La Tetería
Emulating many of Granada’s teterías, this inviting establishment near the Picasso museum complements a full menu of exotic teas with some heavenly homemade cakes and one of the best bowls of breakfast granola you’re ever likely to taste.

C
Gorki
A popular upmarket tapas bar with pavement tables and a modern interior full of wine-barrel tables and stools. Creative tapas have a more sevillano twist and the clientele is young and trendy.

D
La Casa del Ángel
An extraordinary restaurant filled with the owners' considerable art collection. The cuisine is equally sumptuous: a combination of Andalucian, Arab and international tastes.

E
Restaurante Tintero
A longstanding, fun, seafront eatery where plates of seafood are brought out by the waiters and you shout out for what you want. Shout loud if you want it sizzling hot.

Lechuga
In this calm retreat, vegetables reign supreme and the chef does wonderful things with them, such as hummus, Indian-style bhajis and various inventive salads.

Cafe de Flores
Formerly La Casa del Ángel, the once eccentric interior has been replaced with sleek plexiglass furniture, abstract art and a highly rated DJ to become a haunt of smart young malagueños in up-and-coming Plaza Madre de Dios, right opposite the blue-and-gold Teatro Cervantes. By day it's a coffee bar and lunch place, by night good food is complemented by great sounds.

Café de París
There are reasons why La Malagueta neighbourhood is considered ‘posh’, and here’s one of them. Just as it name implies, Café de París is politely refined, upmarket, and very, well, Parisian. But, none of it’s an act. With a Michelin-starred Spanish chef, this is where you come with your rich friends to enjoy fried lobster and hope they pick up the bill.

Café Lepanto
An old-world Italianite coffee/ice-cream bar that serves as Málaga’s top confitería (sweets and pastries shop) , Lepanto is insanely popular probably because most of its sweets and pastries are highly addictive. Enjoy them in the art nouveau embellished interior, being served by athletic waiters in waistcoats.

J
Café Central
An extremely popular café on the main pedestrian square. A cold beer and plate of rosada frita (fried hake) is a lunch-time must. Choose your table carefully (somewhere in the middle) or you may be plagued by various musical impresarios determined to serenade you, a feature of outdoor eating in the centre.

Restaurante Antonio Martín
On the beach and with a large terrace, Antonio Martín is a somewhat stuffy dress-up-and-be-seen restaurant serving a range of fried fish and meat in a starched-tablecloth zone. If you want something cheaper and more down-to-earth, walk a few hundred metres along the promenade to one of the tented beach dives.

Café Museo Picasso
Simply excellent, serving the best rich, dark coffee in town. It was established by Málaga's most dynamic young chef, José Carlos García (of Cafe de Paris), though he no longer runs it. The beautiful, secluded little patio at the back of the museum is alone worth a trip here.

M
El Yamal
This restaurant serves tasty Moroccan food in traditional tagines (earthenware dishes with pointed lids). Choose from fish, chicken or couscous with vegetables and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. Finish with a mint tea with a drop of orange flower essence (azahar).

Rojo
A relatively new contender on the Málaga restaurant scene and slap bang in the middle of the old town. Red banquettes line the walls, contrasting sharply with white tablecloths. Rojo attracts a youngish professional crowd with its simple but excellent menu.

O
Café Moka
Just off Calle Larios, this busy little retro cafe caters to a mainly Spanish crowd. In the mornings, it does brisk breakfast business with savoury-filled soft rolls (molletes), croissants and strong, creamy coffee, starting at around €3.50.

P
La Rebaná
A great, noisy tapas bar near the Picasso museum and the cathedral. Dark wood, tall windows and exposed-brick walls create a modern, minimal, laid-back space. Try the unique foie gras with salted nougat tapa.

Comoloco
This place with huge windows onto the little street is packed out at lunchtime. The menu also features a vegetarian’s delight of salads and generously filled pitta wraps at a good price amid industrial decor.

T
El Vegetariano de la Alcazabilla
Laid-back veggie/vegan restaurant combining friendly service with good food in a shabby-chic setting just a cannonball shot from the Alcazaba walls. Do try the ‘meatballs of Seitan’.

Mesón El Chinitas
This place appeals to diners who don't mind being eyeballed by cheesy portraits. Cuisine is malagueño and specialities are rice dishes and whole fish baked with salt.

La Posada Antonio
A very popular place with locals where you will be hard pressed to find a table after 23:00, despite its barnlike proportions. Great for greasy meat in tremendous proportions.
