Precioso chiringuito que combina a la perfección lo clásico y la calidad, con un ambiente y servicio de estrella. Un detalle que cambien los platos y que pongan pan de rosca. Comer con esas vistas es un lujo que pocos restaurantes se pueden permitir. Calamares y presa alucinantes. La ensaladilla está buena y todo muy acertado calidad/precio.

Fuimos tres personas, pedimos todo para compartir y todo estaba en su punto y de buena calidad. El personal muy atento y un servicio excelente. Buena relación calidad precio. La torrija de brioche totalmente recomendable.

El Cabra has become one of my favourite spots for a weekend lunch. The seafood is excellent and the rice dishes are always a good choice. I strongly recommend the black rice, it’s full of flavour and perfectly cooked every time. The location is beautiful, right by the sea, and the view really makes the whole experience even better. It’s a relaxed place, but still feels special. Sitting outside when the weather is nice is just perfect. The service is always excellent. Everyone is kind, friendly and helpful, which makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. If you’re in Málaga and looking for great seafood with a view, this is definitely a place to try 🏝️

Extremely friendly service and incredibly fresh food. Everything tasted amazing — truly one of the best places we visited in Málaga. Highly recommended!

John Ryan

Excellent service from friendly and experienced staff. Food is great, local cuisine .. recommend the patatas and fried egg, simple but delicious. Good selection of wine and the beer is cool.

What a brilliant food experience we had here at El Cabra, we came here to try the local espetos, but we were surprised to find ourselves eating at an upmarket seafront restaurant, the quality of the fresh seafood was outstanding. We had the best red snapper I've ever had, and also, the service was as professional as it gets. You have to take the quick trip along the coast if you're staying in Malaga to sample this fantastic restaurant!

The food here is great! If you like seafood and want authentic Spainish cuisine, come here. The salt baked fish was the best!

Jennifer Young

This is a fantastic find! Come here for espetos y paellas and a great experience! Highly recommend.

A great little restaurant right on the sea front with fresh sardines grilled on an open fire and plenty of other choices. The salad is the best I've ever had - avacado, apple, lettuce, walnuts, tomatoes, raisins... Good service too, and reasonable prices.

I ate in this place most satysfying Paella Marisco (called here Aroz "el Cabra") in a long time. And it was huge even in slavic standards. Truly fresh squids, octopus and many shrimps connected all together in creamy and rich sauce. This wasn't some dry- fried rice. It was taste of the sea and spices without any unnecessary, fatty addons. Thank you guys, great job chief :)

My family went there on my first day in Malaga and I can't stop thinking about it. Everything was great, but the ones that really did it for me were the red pepper salad, the eggplant and the balacao (fried cod). Amazing. Definitely stopping in again.

Great place by the sea. We mostly chose from the fresh fish on ice. The turbo fish was amaaaazing! :) The fresh fish is cooked on wood fire, on a stick :) All courses were great and the recommended local white wine was excellent! We were there in January and it wasn't the perfect sunny day, so we can only imagine how beatufil it is during summer. In the palm trees near by it's full of singing parrots :)

Our best dinner in Spain. The waiter gave us a table closer to the sea. Food was delicious, I recommend cuttlefish. Excellent wine.

En una playa de Málaga donde reinan los espetos, destaca El Cabra, un restaurante a pie del paseo marítimo. Es un local agradable, diáfano, confortable, con una decoración ligera y moderna pero muy ruidoso cuando hay muchas mesas ocupadas lo cuáles es,...siempre. No es la propiedad original, pero los actuales gestores han salbido refinar su cocina sin renunciar a la oferta de pescado y marisco fresco que lo hizo popular,, así como sus famosos espetos, que se alaboran en la playa, a la vista de los clientes. Ya no es un chiringuito,nsono en restaurante en letras mayúsculas con un servicio atento y profesional,, genero fresco y de calidad, una buena cocina , una amplia carta llena de cosas tentadoras, una surtida bidega y precios razonables. Tomamos ensaladilla (en Málaga es un must) que incorpora entre otras cosas cambas cristal; un delicioso y cremoso gazpacho; espeto de sardinas; gamba blanca, coquinas, unos calamares perfectos, boquerones a la lima ( un interesante cambio de registro; y raya y huevas de merluza fritas, dos platos que nunca había probado, pero que no me entusiasmaron. De postre, una interesante trata de queso payoyo ( que es original de Cádiz, no te Málaga aunque digan) con crema de pistacho, nada empalagoso, delicioso. Muy recomendable

Vinimos el viernes y hemos vuelto, hoy lunes, porque el trato del personal es fantástico. El viernes nos atendió Cristina y hoy María, ambas muy amables y profesionales. La comida está muy buena, lo que más hemos disfrutado es la ensaladilla y la tarta de queso. El resto estaba buenísimo, pero es que posiblemente es la mejor ensaladilla y la mejor tarta de queso que he comido nunca (hemos repetido hoy porque es que nos fliparon el otro día). El ambiente el primer día un poco regular porque había una despedida de soltero bastante ruidosa (es normal) y un par de mesas de unos constructores muy gritones. Hoy genial, mucho más tranquilo, supongo que porque es lunes. No es lo más barato del mundo, pero con la calidad que tiene en general está muy bien. Merece mucho la pena. Mejor reservar mesa por si acaso.

