I never expected a restaurant to be the highlight of a vacation.
If you find yourself even remotely close to Mijas or Malaga, you HAVE to go to this place. Worth rearranging your whole schedule for.
It's on top of a hill in Mijas, and I would never have found this gem if it wasn't for a recommendation I got in Malaga.
From the second you walk in, you just know it's going to be good. The smell from the grill.. packed with locals, and then there's this guy... the owner; basically he's the Grill Dude. He doesn't just cook. The chef commands that grill. Mesmerizing stuff.
The eggplant with honey. Crispy, sweet, you'll be fighting over the last pieces. Prawns in pil-pil arrived,soaked in garlicky, spicy oil, we ended up mopping it up with bread, no shame. Ribs? man, the ribs. Smokey, fall-off-the-bone. And just when you think you can't eat another bite, they bring out the steak. No words can describe that steak. Best steak I've had in years.
I can't praise this place enough.
Remarkable, Michelin stuff. read more
