About Restaurante Magnolia

Dinner at Magnolia means climbing to an upper-floor dining room that sits quietly above the street, calm enough for conversation even when every table is taken. The cooking is Mediterranean with real ambition: the croquettes are the most-mentioned thing on the menu by some distance, and the carpaccio, hake and tataki all draw consistent praise. The wild boar ravioli — a cut of meat most diners have never tried before — keeps coming up in reviews as a genuine surprise. Desserts are not optional here: the cheesecake and the chocolate cake with cream ice cream both get called out by name. Staff know when to appear and when to leave a table alone; Monica and Elena are mentioned by name for exactly that kind of attentive, unhurried service. At €35 a head with wine, it earns its reputation.

Restaurante Magnolia is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.

In the last 90 days, Restaurante Magnolia has drawn 24 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
