LA POSADA DE ANTONIO
This restaurant,whuch is owned by the famous actor from Málaga, Antonio Banderas, is one of the best restaurants for dinner or for "tapas". The prices are very reasonable, and even though the restaurant is large, it's always full with a good mix of people. The wood decor stands out, and it has two entrances on the same street, two floors and two bars, too. The fried eggplant and the grilled meat are truly excellent. Another good choice is the red pepper salad, which usually comes with fried "pescaito" (small fish).
