Tapas bar · Calle Beatas, Málaga

Tapería El Beato

The same bar since 1999.

Málaga home cooking in the old town, on Calle Beatas. Beato style octopus, assorted fried fish and homemade croquettes. Almost everything comes as a tapa or a full plate.

Since 1999

27 years serving the same thing

We opened on a corner of Calle Beatas, with four tables and one griddle. We’re still there, in Málaga old town, sign outside and the same cooking as ever.

We don’t do fusion. We cook home food, and we still cook it the same way.
