Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Finally something different!
Not one but TWO duck options! I like pork and beef but after a while I wanted something a little different. This place did not disappoint. Excellent starters (croquettes and artichoke) excellent main course (duck tacos, steak)
Service was impeccable. Washed down with a bottle of reasonably priced red.
At the recommendation of our lovely Russian waitress we ordered the pear in wine dessert.
Now, I have a very particular phobia so for me the appearance of the dessert was unappealing. However once it had been sliced up and no longer resembled my particular phobia, it was delicious. Tasted like Christmas.
Well worth a visit

Thank you very much Marian. It is very important for us. It is our intention to be a different option among so many identical menus in Malaga. And knowing that you liked it is an honor for us. I hope we see you again.

WOW! That is the best word to describe this restaurant. There are few restaurants in Malaga that rise to this caliber. This is an exceptional restaurant, you can tell that the chef takes great pride and care with each dish. The presentation, the balance, the texture, and the flavor...every dish we tasted was a 10+.
The service was exceptional, the wait staff are very knowledgeable in each dish the preparation and the ingredients, which is very important for a successful restaurant.
This is now our new go to restaurant.

I really wanted to go to this restaurant and the truth is that it has been a success, the place is super nice, the waiters are super attentive at all times, I am sensitive to gluten and lactose intolerant, they explained all the dishes to us super Well, both when we ordered and when they served us at the table, I highly recommend it, it has been a very pleasant experience since it is very difficult for people who have intolerances to find places like Kortxo, even though the dishes are small, it is a delight to be able to try several dishes different and taste them, both my partner and I were very satisfied. We didn't have room for dessert, a shame because they looked delicious, I'm sure I'll make room for the next time. Thank you Kortxo for your wonderful cuisine and your treatment. We will repeat

We booked at this restaurant attracted by the numerous positive reviews and well-presented dishes, but disappointment was just around the corner. We order an octopus and an entrecote... we're already off to a bad start with the service... my octopus arrives first and then after a while my husband's entrecote and that in itself is quite annoying... practically one goes in couple to eat alone or watch the other eat.. and the place was empty.. only one couple before us. However, my octopus arrives, nice for goodness sake but the fried potatoes on the side were cold and in my opinion not even fried at the moment... they tasted like stale frying.: I practically leave almost all of the dish:... I point this out to the waitress who kindly offers to to make it again or to change the dish but we had already eaten alternately, I didn't feel like waiting any longer to eat.. by now they had ruined my dinner with that mediocre dish...: we pay and they discount us 30 percent of the dish (just over 7 euros ) which I practically didn't eat.. well maybe I wouldn't have made them pay since the dish wasn't good at all but evidently they did what they could. Among other things, dishes that cost like a super top level restaurant and this wasn't really the case... I certainly won't set foot there again. P.s. They bring us a small homemade appetizer, even a very mediocre one

Ciao Anna, grazie mille per aver scelto Kortxo e per la tua recensione dettagliata. Il fascino del cibo è la "diversità" dei gusti. Insieme al tuo polpo ne è uscito un altro per un altro tavolo e l'hanno adorato. Per quanto riguarda i tempi, suona un po' esagerato dire che avete mangiato da soli... l'entrecote è arrivata pochi secondi dopo il polpo, ma sicuramente è qualcosa da rivedere e migliorare. Mi dispiace che l'esperienza non sia stata come ti aspettavi. Saluti.
Hello Anna, Thank you very much for choosing Kortxo and for your detailed review. The appeal of the food is the "diversity" of tastes. Along with your octopus another came out for another table and they loved it. Regarding the times, it sounds somewhat exaggerated to say that you ate alone... the entrecote arrived seconds after the octopus, but surely it is something to review and improve. I am sorry that the experience has not been as expected by you. Greetings.
Hola Anna Muchas gracias por elegir Kortxo y por vuestra detallada reseña. Lo atractivo de la comida es la "diversidad" de gustos. Junto con vuestro pulpo salio otro para otra mesa y les ha encantado. Respecto a los tiempos, suena algo exagerado decir que has comido sola ... el entrecot llego segundos luego del pulpo, pero seguramente es algo para revisar y mejorar. Lamento que la experiencia no haya sido la esperada por vosotros. Saludos.

We had ordered a table at 8.
Unfortunately received by someone who sounded like a robot saying it was fully booked at 10am.
The tuna tartar looked nice but consisted of a lot of tendons, so fin laying doesn't help.

Dismal dinner in Malaga downtown, I broke one of my rules which is if the waiter is trying to capture customers flees that site, I was fooled by his concept of Fusion Art, serious mistake.
We ordered an octopus and a risotto... nothing otherworldly, zero flavor. I wanted to give desserts a try and there comes the concept of Fusion art but for worse.
We ordered a chocolate coulant with vanilla bourbon style ice cream (we ordered it especially for this), very well, they serve us that but with red fruit ice cream, I told the waitress why and she lets me loose that is that they did not have and neither warn or anything, they plant it on the table as if you were foolish, there is the level. But the best thing is missing, the dessert of a mix of red fruits with a white chocolate soup, comes to me and I see a raspberry full of mold, I tell him to change it and I hear as from the kitchen that that is normal (normal for his restaurant because come on, not in a Mc Donald's you are treated like this)... instead of changing the dish they change the raspberry, where obviously I wanted you to change the dish because I already had the soup all over the plate.
What's said here ever again.

