Restaurante Mesón Antonio

A surprise discovery in the middle of the historical centre of Malaga. Exquisite food - home made. You can feel the atmosphere of the local restaurant where locals are coming to ear their regular food. But it's not regular. Good portions and fair prices. The wines are also very good. We came here for 3 times in a row.

Good restaurant in Malaga. Not easy to see, it is hidden in an alleyway. Location not great if you want to eat outside. Ox tail recommend. Could have better side than chips.

We had very high hopes when we visited this restaurant but it didn’t meet our expectations. We went there late at night and all fish items from the menu were sold out, except for fried white fish bites, which was ok but not great. We were 5 people and the waiter recommended us to order 1 kg of the angus steak, but the meat came raw, placed in a plate right next to cooked fries. We had to cook the meat ourselves on a hot plate, which did not stay hot for more than a few seconds. We had to order 5 hot plates to finish cooking the meat, which they charged us for. By the time the meat was cooked, the fries were all cold and soggy. The bread pieces were also not fresh and very cold. Service was not great, slow, not helpful, and sometimes disrespectful. The tuna tartar was also bland and did not go very well with the tomato puree next to it. Overall, although the quality of the steak meat was great, we did not have a pleasant experience and some of the waiters were even laughing at us when we ordered new hot plates.

Food decent, ordered small portion of jamon iberico which was delicious but waiter charged us for full portion. My Spanish is terrible so didn't highlight to him however I made it very clear when ordering I wanted smaller €12 portion so I would imagine they do this to tourists regularly. Won't be going back as overcharged by 11 euro.

Our experience was quite mediocre. Service was good but the food wasn’t great. The Russian salad wasn’t seasoned and very bland as was the tartar. The artichokes were also unseasoned. The spot is nice and off the beaten path though, quite cozy.
