La Cosmo | Dani Carnero | Restaurant in Málaga

La Cosmo is a true hidden gem in the heart of Málaga, created by Chef Dani Carnero. The focus on seafood and fish is exceptional. We had the best oysters and scallops we've had in a long time. The menu features highly creative dishes, like a flan beautifully contrasted with the flavor of salty popcorn. The atmosphere is relaxed yet vibrant, with attentive and friendly service. I would honestly return to Málaga just to dine here again – an absolute must-visit.

La Cosmo, en el centro de Málaga, ofrece una experiencia moderna e informal con una cocina sencilla, directa y centrada en productos de calidad. Destaca por platos como la ensaladilla de merluza y la gilda. El ambiente es relajado, con cocina abierta Excelente relación calidad-precio, ideal para disfrutar de sabores malagueños con un toque creativo.

Had dinner for two at La Cosmo after recommendations by waiter at sister restaurant La Cosmopolita. And the food was amazing!!! We started with a delicious cocktail, and delicious bread ( ). For dinner, we went for: 1) tomato with basil oil and cottage cheese sauce 2) Leek a la carbonara 3) duck with homemade barbecue sauce and 4) octopus with piparra sauce. All dishes were, for us, a 10/10! 1) tomato with basil: we drank the sauce - and the tomatoes were firm and tasty 2) leek a la carbonara: WOW! If it's on the menu, and you love onion and carbonara, then this one is made for you. The soft leek that brings out the sweet, onion flavour, in combination with the egg yolk and saltiness of the parmisian... So delicious, and perfect to share as it is really rich in flavour. 3) Duck with homemade barbecue sauce: duck was cooked to perfection, and the sauce...... Incredible! One of is isn't a fan of the typical, cheap barbecue sauce, so was sceptic at first. But this one had the perfect balance of smokiness, salt and sweet! A real surprise, with a nice fresh salad (could personalle have a bit less vinegar for one of us). 4) Ultimately, we had the squid. Two little squids with piparra emulsion. So tasty, as we love a whole squid and cooked to perfection. Overall, for us a great experience. Personally regarding service & atmosphere: we like a bit more warmth & atmosphere from staff when going dinner. However, we do understand that when a restaurant like this wants to achieve a certain level of experience, this type of service fits. I think you do experience a different vibe when you are seated at the bar, and get to talk to the chefs a bit. For two people, we spent 115eu and had 4 dishes, 3 glasses of wine and 2 cocktails. Thank you La Cosmo, see you soon!

I recently had lunch at La Cosmo in Málaga and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious and arrived quickly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. What really stood out was my waiter, Emilio he was positive, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. Thanks to his recommendation, I tried the flan for dessert and did not regret it! So far, this is the best restaurant I’ve tried in Málaga. Highly recommended for both the food and the excellent service.

Incredible restaurant in the heart of Malaga. We ordered a few starters and a main, and every dish was bursting with flavor and freshness—some of the best food we had in the city. While there was a bit of a language barrier and we ended up with a different wine than expected, the overall experience was still fantastic. The atmosphere was lively yet refined, and the quality of the cuisine really stood out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience

Espectacular! Cada plato que probamos era mejor. El olor, la intensidad de los sabores, el trato del personal. El vino que pedimos estupendo. Muy contenta, volveré seguro

Fantastic meal. The cauliflower with chili emulsion was a highlight, delicate and flavorful. The breaded entrecote was tasty and worth trying once. The muslin sirloin was tender and beautifully plated. Corn flan for dessert was excellent. Service was kind, attentive and almost too quick at times since it was a quiet hour. The recommended wine paired perfectly. A great spot far above the usual tourist traps and one I’d happily return to.
