Restaurante La Deriva

Superb quality food and service. The risotto was excellent. Patas bravas really tasty, just enough spices and not deep fried. Service brilliant too. Only downside lots of people taking themselves a bit too seriously.

Professional service, friendly and always there if you need.
The food is high level and the taste delicious.
We it fish from day and it was perfect. The tapas as starter make dinner to experience.
We come back :)
Ps: excellent wine offer ..

A bit pricey for what it was, but cheese and charcuterie meats were all good.

This restaurant was recommended to me as an example of local food and was perfect! I tried the meat sample platter and a shrimp tapas on suggestion from the waiter and the sardine tapas because it sounded delicious; it was all amazing. I would definitely come back to try other dishes!

We had such a lovely meal here. Our server was Borja, and he was friendly, helpful, and put up with my limited Spanish and spoke very good English! It took a little while to get our menus but very fast with the drinks and all of the staff were friendly.

We had the burrata salad which was delicious, but the dressing was a bit unusual. Still ate every bite.

The absolute star of the show was the 'Arroz meloso carabineros'. Creamy, perfectly cooked, nicely salty, and had the most beautiful red prawns I've ever had. My favourite meal in Malaga to date.

Thank you Borja and co. for a wonderful meal and excellent service.

Everything was tasty and the wine was good. When we 1st walked up, the server that greeted us seemed a bit unfriendly. Not sure if he was havin a bad day or if it was because we were foreigners. Didnt leave us with a welcoming feeling. Our actual waiter was friendly and great but got our order incorrect. Thus, we didn't really get to try the main courses since we got an extra appetizer. Definitely has potential to be 5 stars but it didn't feel like our visit was at that level. Would still go back and give it another chance.

We’ve had the avocado/mango salad; it was way too sweet for our taste.
The fried tempura prawns, are okay, although the tempura layer is very thick.
