Buen descubrimiento, con raciones generosas, una ensaladilla rusa muy buena y abundante. Las gildas excelentes. Las alcachofas espectaculares, deliciosas. El tartar de salmón de los mejores que he comido. Muy buen servicio. Las mesas un poco pequeñas, por poner una pega.

Un lugar súper bonito, con un servicio excelente, muy amables y la comida exquisita ✨

En pleno centro de Málaga, a escasos pasos de la catedral. Atención impecable y comida muy rica. Recomiendo las croquetas de setas y trufa, la tostada de puerros y queso brie espectacular!! No dudaré en repetir

Que bonito lugar y que gran profesional nos atendió Micole, un encanto. Nos recomendó unos platos deliciosos, bien servidos y muy bien decorados. El ambiente del salón super acogedor, una cena inolvidable. Repetiremos. Gracias por todo!! 100% recomendado si vienes a Málaga.

Una exquisita variedad de tapas a un excelente precio. Illari Vinos y Tapas es un lugar fantástico para disfrutar de vinos y tapas de calidad. La selección de vinos es impresionante y el personal conoce muy bien cada etiqueta. Las tapas son deliciosas y creativas, destacando los pinchos y la sangría casera que es excepcional. El ambiente es moderno y acogedor, perfecto para una tarde de vinos. Los precios son muy razonables. La ubicación es céntrica cerca de la calle Strachan. Perfecto para descubrir nuevos vinos mientras tapeas. Muy recomendable para los amantes del buen vino.

Espectacular! Nos ha encantado! Tanto la atención de las chicas como el servicio y la comida!. Hemos pedido ensaladilla! Súper rica jugosa, las bravas, el tartar y la berenjena. Esta última increíble de lo mejor que he probado! Tienen pan sin gluten además! Y tengo que decir que es de los más ricos que me han puesto en un restaurante! Gracias chicas! Volveremos;)

Different tapas and local dish options are available. Tuna pintxos is the best!

This place serves amazing wine and really nice dishes, we enjoyed it a lot, especially cannelloni was sooo nice, that we came again.

We have come here many times and illari never disappoints: always very fresh and delicious food. Plus the restaurant itself is a place you like to stay with sympathetic staff and cozy interior. Can highly recommend when visiting Málaga! The boquerones en vinagre are a must 😍

We came here for dinner, glad that we made a reservation as this place could get quite busy. We ordered a couple of starter and a few pintxo. The pintxo were all very tasty, I had the anchovies, red pepper and egg, that was good, my favourite was the grilled tuna tummy. For starter, we had the red pepper stuffed with spider crab, the sauce was very tasty, but to be honest, I couldn't quite taste the crab. The pork cheek was really really good, I'd highly recommend this dish if you like pork, it melts in your mouth and the sauce was packed with flavour. We originally wanted to order another salad as starter, but we asked if that'd be too much and the waiter said yes, and he was right, we really appreciated his honest opinion. The whole meal came to less than 60 euro (including 2 soft drinks and a glass of sangria!), we couldn't quite believe it. Great value for money for sure!

This is a great place to have tapas near the cathedral. We had the ensalada rusa, tortilla espanola, and fried cod fish. Each were very tasty. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch. It is in a great location and good atmosphere.

Couldn't be better. Here I had the best food during my stay in Málaga.

Very nice place! My husband and I come here often to enjoy the patatas bravas y croquetas🥰

My new go to when visiting Málaga. We have had breakfast and lunch here. Superb on both occasions. Stop by if you have the chance. Very close to Plaza de la Marina and Calle Larios, right next to the Room Mate Valeria and Only You hotels. No regrets!

Generally, I walk past eateries that are not busy when their neighbours are full of patrons. What a wonderful surprise was waiting for us when we had lunch at Illari! The food was simple, superb, fresh and presented proudly. It was a blistering hit day in Málaga and iced cold water was in ample free supply. Our standout dishes were the Burrata salad (quality of the cheese and taste of the tomatoes) and the roasted aubergine with nut crumble.

Brilliant little tapas bar, a short stroll from the cathedral in the heart of the old town. Everything we ate here was fresh, tasty and served up pretty quickly by a fun, engaging staff. Pintxos are available and were outstanding also. So good we ate here a couple of times. Highly recommended.

Probably one of the best restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of visiting while traveling in a very long time. Everything was absolutely perfect — from the sangria, full of flavor and balance, to the main dishes, and all the way to the cheesecake, which might just be the best I’ve ever had. We picked this place somewhat randomly, right by the corner of Malaga’s cathedral, and we have no regrets at all. If we ever come back to Malaga, we’ll return here without a second thought to enjoy another amazing meal. The service was flawless — warm, attentive, and professional. A true gem not to be missed!

