Think about all the pasty sunburnt British tourists in Malaga. Cambio de Tercio is about as opposite as you can get from that....in fact, as parallels go, Cambio is probably the hidden restaurant in the small Spanish village that only the locals know about. If the owners cared just a little bit more, the place would be in with a shout for their first Michelin star....it’s that good. The restaurant doesn’t seat many, so reservations are required. Avoid the tasting menu and go a la carte with nearly everything a hit and with innovation consistently surprising us. Try the foie gras which comes in a shot glass and go tapas style throughout the night accompanying your choices with some Iberian wine. The restaurant was Spanish restaurant runner up in Time Out’s Eating and Drinking 2010 guide and has been packed ever since with people travelling across the city to eat here.
We’ve been here several times, with the manager giving us some excellent tips on where to eat in his own country (La Zacaleta in Ibiza for example). Apparently Rafael Nadal eats here when he is in town for Wimbleden, but then again wasn’t that guy born on the streets of Mallorca? If I want a good Albergínies Farcides instead of fine dining, I’ll ask him.
