend it.

But pretty good food regardless. Free tapa was fried shrimp in _heavy_ batter, I preferred the mixed fried fish plate with a much thinner batter. It was fried just right to keep the fish crispy and fresh-tasting, without the batter getting too sticky or greasy. Shrimp omelette was okay but nothing too special. Shrimp and artichokes was in a nice lemon-garlic sauce but the artichokes weren't the freshest.

My friend who Lives nearby noted they are that big. It was a very hearty salad and had lettuce, corn, tuna, tomatoes, carrots, and beets in it. It could have been a meal at lunchtime- especially if that was half. Then we had my favorite dish which is the friend small fish- I forget the name. I got it several times throughout my trip but this place was extra delicious. I loved them!! We ordered fresh fish for our main course. They brought it out to show before cooking it. My friend pointed out the fire pit next to the restaurant where they do the cooking. The fish was amazing. So yummy!!
