1 Michelin Star restaurants in Malaga
By 2026, Malaga has gained a new Michelin Star, bringing the total to 10 Michelin stars in the province this year, a new record.
Palodú * Malaga
A new Michelin star was awarded for 2026 in the historic centre of Malaga. Palodú, with the chefs Cristina Cánovas and Diego Aguilar at the helm.
The restaurant, located just steps from the iconic Atarazanas Central Market, has implemented the “dual kitchen” concept.
Its two chefs trained in renowned restaurants such as El Lago, Tickets and Tragabuches.
In this personal project, their cuisine is approached without hierarchy, with the utmost respect, using raw ingredients without excess or unnecessary artifice. No dish leaves the kitchen without both of their approval.
There are two tasting menus, a long one and a short one, “Palodú” and “Alcazul,” each with its own wine pairing.
Address: C. Sebastián Souvirón 7-9, Malaga
Telephone: +34 951 77 71 01
Blossom * Malaga
With the Argentinian Emi Schobert at the helm, refined palates have a new incentive to stroll through the historic centre of Malaga and let themselves be delighted by the gastronomic proposals of this chef who has been awarded his first Michelin star.
Blossom was awarded the coveted distinction in 2025. Originally located just a few metres from Malaga Cathedral in an alleyway, the restaurant suffered a fire a month after receiving its Michelin star.
It has now found its new home on the fourth floor of the Museum of Malaga.
The elegant 300-square-meter space, with its wood-paneled walls, features eight tables and a maximum capacity of 30 diners.
It also boasts a terrace with views of the Alcazaba.
Blossom offers two tasting menus, differing in the number of courses: Esencia, with 9 courses, and Confluencia, with 15 courses, each with its own wine pairing.
The restaurant boasts an extensive wine cellar with over 600 wines.
Address: Museo de Málaga, Plaza de la Aduana, Málaga
Kaleja * Malaga
In 2023, this minimalist restaurant located in the historic centre of Malaga has been added to the list of Michelin-starred restaurants in the city.
The peculiarity of this place run by chef Dani Carnero is its different approach: He works with the heat of the embers in long cooking (called “cocina de candela”) as in the old days.
There are two tasting menu options with fresh products depending on the season.

José Carlos García * Málaga
In the animated, urban space of Pier One (Muelle Uno) in the port of Malaga is located this Michelin-starred restaurant, and in fact, it was until now the only one in the capital of the province.
It is an elegant and exclusive minimalist restaurant of glass, reed and steel with signature dishes. The restaurant has only a few tables, in order to guarantee diners a unique, intimate and highly personalised experience.
Another detail that distinguishes the restaurant is that its kitchen is located in full view of the customers, which allows them to observe the way in which the dishes are cooked.

Nintai * Marbella
Marbella added a new star in 2022 thanks to sommelier Marcos Granda with his Japanese restaurant Nintai, which opened after returning from a trip to Japan in 2019 and marvelling at its culture and use of raw materials.
The restaurant is limited to twelve exclusive seats around a wooden bar where the Itamae (Sushi Master) prepares the food with premium seasonal products.
Address: Calle Ramón Gómez de la Serna 18, B, Marbella
Telephone: + 34 952 608 966

A new star in the Marbella sky was born in 2023: Back with David Olivas at the helm.
The restaurant presents itself with a casual, modern bistro-style twist, blending traditional Andalusian cuisine with contemporary creative cooking.
Back is located in the centre of Marbella, just a few steps from the Parque de la Constitución and the promenade.
