El Balneario - Baños del Carmen

The BEST restaurant in Málaga and I can’t emphasise how amazing it is! The most delicious sea food, romantic and warm atmosphere, outstanding service and gorgeous sea view. A special thank you to the best waiter, Adil, who made our evening unforgettable. You guys are fantastic ❤

Amazing views of Málaga just five bus stops from Paseo del Parque bus stop. On the beach. Friendly staff and very good service. The building itself is a piece of history very well maintained. The food was freshly made and very tasty with good-sized portions. Worth a visit. They also offer the place for events. The ground floor terrace is huge, and there is a smaller terrace on the first floor and a generous internal space, too. Loads of options to choose from. If you're lucky you might even see some dolphins swimming around.

We forgot to take a picture of the fish which was truly tasty, a lumbina perfectly cooked. Although the place was pretty crowded being Saturday afternoon We managed to get a table to enjoy the well-known ensaladilla. One of the best i have had so far in Spain. Service was good, especially considering the large number of guests across the restaurant. I think there was even a wedding or some sort of reception upstairs

My recent visit to El Balneario - El Baños del Carmen in Málaga was an absolute delight from start to finish. This hidden gem along the coast offers a perfect blend of relaxation and beauty, making it an unforgettable experience.

The historic charm of the venue immediately captured my attention. The tastefully restored architecture and the soothing sound of the waves created an ambiance that felt like stepping back in time. The views of the Mediterranean Sea were simply breathtaking, and the gentle sea breeze added a touch of serenity to the atmosphere.

The attention to detail in the service was remarkable. The staff members were not only attentive and friendly, but they also seemed genuinely passionate about ensuring every visitor had a memorable time. The menu was a culinary delight, offering a range of dishes that were as visually pleasing as they were delicious.

What truly sets El Balneario apart is its unique ability to cater to different preferences. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner by the sea, a laid-back afternoon with friends, or a quiet moment of personal rejuvenation, this place has it all. The clean and well-maintained facilities, combined with the lush gardens, create an inviting space that feels like a tranquil oasis.

In summary, El Balneario - El Baños del Carmen exceeded all my expectations. It's a true gem in Málaga that offers an exceptional experience for anyone seeking relaxation, beauty, and a touch of historical elegance. I can wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved 5-star rating.

Beautiful place to eat right on the beach. Friendly and accommodating staff. Our food had a good taste. I do recommend if you want a relaxing sunset dinner with an amazing view. Get reservations for good seating. I recommend the grilled sardines.

Delicious food and good staff. The view was great too

Not a crystal clear five star score but all in all we had a good time. We came early to reach the sunset. We had the goat cheese salad as a starter. Very good indeed. The grilled brass was perfect with vegetables on the side. My fried squid was ok. They could have let them stayed one more minute in the fry. Waiters was there for us, not to enthusiastic but nothing to complain about. Nice view all the way. Very popular on this Tuesday in August. Gluten free alternatives. Wheelchair access also at WC. No parking as we saw it, parking in the street. Bus stop outside.

It’s a great spot, next to the sea,with amazing food. The wine was good. Service is great and we will definitely be back again.

Gorgeous views, delicious food and excellent service. Went here for our last night in Malaga and it did not disappoint, our waiter was amazing and so attentive. Would recommend the sea bass and cheesecake😋

Spanish evening with great food and top service.
And all this in a beautiful atmosphere directly at the ocean. If you can, go there in the evening and enjoy the sunset with some red wine and the great food.
Maybe you are lucky and there is also some life music.
I had such evening due to a special event and it was awesome... great... no other words about this.

One of the best Restaurant along the coast with Malaga’s panorama. Fresh Fish, rice, tapas and meat. All what you want to stay well and confortable with your girlfriend or family. The staff are Professional and kind, the restaurant has a terrace with bar.

The best place to witness the Malaga sunset at 270 degrees. Great location to cherish the changing colours. Good restaurant to enjoy the evening wine, along with great food.

Not the cheapest (9 euros for paras Braga's and 4.50 for sardines vs 2 in other places), but worth the food and service... Oh and just a mention of one of the best sea views in the city!

By the sea a local gem, Juan Antonio and Ishmael were so attentive, Habie helped arrange my birthday lunch, 5th time here will be back amazing.

Nice place, good food, service was very good. Waiters are professional and friendly. The best we like -location by the sea🏝

One of my favorite places in Malaga. Have been here a few times in December 2017. Sat outside enjoying the sea view and the amazing sunset. Good mainly for aperitivo and a quick bite. Very lively and crowded mainly of local people, often with live music.
Affordable prices, probably not the best for food.

Everything was very nice, although nothing was amazing.
Portions were decently big, and we could have had just a starter each.
Service was fast and friendly.

Simply... the BEST "by the sea" restaurant that you can hope for, in Malaga ! That is, if you are planning to have lunch from 3pm til XXpm, on an outstanding outdoor terrasse, with your feet toes pretty much close to the sea !

Besides this amazing location, the service is swift, the food is good (not delicious) and the prices are acceptable given the upper class standing of this "more than just another chiringuito"

And, from May til September, you'll get a live music performance AND you will see locals dans the "Sevillana" !!

What else ?

Nice location with great view.
Good food and service

Location is amazing. Prices are ok. Service was ok. But totally worth it at theend.i would go again
