What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Recyclo Bike Café is praised for its unique, bike-themed atmosphere and its extensive vegetarian and vegan options. Diners enjoy the great coffee and craft beer selection, as well as the relaxed vibe. However, some reviews mention inconsistent service and disappointing food quality, with one diner describing a particularly negative experience with steak and slow service.
"No idea why this cafe only has 4.5 stars. It should be a 5.
Great coffee, atmosphere, and service.
Just outside of the old town, so generally a bit calmer & relaxed.
Can't wait to go back and eat here."
Nomadic Trev
"What a delightful breakfast café in the heart of Málaga! Its central location, right across the bridge connecting the old and new town, makes it so convenient. The funky interior design adds a charming touch to the atmosphere. I must say, the food was absolutely delicious—especially the curry chicken rice and the hummus, which were simply delightful! The prices were quite reasonable, and the portion sizes were generous. Plus, the service was impressively fast. A wonderful experience all around!"
YAFEA ALYAFEI
"We really enjoyed our visit to this restaurant! The interior was creative and stylish — I loved how the “bike repair” theme was thoughtfully incorporated into the design. The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes that left us satisfied. A nice surprise was the draft beer being available in three different sizes, which is something you don’t see often.
We ordered tacos and nachos with guacamole and black beans, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The staff were very friendly, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. Prices were reasonable too, which made the whole experience even better.
Definitely recommended —
🚴🍴🍺"

Recyclo Bike is a cafe attached to a bike shop, where you can rent a bike to get to know the city over two wheels. It serves meat, but nonetheless is a favourite among young vegetarians in Malaga. Its owner, Patrick Peckham, has been pushing to change the menu toward veganism: “I’ve always been surrounded by vegetarianism and for me, the kitchen is mainly vegetarian, with the meat like something to add from time to time”.

It certainly offers a multitude of vegetarian and vegan dishes in Malaga. The peculiarity of Recyclo Bike Café, opened in 2014, is that it is half café/restaurant and half bike shop (like the shop they opened in the Pedregalejo area in 2005). The cafe opened with a fairly small and terse menu, but it has evolved over the years to the present day.

Not far from the main market, this cafe is located at a newly designed square in the historic old town. Here you can find typical Spanish dishes also in a vegan version on the menu.