The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. The calamari was the best I’ve had in Spain, and the Mediterranean smoothie was great. Oh, and try the white wine from Málaga- that was great, too. The service was pretty good, but at the end they were really trying to push us out the door and taking our drinks before we had finished. Clean bathroom and comfortable seating. No AC, but it was cool inside on a hot day, and it’s just out of the way of the busiest streets, so it wasn’t super crowded.

Szymon Klimczak

Amazing! Delicious food, great service, delicious wines. The quality you’re getting for the price is outstanding! Make a reservation and get ready for a feast!

Very easy recommendation. These were the best tapas we’ve had during our visit in Malaga. Take notice that the tapas here are not the usual tapas you’ll see at other (more touristy) spots, also being a bit more refined which is reflected in the price being a bit higher but being very fair. The highlight for us was the salmon with avocado and mango and the (we think) actually homemade ham croquettes. Finally the service was very good and attentive, even when it was very busy and the wines were cheap and enjoyable.

We came here after carefully reviewing the reviews 😉 The place is sweet. I got vegetarian options. I ordered a Spanish omelette, cannellini with beef, spice potatoes and a leek sandwich. Well, everything was just right. The staff is generous too.

Maria Northcott

Order the bikini toast! I could end the review right there, that’s how good it is. All their food is good but the bikini toast, which is crunchy bread with melted Brie, local ham and truffle oil, is the most delicious. Also, as a tea drinker I appreciate how hot and pure the water is, it makes for an excellent cup of tea. Service is fast, friendly and professional. It’s the perfect breakfast cafe, we went every day of our 5-day stay while in Málaga.

Great food, great service. Beef stuffed cannelloni was perfect, great balance of flavors. Loved the artichokes and the way it was plated, looks cute but also tastes good. Pork cheek was soft and the potatoes on the side were very well fried. The cheese croquettes ( with goat cheese ) were really tasty and went really well with the jam. When it comes to fried anchoives, I had better versions. Cheesecake was made from goat's cheese and had a really nice flavor, not one I am used to but tasted delicious. The only issue was the very small table we had for 3 people. We really had to maneuver to save space for our cutlery. Overall a good experience.

Se come genial, es un sitio bonito y céntrico. Increíble los mejillones tigres, y mucho vino para elegir. El personal muy amable aunque tardaron mucho en tomarnos nota, y servir la bebida, no estaba muy lleno el local. Pero bueno, nada importante. Buena experiencia, volveremos.

Las camareras fueron muy agradables. El pitxo de atún no era el mejor, pero las bravas y la carrillera estaban espectaculares junto a la tarta de limón

Hemos ido a cenar, un local tranquilo y con buena decoración, muy adecuado para ir en pareja. La atención ha sido muy buena. Hemos pedido ensaladilla, mucha mayonesa para mi gusto, pero estaba rica. Además pedimos mollete de ternera, muy rico. Pedimos tortilla que estaba jugosa y bastante buena. Para finalizar croquetas de bacalao que están bastante ricas. Lo mejor la tarta de Queso! Obligado pedirla! Por todo ello lugar recomendable, además con muy poca cola!

Buen sitio de cerca a la catedral para comer y a un precio razonable. Reservamos por TheFork (día de encendido de luces y el centro a full). Ojo. La cocina cierra a las 10:45. Nosotros reservamos a las 10:30 y no se avisa antes. Por suerte el servicio fue bastante rápido. Aunque parezca un sitio para turista y que te va a costar el dinero, sorpresa: no. Y esta bien. Probamos bastantes platos y sobró bastante comida, pese a ello, fueron 97€ entre 4 personas. Los bikini estaban realmente buenos y son grandes. Las bravas estaban muy buenas, son grandes, pero en el fondo quedaba con un caldo, supongo que porque la salsa llevaba rato echada; las croquetas normalitas; los pintxos de cochinita estaban buenos aunque el aguacate algo fuerte, sería por el vinagre o el limón; el paté, personalmente, estoy seguro que es puramente por gusto personal. Las chicas fueron muy rápidas y amables en la atención. Lo recomiendo.

We went in the late afternoon/early evening (15-16:00 ish). It was empty besides us, very pleasant atmosphere, open to the outside. The food is cheap and portions are decently large, depending on what you order. You can easily get by spending less than 10 euros. The waiter was very kind and patient, despite some mishaps with our family's kids. We found the food decent but not amazing, but take that with a grain of salt; we have very little experience with tapas and Spanish cuisine in general. Our favorite dishes were probably the Spanish omellete tapa and the fried anchovies.

Aki Ruisniemi

Not bad but not exceptional either. Sardines and eggplant were great, octopus and bravas were mediocre. Good service and the place was not busy at all on Tuesday night.

Service and atmosphere were good, great location. The food was hit and miss, we got a bunch of tapas, some good, some not so good. Our croquettes most of the bar co was great, but one or two were cold inside. A couple of things were covered in sauce, so felt a little sickly, maybe sauce should be separate. Also the patatas bravas came right at the end, would rather have the first so we can have it with other tapas rather than a big load of potatoes at the end of the meal.
