Malva Restaurante - BRONX

Fantastic dinner in an unexpected setting. The food and service was great. We weee talked through the menu, ordered a La carte and then we’re presented each dish. The rabbit and pork belly were the talk of the table.

Great food, gourmet, bistro, and foodies will like this place. Fine dining at an outdoor restaurant .

We’ve been big fans of Roberto for years. Malva doesn’t disappoint! Spectacular presentation of relatively simple ingredients in creative and delicious dishes. I recommend getting the tasting menu for sure.

This was my very first time visiting Valle de Guadalupe, and it did not disappoint. First, the view. With this place being just a few minutes from the shores of Ensenada this location was a hidden gem. Aside from the beautiful view of los viñedos, the restaurant boasted of its own unique and contemporary elegance. The tables were situated overlooking the beautiful valle while the atmosphere felt both comfortable and elevated. Finally, the experience. Each item contained a variety of various unique flavors and a plethora of different flavors every dish delicately selected with careful intention. A combination of humble origins and immense creativity each dish was nothing less of a beautiful masterpiece. The experience could have not been better than the service we were given. Fer, our server, did an amazing job painting the picture of each dish in extensive detail. His ability to highlight the various areas of which each ingredient came from was the foundation of the entire experience. In short, your trip to Ensenada and Valle de Guadalupe will not be complete without an experience like this. I am thankful for everything and everyone who showed us the elegance of Mexican fine dining.

Located in the heart of a vineyard, this restaurant offers a breathtaking view while you dine. The friendly dogs that guard the vineyard add to the charm, with one in particular seeking head scratches by resting his head on your leg. Although service was a bit slow when we arrived right at opening, it was understandable as they were still preparing for the day. The presentation of the food was impeccable and made for an enjoyable dining experience. The horse mackerel dish, though not in the shape of a rosette, was delicious with a nice touch of citrus. The sea urchin flan was rich and satisfying in flavor. The gyoza, while lacking crispness on the bottom, had a flavorful ox tail filling. The ramen broth was slightly too salty, but could be improved with a different preparation method. The catch of the day was decent, though the fish skin was a bit soggy. The suckling pig dish was tasty, but could have benefited from a crispier skin. The desserts were the standout, with a pumpkin dish resembling lavender milk cereal topped with salted caramel ice cream, and a creative carrot cake made to look like a real carrot.
