Birthday dinner
in Málaga's
old town.

Forget the karaoke and the laminated group menu. A grown-up birthday can be a good table, a slow evening, and a dessert with a candle if you want one.

Can you do a birthday cake? −
Yes. At Mestiza Gastrobar, in Málaga's old town, we turn our flourless chocolate cake into your birthday cake: a candle, and a song if you want one. Just tell us when you book. As a seven-table place on Calle Echegaray, it's easy to look after that moment.
Is there a set group menu or minimum spend? +
No to both. At Mestiza Gastrobar, in Málaga's old town, everyone orders from the full menu. For larger groups we may suggest a few sharing plates to start, but it's up to you. We're at Calle Echegaray 3.
How many people can you seat for a celebration? +
At Mestiza Gastrobar, in Málaga's old town, we can seat up to ten. With only seven tables, a group of ten takes up half the restaurant, so book well ahead. For six or more, call +34 744 792 705.
Can you handle allergies for the group? +
Yes. At Mestiza Gastrobar, in Málaga's old town, a good part of the menu is gluten-free or adaptable. Tell us the details when you book. We also cook with gluten, so for high sensitivity we'll be honest about what we can guarantee.
