Best gambas al pil pil I’ve ever had! The cazon and the cigalas were excellent as well. Highly recommended.

The mixed seafood paella was delicious! It was quite busy and the wait a little long, but the Servers and the service was excellent. If you want great tasting food, go to this restaurant👍😋

This is a great Andalucean restaurant. I really recommend the black rice and the fish soup, but everything in the menu is delicious. Reservations are recommended. Great food, service and location. We have been back several times, we love it!

Wonderful place. We were looking for a non-tourist place with seafood and find the right spot. Amazing fresh seafood, great service, very nice interior. Big respect to owners and highly recommended to all Malaga visitors. Thank you for a great evening from me and my wife.

We reserved a spot with a request for some nice place as it is our annoversary dinner. The staff prepared for us this beautiful table and gifted us a bottle of a sparkling wine. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff was super professional and nice and we couldnt be more thankful! Recommend to everyone

It was the best spanish restaurant during our two weeks stay in Andalucia. Mostly locals are visiting it which is a good measure for quality. The food was excellent, the portions huge and the atmosphere very pleasant.

Visited twice in 4 days because of its less-crowded atmosphere and high quality of seafood dishes, personally high recommend the baked / salt-baked fish (€50 per KG) for two. Additionally, the service is super friendly

Some of the best local food in Malaga. The Pil Pil is the best I’ve ever had. The sautés clams in white wine sauce are 🤯 and there fritas, delicious 😋

We had a wonderful experience at El Cenachero Centro. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the arroz caldoso con bogavante was super delicious, leaving us completely satisfied. The huevas fritas and Pultillas (baby squid) were both crunchy and fresh, adding to the delightful meal. And the white wine complemented the meal perfectly. The prices were reasonable, and the restaurant's location, with the beautiful church as a backdrop, was serene and not overcrowded. The staffs are friendly and professional. I highly recommend making reservations in advance, especially on weekends. And If you are a seafood lover, don’t miss it!

This place has one of the best services I have encountered in Malaga with very polite and helpful waiters. As for food, I recommend the roasted vegetables. They are absolutely delicious and yet such a simple dish. There is a great variety of vegetables with peppers, onions, leek, asparagus etc. As for the fish, the Lenguado aka Sole fish is a must try. You can ask for the size before ordering (usually comes to 400-600gr) as the kilo can be costly, but even so, it's one of the sweetest, most tender and juicy fish I have ever tried and the seasoning was perfect. Portions are quite big so what you see in the photos can easily be shared between 2 people or even 3 if you are looking for a lighter dinner. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in town to eat fish and shellfish. The freshness of the oysters, zamburiñas and navajas is glorious. Excellent wine also (Viña Ardanza). Today I am adding a new line because I ate the best "calamares fritos" ever tasted.

Clásico del centro de Málaga para disfrutar de buen marisco y pescado. Hacía tiempo que no comía tan bien: producto fresco, preparación impecable y un servicio muy amable por parte del camarero que nos atendió. Eso sí, detalle negativo: nos cobraron 10 € adicionales por la mariscada solo por pedirla a la parrilla en vez de cocida, sin avisar y sin que aparezca especificado en carta. La comida merece la visita, pero deberían ser más transparentes con los precios.

Restaurante en zona centro de Málaga, en las plantas superiores hemos estado muy cómodos con muy buen ambiente. El personal de lo mejor, educados, atentos y se preocupan de verdad en el servicio que dan, algo que hoy en día hay que valorar mucho. La comida muy buena. El género de gran calidad. A la mariscada le hizo falta algo más de plancha, de ahí que no tenga la 5 estrella, pero sin duda repetiré!!

El servicio fue bastante bueno, la comida estaba buena y el sitio bastante acogedor.

Tienen una carta super variada y tentadora! Nos gustó bastante el entrante salpicon de mariscos con abundante pimientos y cebolla. La tortilla de calamares estaba buena pero no me terminó de convencer (será cosa de gustos) La paella de mariscos tampoco nos gustó tanto taaanto porque tenia muchos pimientos y tomate, cosa que repito que son cosas de gustos. No tenia mariscos pelados ni cortados, solo enteros. La atención super buena y destacable ☺️

