MALA is one of those places where it’s impossible to be unhappy! The food is off-the-charts delightful in every category without being ostentatious and the service is the perfect mix of attentive and unobtrusive. We devoured the crispy, light and flaky fish and chips, along with our steak and eggs which were each cooked to eggsactly the temperature we ordered.

Ideal location by the ocean. Plenty of outdoor seating. Food is delicious although quite expensive. With that said the food is always absolutely delicious, gourmet so it may be expensive but it’s worth it. Just make sure you pay attention to ask the price of desserts because a scoop of sorbet was $12.
