Kraken Centro - Tapas Restaurant

Had a pretty good selection of tapas to try. I recommend the black cod. Staff are super efficient (a bit too efficient since they were ready to take our order before we were 😆). Food arrives quickly and cleared quickly. Expect long queues to be seated but it moves fairly quickly. Ludmila was our waiter and her service was excellent

The space is super pleasant, modern, and cozy — perfect for enjoying a special meal. • Dishes: We ordered several amazing tapas: • Grilled scallops with spiced gazpacho — very flavorful and original. • Red tuna tartar with avocado — delicious and well-balanced. • Avocado stuffed with prawns cocktail — fresh and tasty combination. • Padron peppers with carbonara sauce — interesting and well-executed. • Bull tail gyozas with foie and cane honey — memorable, a gourmet touch. • Ribs with mashed potatoes — unfortunately, the only dish we found bland and unimpressive. All the dishes, except for the ribs, were wonderful and truly unique. • Drinks: We ordered Ribera del Duero wine by the glass, but found it weak and lacking complexity. On the bright side, they offer gluten-free beer. • Ambience: The space is very pleasant, modern, and inviting. • Service: It could be friendlier and more welcoming; there’s definitely room for improvement in the service. Conclusion: We were delighted with the quality and creativity of the food — especially the tuna tartar, scallops, avocado with prawns, peppers, and gyozas — and we definitely plan to return. We just didn’t enjoy the ribs, but that doesn’t overshadow the overall experience.

Nice restaurant with loads of outdoor seating, the square it's in is really chilled with other bars and restaurants around. The food was excellent, with a great variety of tapas to choose from. My fave was the lamb spring rolls, never had a spring roll like them before!

Amazing food and wonderful service from Ludmila. Highly recommend, the Sangria was delicious, the lamb rolls and burgers (both truffle and veggie) were the stars of the show. Make sure to book to avoid disappointment. I hope to visit again soon!

Had tapas for lunch. Seven tapas in all. Avocado with prawns, shrimp croquettes, lamb rolls, mushrooms with pork, roasted chicken, beef mini burger, and hot dog of chicken wings. By far the best meal in Malaga, even surpassing yesterday's Michelin-starred restaurant. Every dish had a distinct flavor profile. The service was impeccable.
