Excellent traditional Andalucian cuisine
Reserva 12 is located in the heart of the historic center and pedestrian zone in Malaga, just a few steps away from Larios and the cathedral. The establishment is pretty big with an area of tables and stools by the entrance where they serve appetizers and tapas. There’s another area for dining in the upper level (as well as private dining rooms), as well as a great terrace on the pedestrian street, La Bolsa. There’s modern and functional decoration, in black and white tones.
The menu focuses on traditional food in Andalucia, with a variety of appetizers (Iberian ham, anchovies, croquettes, cured cheese, etc.), scrambled eggs, rice dishes, fish, fried dishes, and meats (especially grilled red meats). It’s also known for its wine selection with a bodega of international wine and sparkling wines.
Good thing we had our table reserved and it was Friday night and there wasn’t room for anyone. Although this wasn’t actually our dinner (as we had planned to go to another place afterwards, although they served enough for it to be dinner), they didn’t stop serving us tapas and all types of appetizers. The best were: the croquettes, clams, fried anchovies, calamari, tomato salad…
Highly recommended.
