The Carmen Gay Bar

The best cuisine in all of "Mercedes Plaza", neighborhood restaurants usually take their dishes from here. And probably the best Gazpacho in all of Andalucia (the chef's secret)

Really yummy tapas and great portion sizes!! Super welcoming too. The food came out pretty quick and exactly as described. My favourite was the croquettes!!

We stayed in the square so this restaurant was like our local. It wasn't busy as it was raining so we sat inside. Took a while before we had our order taken.

Ordered some tapas and a paella 🥘 (Been told it takes 50 minutes to cook) So you know that's cooked from fresh.

Good service.

I can't really judge the atmosphere late on a rainy Tuesday evening.

5 stars!

My wife and I ate lunch here recently and the food and service were fantastic. Our waiter Fran, offered several helpful recommendations for the best plates considering our preferences.
The flavors of everything that we ordered were very good, and the meal arrive very promptly. Prices are also very inexpensive, considering the quality and quantity of food served.
We plan on returning to this bar in the future during our stay in Malaga.

The pub features a vibrant and welcoming ambiance, as well as a wonderful assortment of beverages and tapas. Tapas were quite tasty, with a wide range of tastes and textures. The onions were standouts, delightfully crispy on the exterior and fluffy on the inside. The prices were also quite affordable, making it an excellent bargain for the quality of the food and service.

We have eaten here most day’s breakfast and lunch. The portions are big and delicious. We have had the smoked salmon which you get a lot of salmon compared to a bar down the way. We had tuna baguette and chicken salad on our last day we had the bacon , egg and tomato which was very nice. Theo was so helpful and spoke English very well. We would recommend eating here

We had the daily menu - a salad and chicken for the main course for only 11,50€. Both courses were delicious and sangria as well. Friendly staff. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Our favourite place here in Malaga. Great food and great drinks, really fair prices. A real recommendation. Ivan, Fran, Alex, Santiago and Carlos are really great waiters and so nice. Thanks for the great time here, we loved it ♥

We stopped here a few times for drinks during our stay in Malaga. Great location in a popular square. We also had several tasty tapas and carrot cake. Our server, Frank, was very helpful and attentive.

We loved this place! The terrace is so nice, the staff are very friendly, and the food is amazing (and a great price). We would highly recommend. :)

We have been here 6 days in a row.

We had a nice brunch here! The Service was great and the waiter was super nice to us.

Fast and friendly service in the center of Malaga. Food was delicious and affordable. We especially loved the goat cheese and caramelized onion toast! Also a good cocktail list, plus smoothies and other drinks.

Great LGBT friendly bar. In the heart of Malaga . It's beneath the picasso house square. You won't miss it out.

Very satisfied- the tapas were good, large and for a good price. There is also a daily menu for €9.50 including a drink and dessert. My waiter (with a beard) was extremely nice and had a great mood. Recommended!

I do highly recommend this place! Loved the excellent service and the food was absolutely delicious. (Not to mention the price!) LGBTQ+ friendly. A big plus are the clean toilets! :)

Nice food and good service!
