You wouldn't believe you'd find the internationally recognised Japanese chef Masao Kikuchi working in this tiny restaurant in a working-class neighbourhood in Malaga. But there he is. We were told by the owner, Mª José, that when Kikuchi was working for the Guadalpin Hotel in Marbella he got really poorly and had to undergo some serious surgery. Mª Jose's family took care of him then and it's with them that he is working now at this modest restaurant. That's the story. And we get to enjoy his cuisine. One of the advantages of the restaurant is that the menu is divided into tapas and sushi, so that both sushi lovers and those who can't stand it can still enjoy eating out together. The place has just a few tables and a little terrace so making a reservation can become some challenge now and then. But don't give up, it's worth it. Average price per person: 30 €.

I agree, Lola. Kikuchi san is one of the greatest and certainly the most experienced Japanese chef we have in Spain. Rocio Tapas y Sushi is all about good, authentic Japanese food and good value with no frills, and Juan and Mª José are marvelous hosts.
