El tintero II
Type: Seafood Restaurants
Address: El Palo

El Tintero II is located right at the far east end of the seafront, and is a huge seafood restaurant where the waiters charge round with plates of fish (all costing the same for a plate) and you shout for, or grab, anything you like. The fish includes mero, and rosada, boquerones (fresh anchovies), gambas (prawns), calamares, chopos, jibia (different kinds of squid) and sepia (cuttlefish). A great fun place to eat. A stylish Malaga restaurant.

Marisquería Santa Paula

Address: Plaza de La Merced 20

El Vegetariano cañadu is a quaint atmospheric vegetarian restaurant, that serves good quality vegetarian dishes. They have a twin restaurant, El Vegetariano de San Bernardo , at the junction of c/Niño de Guevara and c/Cañuelos de San Bernardo, a couple of blocks west of Plaza de la Merced. A popular Malaga restaurant.

Adolfo
Type: International, Andalusian
Address: Paseo Marítimo Pablo Ruíz Picasso 12

Along the ocean-bordering Paseo Marítimo, this restaurant has long been one of the best and most reliable in Málaga ever since it opened to an instant success in the mid-90s. The decor is regional, with hardwood floors and exposed brick walls. Backed up by an excellent wine list strong on Andalusian vintages, the restaurant has a friendly, helpful staff. Well worth ordering are such daily specials as hake in a green sauce or else duck glazed with a sweet wine. The big dish, often ordered on festive occasions, is roast suckling pig flavored with garden herbs. Another dish to tuck into enthusiastically is stewed angler fish with prawns and wild mushrooms. Finally, nothing succeeds quite like the roast baby kid in a rosemary-flavored honey sauce.

El Chinitas
Type: Spanish, Mediterranean
Address: Moreno Monroy, 4

In the heart of Málaga a short walk from the tourist office, this is one of the most established restaurants in town. Many regular patrons consume a round of tapas and drinks at the associated Bar Orellana next door (which maintains the same hours, minus the midafternoon closing), then head to Chinitas for a meal. The place is often filled with local residents, which is a good sign. The menu changes but might include a mixed fish fry, grilled red mullet, shrimp cocktail, grilled sirloin, or shellfish soup. The service is both fast and attentive.
