Great restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and a beautiful interior. The menu is well curated, the food is delicious, and the wine selection is excellent. Amazing and friendly staff. We’ll definitely be back!
The atmosphere was very beautiful and classic, the food and drinks were excellent, and the waiters and bartenders were very friendly. I hope to return soon :)
I really enjoyed La Malva because of its cozy ambience and the finality of food. It is beautifully decorated and it’s the perfect place for a date night with either a friend or your partner. On the costly side, but all worth it. I would put the music a tiny bit quieter but that’s just my opinion.
One of my best eats in Barcelona. Lovely staff, amazing atmosphere, chic interiors and great food! Would definitely come back if I’m in town again.
I love this so much. The food is yummy, the atmosphere and music is fantastic. It’s a very nice place to go for a date or lunch with the girls
We had the best time at LAMALVA, I had made a reservation in advance for 20:30, we were 15 minutes late and we still got seated at our table. The man who seated us was incredibly kind, the woman who served us was the best, kind, high- spirited and attentive. She also sang Happy Birthday to me, as my boyfriend kindly asked them to surprise me. The atmosphere, the interior and overall the experience was amazing. I would only suggest they play a little bit more jazz as I see it more fitting for this kind of interior and intimate dining. The price - food ratio was also great. You get delicious meals for a reasonable price. We wish we could've tried more of their food but we had eaten a little bit before going. Overall really recommend for a date, special occasion or just a fun girl's night.
Great atmosphere and good food, but I somehow expected a bit more. Everything was tasty, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back soon.
Warm interior with cool design, really kind staff, and delicious food. Nonetheless, the pricing is pretty high the food quality, taste, and aesthetic make up for the pricing. Highly recommended to order a couple different dishes to share and to spend a while not just dine and dash.
