El ‘José Tomás de la gastronomía’. Antonio, como siempre, nos hizo sentir como si en nuestra propia casa estuviéramos. Respecto a la comida, Espectacular. El tartar de salchichón … la torta de atún crudo con trufa … esa sopa de ajo … esa pluma … y así podría seguir escribiendo ocho textos más. ¡ Y como No, mi queridísimo gazpachuelo, el manjar sin duda de Araboka !Una experiencia increíble! Las sabores son simplemente espectaculares y se nota desde el primer bocado que utilizan productos de muchísima calidad. El servicio es muy rápido y atento, y el dueño está al pendiente de cada detalle para que te sientas como en casa. Sin duda, uno de los mejores lugares para comer en Málaga. Volveremos seguro!Comimos menú degustación. Tanto la comida como el maridaje buenísimo. El servicio bien.Un buen restaurante en el centro de Málaga. Pedimos croquetas, boquerones rellenos, tartar de salchichón y ajoblanco para compartir y como principal atún. Todo exquisito. Un aciertoDe malagueños pa malagueños.