Fuimos 4 personas y pedimos todo para compartir, los platos muy ricos y las porciones son adecuadas. La ubicación es ideal, en frente de la playa y se ve el mar. Comimos muy ricos, y si bien la atención fue amable, tuvimos que pedir bebidas varias veces porque no nos traían, de hecho se olvidaron una cerveza y ya después de un rato decidimos no reclamarla. Lo mismo nos pasó con la cuenta y luego para pagar, le habremos pedido la cuenta al menos a 3 personas distintas y una vez que la dejaron nadie vino a cobrarnos. Fuera de esto, estuvo todo muy bien

Nice beach restaurant in the old fishermen neighborhood of Málaga. Service could have been a bit more attentive, but overall a good experience. Food is no nonsense and well cooked.

Fuimos dos días a comer, el primer día estuvo todo bien, la comida estaba buena y nos sirvieron amablemente por lo que aunque el precio era caro volvimos otro día para comer. El segundo día la experiencia fue bastante peor, la chica que nos sirvió fue bastante borde y la comida fue cara para la cantidad, además nos pusieron pan que no tocamos y se lo llevaron, cuando vimos que en la cuenta nos lo habían cobrado se lo dijimos a la camarera que de muy malas formas nos dijo que se cobra te lo comas o no (nos lo quitaron de la mesa por lo que tampoco nos lo pudimos comer o llevar...). El precio de las bebidas me parece desorbitado, 4€ por un tercio con tapa de aceitunas...

Located right on the main walk along the water front, this restaurant has its own grill on the beach where they grill your seafood. We had the sardines/espetos (which we found way too salty) and the prawns which were tasty. Both come with no sides so we had the potatoes (which were drenched in dressing). The staff didn't look like they enjoyed being there. Overall disappointing experience especially considering the price. The highlight was the grassy knoll across the restaurant with lots of green parrots.

Great location but the worst service yet in Malaga. The Calamari was overcooked and chewy. The sardines tasted great, but they forgot our order. Only after waiting a good 20 minutes and seeing some who arrived after us get theirs…did they suddenly remember. We were then left alone. We would have ordered more wine had they bothered to ask. The wait staff seemed more interested in talking with each other than taking care of us. We had to ask three different people before getting the bill. So much potential, but an experience that left us greatly disappointed.

Lo reformaron recientemente y el sitio está muy bonito. En cuanto a la comida.. Lo primero que llegó fue el espeto, que estaba muy bueno y sin duda fue lo mejor del día. Pedimos conchas finas, al ser martes el producto debería de ser fresco recién traído, pero no fue así. Las conchas estaban incomibles, probamos una y pedimos que las retirarán, tenían un olor desagradable desde lejos. Se disculparon, aun así lo siento como un intento por estafar a la gente, ya que se nota de lejos que no nos pusieron un plato fresco del día. Pedimos almejas salteadas, que es tal y como viene en la carta y en el cobro, pero nos pusieron chirlas( las cuales además de tener otro sabor, hay una clara diferencia de precio). Y aunque no estaban malas, vuelvo a sentirme estafada. Es un sitio al que había ido alguna vez y siempre he salido contenta, pero a partir de hoy no volveré ni lo recomendaré.

Deja mucho que desear. Para empezar, obviamente mejor reservar para asegurarse de tener mesa. Pero no es normal que con mesas vacías tengan a las personas de pie, esperando a limpiarlas mucho rato. Tuvo que recogerlas el muchacho de los espetos, porque la desorganización de los camareros era real. Cuando nos sentamos, te dejan en la mesa un buen rato, la bebida casi llegó a la vez que la comida. Respecto a la comida, nuestra camarera al revisar la comanda, vio que no estaba enviada, por lo que llego todo a la vez. Habíamos pedido una ensalada (literalmente pone en la carta: pimientos asados en nuestras brasas) y nos traen la bandeja de pimientos asados del mercadona, con cebolla por encima. No dije nada porque los camareros estaban demasiado atareados, pero nos sentimos estafados. Los espetos le faltaban un punto de cocción. Doy 2 estrellas por la paella, estaba muy sabrosa y una pinta increíble. Pero no volveré a este sitio, lo siento.

