    Never thought Spanish food would be so good! Order their seabass ceviche, spicy garlic prawns, mushroom & goat cheese croquetas, black rice w/seafood. Desserts: caramelized brioche w/ lemon icecream.

    Everything is just incredible here! The atmosphere, the quality of the food, there isn't a single thing that we didn't like. Had the croquetas, patted bravas, tiger prawns, and must try the dessert!

    The black rice with squid and the chicken cannelloni are very good. Small portions so add some tapas to start. Sangria was delicious.

    Vibrant restaurant with great, modern Spanish food. El Sur pushes the boundaries with its innovative menu and chic surroundings. Highly recommended if you miss Spanish tapas-style food

    everything we tried here was good - mushroom goat cheese croquetas were divine and the patatas bravas had a really nice crispness with a tangy sauce..great sangria, but needs more spritz less sweet

    Probably the best Spanish in town, classics are just like as eating in Spain, moderns are amazing. Just share all the dishes, it's the real way to eat in such an authentic place.

    Amazing cocktails! The Málaga Mojito is a very welcome, refreshing drink! The charcuterie tasting platter is nicely sized for two but perfect for one if you're very hungry like I was.

    Everything was incredible. Must get the air bags w/ manchego & ham, the pork belly & the G&Ts are awesome. Use the Entertainer for a free main.

    Prefer their seafood paella (red rice) to their black rice paella (with shrimps)

    It's a place for big groups who want to drink, eat bar food and listening to loud music. I was a disappointed because I wanted the opposite. Food is good but too pricy for what it is. Service is top!

    Horrible customer service with overpriced average food. It used to be a good place with very good food and excellent customer service. After new management took over, it has gone down hill.

    Overpriced, small portions. Especially the "truffle rice" was a joke. Did not taste ANY truffle, overly salty and chili oil flavour. Not returning for sure!
