The special dish of this restaurant is the meat, roasted in the open fire, and also fried Argentinian sausage served both in a sort of a table barbecue with the special Chimichurri sauce.

The history of the chocolate raises up to the 1519 when Hernán Cortés sailed to the shores of Mexico. Due to its curative and restorative qualities it became popular and through ages kept widespread all over the world. Nowadays it is one of the favorite sweets of both children and adults. In calle Granada, 49 the chocolate is the king of the hearts. They sell chocolate imported from Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil and other countries. Besides, one of the rarest and most curious kinds of chocolate there is the salted one mixed with spices, cheese, steamed salmon, or even, anchovies, and all this leaves an impression that in a second a character of “The Chocolate” movie will come in.

On this picture you can see what the Larios street is like. No matter if you have already seen it during the day, don’t doubt to see its night transformation. In winter, during the week it is full of people till midnight, but on weekends, it wakes up only after 9 pm when the people leave their houses to start a tapas pilgrimage. At this very hour all the restaurants open the doors and begin to serve supper. At the end of this street there is the central square, Plaza de la Constitución, where the Town hall, the city Prison and the Jesuits college were located until 1896.

The Larios street is the most central pedestrian street of the city, and it is there where bars and coffeehouses, banks,clothes and shoes boutiques are located. This street is visited daily by more people than any other street of the capital. Both to the left and to the right you can see shops and restaurants.
In Summer, when the heat reigns in the city and all the shops are closed for the siesta, you can stop at one of the oldest ice-cream parlor, for example, at Casa Mira, and taste the traditional toffee ice-cream there. And not far from this place there is the Lepanto, another traditional coffeehouse with a cute terrace right on the Larios street, where they serve the best raspberry cakes of Málaga.
