MALAGA TAPAS, ST. ANDREW'S ROAD, GLASGOW
http://www.malagatapas.co.uk/
Situated on St. Andrew’s Rd in the southside, Malaga Tapas is not exactly in a prime position for the ‘toon’ crowd, but a five minute taxi effort is so worth it. Arriving on a dreich Saturday night, entering the restaurant was like being transported to sunny, Iberian climes. The Gypsy Kings played at a nice volume and the waiting staff are all Spanish, which immediately lends an authentic feel to the place. We had booked through 5pm – £10.95 for 3 tapas, a dessert and coffee.
On arrival we were presented with a little ‘freebie’ course of bread with pepper mousse. The tapas selection was varied. We went with the gambas pil-pil, chicken in creamy tarragon sauce, patatas bravas, mushrooms in garlic, hilos or beef strips in a chili sauce and meatballs in a spicy sauce. All dishes were fantastic. The nicest we’ve had outside Spain and definitely put chains like Andalucia and La Tasca in the shade. Standout dish was the prawns which were so juicy and beautifully spicy that they felt like they burst in my mouth. This was rounded off by a fantastic crema catalana, blow torched for us at the table. We have now found our new favourite tapas place in Glasgow.
