Eating out

# Tapas bars

There are **ten tapas bars** in Torre del Mar, concentrated in the pedestrian centre, so you can walk from one to the next without moving the car.

## How it works here

In Málaga province the tapa is normally **ordered and paid for**. The free tapa with every drink is a Granada, Jaén and Almería custom. There are exceptions in town: at Más Ke Tapas a customer was served paella with a beer, and at La Tasquita La Lola a caña with a small sandwich costs 3 euros, according to two customers this spring.

## Two things that catch visitors out

- **Mealtimes.** Lunch runs from about two in the afternoon, dinner rarely starts before nine. A tapas bar at seven in the evening will be quiet, and that is not a sign of a bad bar.
- **Many close one day a week.** Often midweek, sometimes the whole weekend. Check the closing day rather than assuming.

## Reading the ratings

As of 19 September 2026 the best rated is Virago, a 4.9 across 89 reviews, and the busiest is Jordi Bar Tapas, a 4.4 across 2,292, although that day Google listed it as temporarily closed, so call before going. Both figures are true and they say different things.
