Malvarosa

Malvarosa The sunshine of Spain at Edinburgh's seaside since 2011. Although I enjoyed the experience I always felt there was something missing. Our tapas... Muy ricas!
(304)

Coming from Madrid, where food is a major part of the culture, I’ve always been very keen to try Spanish eateries here in Edinburgh. It was not just the sunshine but the real flavours. Determined to recreate my roots, my wife, Sarah, and I decided to open a Spanish Tapas restaurant. It only seems right to be near the sea to evoke holidays and Portobello is the perfect place.
