Sollo

★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Modern Cuisine

In this stylish restaurant at the Reserva del Higuerón resort, you’ll find an open kitchen and superb views of the coast, which provide a delightful backdrop for innovative cuisine that is resolutely focused on aquaponic production as an alternative production system for the future, combining the rearing of freshwater fish in its R&D laboratory with the growing of vegetables in a symbiotic environment (90% of Sollo’s ingredients are home produced). Here, Diego Gallegos, the so-called “caviar chef”, creates a tasting menu (Caminho) with a sustainable focus, featuring modern, balanced dishes bas

Sollo in Torremuelle offers creative modern cuisine, generally praised for high food quality and bold, precise flavor combinations featuring ingredients like caviar. The chef often presents dishes personally, and the sustainable menu with a kitchen lab tour adds unique value. Service is frequently commended as attentive and professional. However, some negative reviews criticize the atmosphere as sterile, cold, or cafeteria-like, with complaints about harsh lighting and inconsistent meal pacing. While a minority found dishes bland or overly sweet, the consensus highlights an exceptional culinary experience driven by innovation and presentation, making it suitable for adventurous diners.

Recommended for diners seeking innovative modern cuisine and unique experiences, though be prepared for a potentially cool atmosphere.

Charolais

€€Traditional Cuisine

Located in the centre of Fuengirola, but just a few metres from the beach, Charolais is a restaurant serving traditional cuisine with a nod to the Basque country on a menu featuring tapas, “raciones” and dishes for sharing. In fact, you’ll find two adjoining and interconnecting restaurants (Charolais and Charolais Tapas) here, as well as a pleasant terrace. Standout options include the Huelva shrimp “al ajillo”, the tartare of avocado and Carabinero prawns, as well any of its meat or fish dishes.

Lila

€€Fusion

Working under that name, a small nod to the chef's mother and grandmother, we find Omar Ben Hammou, a Peruvian-born chef who, after discovering his vocation, has not stopped travelling and working all over the world. Here, in this cosy contemporary bistro we find a truly different cuisine, which, starting from a clear Japanese base, acquires a certain personality by adding different notes of fusion with other cultures. Top dishes? Try their wild-caught fish ceviche or the roasted cauliflower, served with kombu, yellow chilli, yuzu kosho and Riviera herbs.

Marisquería Los Marinos Jose

€€€Seafood

Seafood

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.0/5 · 80 reviews

Marisquería Los Marinos Jose in Málaga holds a 4.0/5 rating. Positive reviews highlight fresh seafood, authentic Andalusian cooking, and friendly service, with dishes like fried calamari and octopus receiving praise. The atmosphere is welcoming and popular with locals. However, negative feedback cites issues with value perception, citing small portions and high prices relative to expectations. Service inconsistencies, including slow pacing and occasional rudeness during peak times, are noted. While conveniently located near Malagueta, reservations are essential due to high demand, and some diners report confusion with dish ordering.

Suitable for diners seeking fresh, authentic seafood who book in advance, though those prioritizing strict value and consistent service may find it inconsistent.
