Hemos venido por San Valentín por primera vez y hemos comido genial, la comida salió súper bien de tiempos y todo estaba riquísimo, especialmente la porra de naranja, el tartar, y la torrija que era fuera de carta. Sin duda volveremos y será pronto, es un sitio que se nota que tiene cariño puesto y todos los platos están pensados al detalle.

Mi sitio favorito de Torremolinos 🥰 La comida extraordinaria y la gente muy amable. Hay bastamte variedad sin pasarse, y siempre tienen algo fuera de carta. Además, en muchos platos tienen 2 tamaños, lo que te permite probar muchas cosas en el mismo día. No puedes irte sin probar el bacalao, las croquetas ni las torrijas.

Tapas muy curiosas y variadas. El local es muy acogedor y presenta una imagen limpia y ordenada. Empleados cercanos y rápidos. La calidad precio es genial y la verdad es que no se puede pedir más. Muy bien la mini pluma y el taco Camarón Volveremos a probar todos los platos.

Sitio de diez!!! Una tapas muy ricas y originales, el taco de camarón no se puede dejar de pedir. Imprescindible reservar con mucho tiempo. Y si hay que esperar merece la pena, este verano hemos ido tanto para comer como para cenar, y sin duda cuando volvamos repetiremos.

Muy buena experiencia en este restaurante de cocina elaborada. La comida estuvo deliciosa, con platos bien presentados y llenos de sabor. El servicio fue muy atento y amable en todo momento, lo que hizo que nos sintiéramos muy a gusto. El ambiente del local era muy agradable, ideal para disfrutar con tranquilidad. Probamos la sangría blanca, que estaba muy rica, aunque la primera no llegó muy fría. Aun así, nos gustó tanto que repetimos. Un sitio muy recomendable, sin duda volveremos.

Estuvimos cenando y nos encantaron todos los platos que pedimos, sobretodo una tosta de atún en semiconserva con una base de pimientos aliñados buenisimo. Cuando llegas casi nunca hay mesa libre, pero puedes esperar tomando algo el un habitáculo que tienen a modo de bodega mientras se queda una mesa libre. Lo recomiendo 100%

Uno de mis sitios preferidos para comer, no hay nada que no esté bueno, los camareros son muy atentos y el precio es bueno también, he llevado a un montón de gente a comer ahí y nunca falla, todo el mundo sale encantado.

Dining at Calendula is the kind of experience that quietly convinces you a Michelin star is inevitable. Chef Cristina cooks with confidence and imagination, delivering plates that feel both precise and deeply personal. The service is polished and genuinely warm, setting the tone from the first bite: an incredible Vieira Carpaccio, pristine and expressive, a masterclass in restraint. The Tuna Duo is nothing short of spectacular—silky tuna tartare paired with perfectly seared tuna—lifted beautifully by a chilled glass of Spanish Albariño that ties the flavors together with elegance. Then comes the Cochinillo: exquisite, crisp where it should be, tender where it must be, and handled with the respect this classic deserves. Desserts here are thoughtful and playful. The white chocolate with pistachio and brownie sand is unforgettable and my clear favorite, while the brownie with vanilla ice cream offers a refreshingly modern take that defies expectations. You will be impressed—Calendula is fine dining with soul, and a destination worth seeking out.

We’d love to recommend this tapas restaurant. We tried around 8 different tapas and every single one was absolutely amazing the flavours were out of this world and the presentation was so beautiful and aesthetic. The tapas were perfectly balanced and full of flavour. We also tried the desserts, and they were the perfect ending to an already perfect dinner.

Delicious tapas. Good selection of food. A really nice atmosphere and a great tapas restaurant. I think the restaurant closes at 1500h each day! Nice chilled vibes 👌

There is the one perfect locale, On top of Torremolinos in a sunlit ideal. Where home is not to be missed, Where worries get to be dismissed. A jewel for innovation and wonder, Quality that cannot be measured by number. Food takes your soul and you'll comply You’ll fall in love without asking why. And wine that dances through the glass It’s unique, making your evening last. The Spanish culture, warm and bold, Will be the memory you’ll hold. Do not just walk by, make time, And cherish an evening divine. This place totally shaped my understanding of Tapas. Their food is innovative and something to yearn. The Salmorejo is spectacular. The orange Salmorejo is a wonder. The most delicate Cod I have ever had. My only regret here was ordering the Salmon, which was great! But it lacked the innovative spirit. Stick to Spanish tapas and you'll wish the evening never ends.

