About La Malvaloca

Tapas done with enough care that the presentation alone stops conversation — that is the register La Malvaloca sets on the Alameda, at the foot of the illuminated Setas de Sevilla. The large windows frame the street well, and the room is the kind of place where the food arrives looking like someone thought about it. The empanada draws the most mentions, followed closely by the french toast, the artichokes and the oxtail cannelloni. The Basil Smash cocktail has its own following. Service is the other reason people come back: Patrick and Kamar are named repeatedly, for attentiveness and genuine warmth. Reservations are worth making.

La Malvaloca 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, La Malvaloca has drawn 38 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