Pedimos el menu atun rojo. Los dos primeros platos, el tiradito y la ensaladilla rusa de atun, están a temperatura ambiente y les faltaba sabor. Además de que lo presentaban con unos "brotes" y flores que estaban marrones y viejos. Se lo comenté y me trajeron la caja que era nueva y que las flores eran así. Las flores claro eran amarillas pero los brotes estaban marrones de viejo. En fin. No segui la discusión, solo marque el error. Luego unos canalones rellenos de atun, que tenían buen sabor. Se notaba preparado de antes y la bechamel no estaba bien, poco brillo y endurecida. Siguiente el pan bao con un relleno de atun, wakame y una mayo, este creo que fue el mejor plato de los paso ofrecidos. Estaba muy equilibrado, con un toque de lima que le iba bien. Luego tacos de atun rebosado con una yema salada. Estaba muy rico tbn. Buena calidad el tacos de atun y buen punto. Luego la ventresca con una tulipa de queso, este me gusto pero cuestión de gustos yo cocinarla mas la carne para que la grasa interna se funda mas. El surtido de postres está bien y rico. El arroz final olvidaba, pasado de punto, no vale la pena. Mi conclusión es que conviene ir y pedir platos separados, no el menu, ya que si bien te dan mucha comida no todos los platos están buenos.

Para comer pescado frito, es una buena opción, la calidad es buena, aunque las raciones no son muy generosas, los precios son lo normal en la zona. El servicio es atento y eficaz. El comedor de la planta alta, resulta muy agradable.

En el mejor sitio que hemos cenado en Málaga. Comida de calidad, en especial el cazón en adobo y las vieiras. Pero para mi nada como las ostras. 🦪 Pero tienen algo que mejorar y es el servicio y la organización, pedimos unas gambas a la plancha y al rato nos dijeron que no les quedaban (no pasa nada) y también pedimos gazpacho y se les olvidó. Quiero pensar que fue una mala noche sin más, porque volveremos a Málaga (desde Zaragoza) y volveremos a El Cenachero.

We had a very nice dinner. Started with grilled white prawns, followed by grilled squid & salt baked whole sea bass. The sea bass was filleted/prepared by the waiter at a table too far from us, so I could not see (most restaurants prepare it at your table which is much nicer). Simple & fresh fish. I’d happily return again.

We enjoyed our dinner here; it was Sunday evening so the fresh fish offer was limited, but we still found Monk fish, Pink Cusk-eel, Sea bream. You have to try the Viera Gratinada and the Marinara Sautéed Mussles. There's also a generous, array of wines.

Tasty seafood and friendly prices. The dessert (apple tarte tatine) was simply delicious! Service was pretty nice. Unfortunately, some dishes that we wanted to try were not available. May be, because it was Sunday night and the place was almost empty. When we passed it in Friday night, it was fully packed, no free tables😊

Está bien. Algo aceitoso el pescado a la plancha. Las raciones son correctas. Es un poco caro pero para ser el centro de Málaga está bien. El servicio era atento, pero no retiran los platos entre raciones y tampoco cambian la copa de vino, solo rellenan, es un detalle menor pero pidiendo vino blanco frío se agradece que te pongan una copa cambiada.

Pedimos gambas muy buenas, y concha fina tambien muy buenas. La paella mixta mejor no pedirla, ya que las almejas estaban en mal estado y los mejillones eran enanos. No pedimos pan y nos lo cobraron en la cuenta, luego lo rectificaron eso sí.

Acudimos al local motivados por la cantidad de comensales que allí habían. El servicio fue rápido, educado y correcto; todos ellos van limpiamente uniformados y con un aspecto muy adecuado. La calidad del entrecot fue muy buena, nos decepcionaron un poco los entrantes, tanto en la calidad como en la elaboración.

Restaurante en una zona del centro de Málaga muy bella. La tematización y decoración muy adecuada a la cultura malagueña. La baja valoración se debe a los arroces que pedimos. Tanto el negro como el de carabineros decepcionaron a los 12 comensales. Arroz pasado de cocción, escasez de pescado en el mismo y poco sabor. Entrantes como las almejas en salsa, salpicón o el pescado frito sí estuvieron sabrosos y bien servidos. Destacar que el restaurante fue consciente y comprensivo cuando manifestamos nuestro malestar con el arroz, ofreciéndonos una reducción en la cuenta por la incidencia. Habrá que volver para testear si lo del arroz fue algo puntual.

Dishes were either bland and flavourless or overpowering, paella was stodgy and very saucy. €50pp , would not recommend

Fan Zhang

Service is great but the seafood quality is bad. Corquinas tastes good but full of sand (the service guy said it is normal for Corquinas🤷) Messermusscheln tastes not fresh so I changed it to a grilled octopus. The octopus is weirdly soft and too salty for me.

Travelling Myself

Calamari was super hard and impossible to eat. The quality of this place has dropped a lot! Plus when I complained about the calamaro…well it seems I lost the right of having a digestive like all the other customers. It is a pity because I live in a Malaga and it WAS my favorite place for fish in the city center!
