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

Without a doubt, this was the best meal we had in Spain. The interior is modern and elegant but…read morenot pretentious; you're still in a beach town with t-shirt wearing tourists. 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.

Fried calamari was drenched in fryer oil and literally had no crunch; soggy to put it very lightly. Pepper shaker top fell off and essentially made our salad inedible and waiter refused to assist or bring replacement salad or anything. Two positives: price was average and seafood seemed fresh.

We've visited this lovely beachside restaurant several times over the different seasons. Sometimes…read morefor drinks after a day on the beach and sometimes for dinner. Once when our car had got stuck in the sand we waited here,with a comforting cup of coffee, for the tow truck to arrive . It's a great place to enjoy good food and a warm welcome. The menu is typically Spanish with lots of choice of fish dishes and always a "special". We were there last night and had a great fritura de pescado which they offer in half portions for the less greedy (it was still huge!). The ensalada mixta is good and the chips are perfect. The prices are very reasonable and the service is great - warm and welcoming and very efficient. The TV adds to the feeling of being in a typically Spanish restaurant and the wood burning stove made the place feel warm and cosy on a March night with the wind blowing high outside - the only problem was the occasional waft of smoke through the room! Will definitely be here again in the summer for more good food.

The veggie pizza was spot on, and the eggplant ravioli was sooooo good. The limoncello spritz and Campari spritz were perfectly made.

Where to begin? First, we were told we can only be seated if we promise to order an entree for each…read moreperson (2 adults, 2 children, no sharing) otherwise there were no tables available. No problem, we were all hungry, although that's a weird and rude way welcome new guests. Once seated, the rudeness and grumpiness persisted from ordering to paying. But what about the food and drinks? Worst meal we've had in Spain, by far. The "sangria" was sugar water and the food was less appetizing than wet canned dog food. We left with a few bites taken in search of another place to eat. Avoid this place at all costs - the only reason they're still open is on account of their location and views.

Awesome tapas bar that specializes in fresh, local seafood. My favorite was the eggplant with the…read morebalsamic glaze drizzled on top and the fried mini calamari.

The friendly staff were eager to seat us, despite afternoon food service closing up soon. €4.50 Half portion of steamed mussels...fresh, simple, delcious, and cheap! €5 Half portion of razor clams...all my seafood lover friends told me I had to try these weird clams. They were just okay, the wife didn't like them at all. I'm not sure if they were cooked improperly or not fresh, or maybe its just not for us. €3.50 Fried Eggplants...I forget to eat enough vegetables on my travels, luckily these were delicious! Then again, what isn't delicious after being deep fried? €2.20 glasses of wine...gotta love Spain! At the end of our meal, one of the waiters came by give some free apertifs, gracias! Not sure what they were, but I'm not one to turn down free alcohol. Visit #2: TAPAS!!! Just get yourself a house wine for about €2.50ish, and you can choose a free tapas from about about a half dozen choices, including seafood! I got some deep fried anchovies, simple but delicious. I didn't but, but yo could multiply this by four, and be drunk and have a light dinner meal! Just note the free tapas is only in the bar area, not the full service dining areas. Besides the weird razor clams, which I didn't like or dislike, and might have been the culprit for a sick wife later on, El Pulguilla is definitely worth a visit to satisfy your seafood cravings.
