“MMM......Malaga” is a gastronomic initiative being undertaken in the province of Malaga in which fourteen restaurants will be aiming to promote the haute cuisine available in this part of Spain, and encouraging greater creativity among the participating restaurants.

Many of the participating establishments have received international praise for their menus, yet remain relatively unknown to the local population. To encourage people to try a new level of cooking, special menus including three different tapas, a fish course, a meat course and a dessert have been set at just 45 euros per head. The menus have also been created to reflect the individual styles of the chefs in each restaurant.

Recognition

The province already holds a total of five Michelin stars, the highest gastronomic accolade, shared between restaurants in Malaga, Marbella and Ronda, and the participating restaurants see this initiative as an opportunity to promote high quality Spanish cuisine both to residents and the thousands of tourists who visit the province.

The group have published 50,000 copies of a special brochure giving details of all of the restaurants taking part and these will be distributed locally. The 14 restaurants are in Malaga, Marbella, Fuengirola, Ronda, and Torremolinos. Diana Serop of Roca Tranquila restaurant in Fuengirola said: “We are honoured to be part of this unique private initiative which we hope will grow and put the restaurants in the Malaga region at the forefront of quality and creativity in gastronomy. We hope it will become a melting pot for ideas and add to the reputation of Spanish cuisine, which is now on a par with that in Italy and France."

Roca Tranquila is situated on Calle Tórtola in Fuengirola. For more information about the restaurant call 952 196 067.
