Fantastic experience: A magnificent restaurant. We came to eat yesterday, in the middle of August. Superb attention, very professional but also very hospitable. Very good fish quality. All fried with premium olive oil. Golden colour. We are from Malaga and we know what the best fried fish is. The sea bass with unbeatable salt. Thank you very much to the owners and their team and congratulations for offering first-rate value for money.

Fantastic experience: I emphasize, what this man has said does not make sense in the first place the fish is fresh and very rich, it is what a good fish is worth, I don't know if it knows it and secondly I think you will not find waiters like the bus, they are very polite and efficient In case they did not respond to him in the most appropriate way, what he owed hurt him was the price, I emphasize, it is what it is worth, one of the best rose restaurants. Thank you

Fantastic experience: According to the valuation logic that I always follow, La Gua Gua has an excellent valuation: - Quality / price ratio: it is very good, and highlights the enormous variety of the menu. You do not have to spend a lot of money to eat. In my case, I recommend the mixed paella. - Service: the staff is friendly and attentive. There is a very familiar atmosphere. - Facilities and accessibility: it is in a privileged place, on the beach of Canyelles. It is accessible, for example a person in a wheelchair and / or e-scooter can access the restaurant via a ramp. In short, a great place to eat and dine!
