Restaurante Antonio

Restaurante Antonio is a seafood restaurant at Calle Playa del Chanquete 41 in Pedregalejo, a former fishing district on Malaga's eastern waterfront, in the Andalusia region of southern Spain. Pedregalejo is known for its row of beachfront seafood restaurants, and this address sits within that tradition, a few kilometres east of the historic centre. The cooking is Malagueño seafood, with fresh fish and shellfish as the core, though no Michelin recognition or chef lineage is documented. The listed signature dishes combine seafood with home-style plates. Boquerones victorianos are fresh anchovies, breaded and fried, then served with a dressing of vinegar, garlic and parsley, a specialty strongly associated with Malaga. Homemade pork sirloin offers a meat option for diners who prefer something other than fish, prepared in the house style. Scrambled eggs with young garlic, ham and prawns, a revuelto, combine soft eggs with cured pork and shellfish, a popular dish across Andalusia. These choices make the menu approachable for mixed groups. The dining room character is relaxed and seaside, with a casual atmosphere typical of Pedregalejo, where locals spend long lunches especially at weekends. Noise rises at lunch, which is the main service of the day for Spanish families, and on warm evenings when the district is lively. Beverages generally include cold beer, Spanish wines and dry Andalusian whites suited to fried and grilled fish, with a full list not confirmed. Prices are mid-range, typically €25–€40 per person, with fish sold by weight potentially raising the total. Reservation practice should be checked directly with the venue, and booking ahead is advised for Sunday lunch, summer weekends and holidays, when the Pedregalejo promenade is crowded. The venue is reachable from the city centre by bus or taxi, and a walk along the beach promenade before or after the meal is a common part of the visit.
