Kaleja

"The name of this restaurant is particularly apt (Kaleja is the Sephardic word for “alley”) given its location in Málaga’s Jewish quarter, just a few steps from the city’s Picasso Museum.The first thing that will strike you as you walk through the door is the subtle aroma of smoke, a key feature that sets this restaurant apart. Here, chef Dani Carnero has gone for a modern take on dishes of old, working with the heat of his wood-fired grill to create what he calls “candle cooking” – a style of cuisine that revives tastes and flavours from his childhood, in many cases connected to traditional Andalucian recipes that have been brought back from the brink. These are served on two tasting menus (Memoria and Gran Menú Memoria), on which every dish is teeming with powerful flavours and has a story behind it." - Michelin Inspector

It was my first experience at a Michelin star restaurant, but I liked it and it wasn't that overwhelming as I would expect. The restaurant is minimalist, but nice organized. The food was great, as you would expect from a Michelin star chef, but I can only compare it with "regular" food. Also, the quantities were over my expectation for a gourmet restaurant. The staff was friendly and very professional. If you're in Malaga and want this kind of experience, i recommend it. Book it in advance!

Outstanding night and dinner Everything was perfect and the atmosphere was very informal, after a while was like being at home with your friends but always with a very high level in service and quality I strongly recommend the kitchen table

Everything here in this restaurant was right, the minimalist interior, the food and the story the chef wanted to tell about his history, his family, his country. The friendly service and the local wines completed the picture and as icing on the cake we got a tour in the kitchen. It was hospitality at its best!

An absolute delight all round. Trying this little gem in Malaga is a huge recommend. The tasting menu and wine paring was exceptional. Definitely worth at least 1Michelin star if not more. Come check it out for an excellent dining experience.

It is a very small and familiar place, the staff make you feel at home. We really enjoyed the large tasting menu. Except 2-3 dishes the rest were amazing. We do consider that this experience deserves what you pay. We really enjoyed it! Congrats to all KALEJA team!

What a place. Don’t miss out on the chef’s table experience if you have the opportunity. We had the pleasure of seeing magic in motion during the night. Amazing culinary experience 😍 A great add: there should be a sommelier that matches wine with each dish, but guessing the tempo doesn’t allow it.

Dani Carnero‘s third gastro venture in Malaga - a must for all interested in creative andalucian style explorations - never over the top , always grounded in the protagonism of first class product - every one of the 14 dishes was spot on (take the 2 extras they usually offer on top of the set menu - you might miss the best if u dont !) what a pleasure of a discovery - we will back asap!
