Fodor's Expert Review Restaurante Alexso

Chef Jose Antonio Moyano takes traditional Málaga cuisine and gives it an innovative twist in all his dishes. Go for local favorites such as the fideos tostados con alioli de pimientos asados (baked pasta with pepper aioli) and the daily stew, or the beetroot carpaccio with smoked eel or the calamar con crema de apio (squid with celery puree). Finish with the "salmon sandwich with chips" for dessert, one of the best culinary "deceptions" in the city. Many dishes come as halves or wholes, so you can share and try a variety of dishes. There are also two value tasting menus (€35 or €50), with wine pairing options available. The venue is small, so be prepared for an intimate dining experience.
