Georgina recommends …… Matahambre

For tapas with a twist in a fun, vibrant environment I’d heartily recommend Matahambre. This is a chain with popular restaurants in Fuengirola, Estación de Cártama, Alhaurín el Grande, Marbella, Malaga, Jaén, Córdoba and Seville.

All the restaurants serve up a huge variety of intriguing and delicious tapas which is a far cry from the traditional. It is inspired by foods from all over the world, so you can have seared tuna with pickled ginger and wasabi mayonnaise, Thai-style crispy chicken with sesame seeds and a yummy dipping sauce, wraps filled with beef or chicken, roscas with various fillings, kebabs, blinis with fun toppings like hot-dog and crispy onions and much, much more. Beware, the menu is like a book and can be a bit daunting, but ask for advice and the helpful staff should be able to lead you through it, the Marbella one even has an English menu.

If you live in the Calahonda area, you should check out the lovely New Black Cat Pub run by Marleen and her partner. It’s a nice place with a mix of Spanish and English customers and a pool table. When we lived there we used to enjoy going there for drinks and tapas.