If you want an experience, go there! The food was delicious, the way it was served reflected the quality and the servers are knowledgeable and would recommend some daily dishes as well. Few notables: salmon tartare, beef tartare, scallops tartare, the shrimp peanut (the serving on a rock is interesting!), the Iberrian pork and the patatas bravas

It's quite simple .... if you like a modern, vibrant tapas restaurant, with young, friendly and attentive staff serving delicious and unique food, then you will love Calendula! Rather than me going into detail it would be well worth you just booking a table and experiencing some of the best tapas in Andalusia yourself. Calendula is a very special place, and I wish them well, because they deserve it 😋🥰

Beautiful food cooked to perfection, amazing simple presentation and very reasonably priced. The best Croquettes we ever tried in Spain. Highly recommend this place.

Andrei Simonchyk

If you look for a classical tapas, this place might be not for you.. but if you look for a high quality creative tapas, which will explode your palate for an affordable price, go for it. It is not a surprise that this place was full when I arrived at 10p.m., and I had to wait 15 minute for a free table. Great food, attentive service, nice vibes (though it is not a cozy restaurant, but rather tapas bar nouvelle)

Dušan

Food was really delicious. Waiters can speak English, I am not sure if everyone:) portions was not so big so I recommend to buy at least two dishes. Quality of ingredients are great and combinations of all ingredients are perfect. I feel like in Michelin restaurants. Enjoy your stay and also food and variety of drinks. They have also food for kids so you can bring them with you. Possibility to pay by card.

Very comfortable patio for refreshments and tapas. Sangria Blanca was so refreshing and cold. The menu has plenty of options any you have the opportunity to try so many of you're sharing with a group. For a group of 4 we ordered about 8 plates across all sections of the menu.

The best tapas restaurant we have tried in Torremolinos. Not the cheapest one but at least the fish is tasty. A good value for money. Too many restaurants made for tourists in Torremolinos and we were a bit disappointed about the quality of the food until we tried Calendula. The place is cosy and the staff is nice and smiling.

Amazing food and overall great experience. All dishes we had, we would order again without even thinking about it. Everything was very tasty and will definitely leave you carving for more. The staff and the restaurant are very nice, kind of hidden away from the city center. I would highly recommend a reservation since it can get very busy.

Buena recomendación. La mayor parte de sabores interesantes en boca, sin embargo algunas combinaciones valdría la pena revisarlas.

Primera vez en este restaurante de Torremolinos, pudimos conseguir mesa para cenar dentro,pues tienen una gran terraza pero hacia mucho frío. El servicio amable,la comida bien de tapeo,con tapas originales,el ambiente normal.

Food was okay- sat for 90 minutes and had a grand total of two tapas dishes. Staff not friendly or attentive wouldn’t recommend much better places to eat on pueblo blanco

El trato recibido por la mujer que está en la barra y gestiona las reservas deja mucho que desear. Vamos habitualmente y nos encanta, pero nos retrasamos en llegar (culpa nuestra), avisamos de que nos íbamos a retrasar y nos llamó aún así hasta en dos ocasiones ( en menos de 10 minutos) insistentemente de malas formas, es para no volver.El resto de personal un amor, nos disculpamos y pedimos rápido y nos fuimos más rápido aún sin producir ningún retraso en el cierre ( entendemos que el tiempo es sagrado) pero no para ese trato por parte de esta señora.

I mostly enjoyed the food at Calendula. We had goats cheese Croquetas, seafood taco's & Crispy fried duck all of which were great. Unfortunately we also had Carpaccio of Scallop. The scallop was not fresh and gave both me and my partner food poisoning. This was a birthday meal for my girlfriend and it really ruined the next day. The food was reasonably priced.
