Asador Contrapunto

A space focused on produce-driven cuisine and open-fire grilling, where beef from oxen raised on the pastures of Pazo Recimil in Galicia takes centre stage, alongside fish and seafood from the Málaga coast. Its culinary concept reinterprets traditional recipes with influences from other regions and is accompanied by a carefully curated wine selection.

A concept based on three pillars.

At the Áurea Palacio de la Tinta, Asador Contrapunto shapes a gastronomic proposal built on three essential pillars: product, charcoal grill and care.

Our cuisine is rooted in traditional recipes, reinterpreted with absolute respect for seasonality and the surrounding environment. In Málaga, the sea defines its character: fish and seafood from our coastline take centre stage, alongside dishes that are part of Andalusian identity such as porra antequerana, gazpachuelo and ajoblanco, not forgetting popular sweets like borrachuelos and torta loca.

This Mediterranean foundation is complemented by a nod to Galicia, the origin of our company, reflected in unique products such as beef from our Casa Recimil in Lugo, subject to product availability. Sweet wine completes the experience, adding nuances that accompany both savoury dishes and desserts.

The charcoal grill, using holm oak embers, is the soul of the kitchen: precise fire for freshly landed fish from the fish market and carefully selected meats, always cooked to perfection.

All of this is made possible thanks to an expert and attentive team, with a single aim: for every meal to be enjoyed unhurriedly and remembered with pleasure.
