ANDALUCÍA - MÁLAGA - RESTAURANTE KALEJA
KALEJA Michelin Plate IIO
This restaurant is Chef Dani Carnero’s new venture. Kaleja is a gastronomic restaurant located in the heart of the old Jewish quarter and based on reinterpretations of the traditional Málaga recipe book and enhancement of humble ingredients that have sometimes disappeared from large restaurants, such as beans, lentils etc.
There are two different dining areas in the restaurant, where three menus are offered. “it is a kitchen for everyone” says Dani , who continues to run his other restaurant La Cosmopolita, also located in the historic centre of Málaga.
One table is set in the kitchen and has a capacity for a total of six people, in an exclusive corner of the fire pit where you can taste the 'Notes' menu and observe the process of preparing each dish.
In Sala, the main room, which has six or seven tables, twenty or so diners can enjoy a more spacious service.
The three menus
Notes 14 is 14 courses € 75
Notes 12 is 12 courses € 65
Letter is 6 courses (five of them chosen by the kitchen team and one, chosen by the diner and can only be tasted in the main room) €50
I am not sure if all the descriptions are correct, as we never received a menu.
We chose the 14-course Notes menu and started off with a glass of Cava.
