La Sole del Pimpi

Starting the menu is not very comprehensive. The names of the dishes are not easy to understand for foreigners. The service was not so good. The place is so crowded of course you need to wait in long queues to be served. Only 2 waiters per area. So. You can spend easily 2.5/3 hours for regular lunch or dinner. Personnel were not disrespectful but some of them clearly don't like that job. They put the food on the table and that's it. Some orders were mixed up. And not even a warm "enjoy your food" and I'm not talking about me. I was checking how they were working as I was waiting to be served for so long. The quality of the food is not so great. The "tinto de verano" was really poor and small. 5/10 The salad was good 9/10. But the breaded fish was not so good. 7/10. Its better to book in advance than just be in a long queue for more than 30 min. I really dont know how can this restaurant be rated so high. I definitely wouldn't go again. For the experience was ok. But not my cup of tea compared with so many other in the area.

Surprisingly good! Of course, it's busy and on pricier side, as you are literally next to the roman theatre/Alcazaba, and with Picasso museum next to it. But we just wanted to grab something for drinks and food, without thinking about it too much. We got beers and fried fish mix - and damn! It was a pile of really good fish/calamari and we were not able to finish it in 3 people. The only annoying thing is that they let beggars to the terrace, so every so often someone comes and begs for money/collects coins for a "concert", but thankfully when you say no, they do not press you. But still, I feel like this is really not something that should be allowed in a restaurant.

It was an amazing experience! The ambience is beautiful and the music is jazzy. You have a beautiful view at the ruin. The waiter that helped us spoke perfect English and was very lovely. The food did not come to fast what we loved. The sushi was the best we ever had. We definitely recommend this place. Make sure that you reserve at the first floor at la Sole!!☀️

An institution of the Malaga restaurant scene, Pimpi has been around for 40 years, located in the city centre. The grilled acorn-fed Iberian fan (18.00€) was tasty and served with broccoli and potatoes. The outdoor seating is the perfect spot for taking in the sights and enjoy the weather during summer. The service is efficient and cordial. Its roots with the local community are strengthened with a non profit foundation that invests in local cultural and musical projects.

The place has a nice design and a good location, but that’s about it. It feels like a business focused solely on making money, with staff who don’t seem to care about guests. Our experience started with menus being thrown on the table, followed by a 10-minute wait for bread to go with our prawns—despite reminding the staff four times. I understand they’re busy, but if that’s the case, they should hire more staff for weekends and train them properly.