La acustica del lugar puede mejorar, habia una mesa muy gritona atras y no podiamos hablar. Ibamos a pedir una paella negra, de pulpo y calamar, pero al pedirsela a la moza no comento que no tenian mas. Esto lo podria haber comentado el mozo que dejo la carta al principio. Elegimos una paella de mariscos, ella nos comento que tardaban 20 minutos y que nos recomendaba pedir una entrada si estabamos con hambre, entonces pedimos unos calamers fritos. Al llegar la entrada, 5 minutos despues llego la paella y terminamos comiendo todo junto, lo cual no esta bueno. Los calamer, algunos estaban bien pero otros estaban chiclosos. La paella tenia pocos frutos de mar y el arroz no estaba al punto.

Cuando pides un tartar de atún por 24€ esperando un plato estrella y recibes una tapa, da para una tostada y media. Menos mal que iba solo!. Tuve que preguntar si se habían equivocado. En fin, el local, el ambiente y el servicio bien! Y el tartar estaba bueno, pero la cantidad….. dejó una foto para que se vea y pongo el post con el ánimo de que se den cuenta y rectifiquen.

Mind this restaurant...High prices but no service. The wanabes want to be exclusive but it's not professional at all!! Our fish was served without lemon the potatoes and veggies without a spoon, we asked for but never get lemons or a spoon . The steak we ordered medium well but was served completely raw, after another 10 minutes in the kitchen, my wife had to wait and watching me eat alone...the steak arrived as before completly raw. The service was in chaos..In the toilett was no toilett paper and now paper towels..this could have be ended in a disaster..Next door you get the same fish for the half price!

I write here my first review as usually I’m more empathetic of the waiters and restaurants with 20 years experience working in hospitality I fully understand the stress but yesterday was not a nice experience and reduced me to tears. I was recommended this place by a Spanish friend and saw it was busy (which is usually a good sign) so was excited to try out and get some good fish. My first approach with the waiter was asking about wines I asked for his advice and told him what I liked in my best Spanish possible in the end he bring me nothing what I had asked for but it was ok the wine was fine and I just assumed it was a misunderstanding. When he came to take my order for food I asked him his recommendations this is when I realised that it was not misunderstanding the waiter was quite clear on showing he had no interests in serving me with me let alone even look at me I pointed to some dishes and asked him what he thought but I received nothing back from him he couldn’t even make eye contact or smile( he looked like he don’t want to be there and very rude) In the end i felt rushed and that he was getting very impatient so I went with one dish that was practically potatoes with some eggs mixed through 1 fried egg and 2 small shrimps costing 24 euros and the portion was tiny absolutely shocking it was also pretty bland the dish nothing exciting about it at all, I then asked the waiter to order something else as I knew I would still be hungry after this dish and I was asking about dishes that were on tables beside me and he was telling me other dishes and I was asking I want the fried calamari she tried to take my dish away from me that was not even finished and began to get really rude with me to the point when he made me feel so unwelcome and that I was being treated bad because I am tourist and it made me quite upset. The situation was calmed with another lovely waiter I think his name is Christian he made me feel very welcome after all that and gave very good service how it should be. When I asked for the bill it took ages to receive everyone was continuing to ignore me and do other things in the end the first waiter who was rude bring the bill to only find the bread and olives were charged when I was not asked if I wanted them so I assumed they were for free. They did in the end take the charge of the bill so fair enough but this place is mega over priced bland food and terrible service. I do not recommend this place at all. But I will say thank you Christian as you were the only person who showed empathy and were so kind and treated me like a human and not just a tourist (even though we should not be judged where we come from)

Dreadful from start to finish. Went in with high hopes due to the clean appearance of the restaurant. Service appeared friendly but inattentive. Ordered beef paella. They brought us bread and olives which we assumed were complementary but were then added to the bill. When the paella arrived it was visually impressive, but both myself and my partner found it completely inedible due to being incredibly salty. When we raised this with the server they offered to change to another item on the menu. I chose monkfish, my partner octopus. The price was for the fish alone. There were no sides listed on the menu but the server advised us it would be an additional 6 euros each for vegetables and potatoes. When our replacement meals arrived they were edible but still over-salted. We were charged the full amount of our meal and an additional charge was given for the olives and bread that we had not asked for. The server was not helpful when we pointed out that the hidden costs of sides and "complementary olives" ought to be on the menu. Very poor experience, I would not recommend this restaurant in any sense!!!

We ordered a sea bream (dorada) and they came with a very small plate, with the fish already cleaned, as in the picture. It seemed odd as we come often and they usually bring the whole fish and we clean it ourselves, so we took a picture. They charged us €48 for it, the price of a 1kg fish. We obviously complained as what we were given was barely half of a 1kg fish. After we complained the waitress admitted that they normally bring the fish whole and customers cut it themselves, which, strange enough, today didn’t happen. The owner then changed the bill and reduced the kg by 200g, still not quite near what we ate. He also came to the table with a fish that according to him was the same size as what we ate, except it was double the size. Probably they split the meat of 1 fish into 2 plates, very disappointing. Not only they try to cheat you but also take the piss once you call them out. It goes without saying that we are foreigners.
