About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
This majestic open flame grill is inspired by the sight of living fire and the aroma of fresh ocean air kissed by salt. Dedicated to the delicate art of seafood preparation, the entire experience is centered around an energetic open kitchen. Each dish incorporates an element of smoke, charcoal, or fire, some subtle, others more obvious.

From abundant raw bar presentations to whole fish grilled for two, this pleasant nighttime restaurant celebrates the beauty of the sea and the power of flames.

    Malpeque tiene una decoración muy elegante e ideal para el ambiente de playa. Cada platillo resultó súper original con un sabor delicioso. Pero lo mejor de la experiencia fue el servicio de Samuel y la atención del Chef Mauricio Lazcano que amablemente llegó a conversar a nuestra mesa. Muchas gracias por hacer de esta cena una vivencia inolvidable

    Food and staff were incredible as we ate outside facing the water and beach. There were creative dishes as well as beautiful plating that made the experiences even more wonderful.

    Orlando, our server was fantastic. Beef wagyu was a hit with two of us as was the scallop ceviche and tiger shrimp. Skip the pork dish. Chocolate dessert was fabulous. Loved the sax player as well. Great spot with delicious aromas as you walk in.

    It’s an overpriced and glorified resort diner. The steak was overcooked, then the second one was undercooked, the mashed potatoes were over whipped, and the white wine came out at room temperature. Service was the highlight due to great conversation, but I can’t recommend the food here. Unfortunately if you stay on resort you have limited options to dine at. I’d suggest staying somewhere else.