Hola Alfonso Garcia. Gracias por el esmero puesto en escribir esta reseña y subirla a toda red social que has encontrado. Lamentablemente la misma presenta ciertos desvios a la realidad y manifiesta malicia que no podemos dejar pasar. En principio has llegado a Kortxo por una reserva que has gestionado en nuestra web una semana antes y no por ser "captado" por ningun camarero. Continuando, es verdad que nos habiamos quedado sin helado de vainilla, es verdad que se lo ha reemplazado por sorbete de frutos rojos y es verdad que deberiamos haberlo comunicado al momento de la orden. Pedimos diculpas por ello. Pero todo eso tan verdadero como que el color del helado de vainilla y de frutos rojos es bastante diferente por lo que pudisteis verlo en el mismo momento de recibir el plato y si habian pedido el coulant de chocolate negro "solo" por el helado (raro) podrias haber solicitado el cambio y os hubieramos ofrecido otra alternativa de nuestra carta de postres. Por el contrario, vuestro comentario llego luego de haber comido hasta la ULTIMA gota de helado de frutos rojos (suponemos que les ha gustado) mostrando toda esa actitud maliciosa que mostraron desde que entraron a la sala y en toda esta reseña. De todas maneras, si deciden regresar, los estaremos esperando con nuestras puertas abiertas. Saludos

A true hidden gem in Malaga, definitely a must if you like good food. Malaga is full of restaurants, most of which are very touristic, although you can find good food there as well. But the Kortxo is on another level: true gourmet cuisine, well prepared and well presented.
We chose the tasting menu, 7 dishes including a dessert for 91 euros/2 pax, plus one bottle of wine and 1 water, for about 120 euros (60 each) very well spent. The waitress was extremely kind and explained every dish with competency. We enjoyed every dish, from the starters (the tuna tartare was exquisite), to the main course (veal cheek perfectly done) to the cheesecake. My only comment would be to serve 2 individual desserts instead of one single portion to share. We were there for my birthday, we couldn't have chosen a better place.

Travelled with two gluten free friends and we usually struggle to find decent restaurant options for them. This place was outstanding - gourmet food, excellent service & for once they could have nearly everything on the menu so struggled to make up their minds!
Had the pumpkin risotto with scallops and dark chocolate fondant which were both delicious. Presented with a sardine and potato croquette amuse bouche & genuinely could have eaten a plate full just of those!
The price of the meal was surprisingly low for the high quality of food. I was so pleased to find this place and don’t hesitate in recommending it to others.

The best dinner made in Malaga. Cute and excellent dishes, the two waiters extremely friendly and helpful. The price a bit higher than the other restaurants I've been to, but absolutely proportional to the quality of the food. It is true that in the other restaurants we ate mainly tapas. Highly Recommendation. To give you an idea for two starters, two main courses, a dessert, a bottle of wine and two bottles of water we spent 110 euros.

The food was very tasty, the service was also great and all the food was good for sharing. The servers spoke good English and explained all the dishes (which they did not do at all other fine-dining restaurants in this city). It may not look like much, but I wouldn't skip this restaurant.

Friendly and pleasant service. The waiter recommended oysters as a starter, and pheasant as a main course. The pheasant breasts were nicely laid out, but completely uncooked! Only a thin frying surface, the rest was raw and tough meat. We returned half the plate.

Hej Joni, som vi redan har svarat på i alla nätverk där du har skrivit din synpunkt, frågar tjänsten alltid matgästerna vilken tillagningspunkt som helst för köttet. Om de bad om det "sällsynt", var det så det serverades. Men om kockens poäng inte överensstämmer med matgästens, kan matgästen begära en högre grad av matlagning och det finns inga problem med att göra det. Jag behövde bara ansöka om jag verkligen hade haft lust att göra det. Hälsningar
Hello Joni, as we have already responded to in all the networks where you have written your point of view, the service always asks the diner their preferred cooking point for the meat. If they asked for it "rare", that's how it was served. But if the chef's point does not coincide with that of the diner, the diner can request a higher degree of cooking and there are no problems in doing so. I only needed to apply if I had really felt like doing it. Greetings
Hola Joni, como ya le hemos respondido en todas las redes en las que ha escrito su punto de vista, el servicio siempre pregunta al comensal su punto preferido de coccion de la carne. Si lo han pedido "poco hecho", asi se ha servido. Pero si el punto del chef no coincide con el del comensal, el comensal puede solicitar un grado mas de coccion y no hay inconvenientes en realizarlo. Solo necesitaba solicitarlo si hubiera tenido realmente ganas de hacerlo. Saludos

We couldn't be more satisfied with the attention they gave us! Ideal for celiacs and intolerants, 90% of the menu is gluten-free. They know how to explain the allergens in the dishes very well and make good recommendations.
About our experience:
We had a reservation for 8:00 p.m. and at 9:10 p.m. we had already had dessert. Super fast and efficient service. Admittedly, it was early, but from what we could see, the tables that arrived later were being served at a similar pace.
Very cozy place in the center of Malaga. They have more than reasonable prices for the service they offer.
Congratulations to the kitchen and waiters!

We had the set menu and it was fabulous. Dry innovative and a pleasure to eat. It’s quite a small restaurant but the chef knows his business! Absolutely delicious dishes and wine by the glass is very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go again - we saw the cherry dessert some fellow diners had ordered and it looked sensational!

Nice place.
Pretty central and well located on a quiet street.
Fantastic service from the waiters, fast and efficient.
Fusion food with interesting flavors but lacks a more elaborate finish. For example the artichoke was hard or the duck too old.
However, only with the attention and explanations is it worth going and trying.
In addition we were with a 30% discount so very well

Absolutely lovely place. The food was excellent, and the prices are fairly reasonable! Most items on the menu are gluten free, which is a must for me - and the staff was very careful about this. Julia was a brilliant host and we felt welcome from the moment we entered Kortxo. We got nice recommendations for food and wine and we were very happy with this visit. We will definitely come back next time we are in Malaga. Highly recommended.
