The best restaurants Province Of Granada

Just a few steps from the Alhambra Palace, more than its new, yet sophisticated Andalusian cuisine, its exceptional view of Granada and the Sierra Nevada has made its reputation. The glass gallery of its rustic room or the pleasant green terrace of this Carmen allows you to enjoy a permanent spectacle. It is best to come in the evening, when the city is illuminated to be served by hotel masters, always good advice about the good dishes of the day (well presented using puff) and the wines of the region, the most interesting. A good note!

Located in the heart of Granada, it is a historical site founded in 1922, after having been a milk depot since 1903. Pleasant thanks to a Belle Epoque decoration inside and a large terrace, cooled in summer and heated in winter. For four generations, we have come here when we are hungry for a little sweetness. If it is hot, we will opt for traditional ice cream and try the excellent Copa Fútbol with nuts, turrón and amaretto liqueur, its famous leche rizada, milk, ice cream and cinnamon or refreshing batidos, granizados and horchatas. The smart advice is undoubtedly chocolate con churros, the house's great specialty, to be discovered without moderation! And except for addicts, more when it's cooler.

THE historic tapas bar in Granada! Located in a typical place (very close to plaza Nueva), it is always worth a stopover! Its long room and long counter are always very animated by cheerful waiters and a clientele composed of locals and tourists alike. The dishes to share are monumental, the preparations and sandwiches (bocadillos) are satisfying, and a cup of tapas is always offered with each glass. Among the sure values are the inimitably bitter vermouth to be completed with gin and the homemade gazpacho, delicious! The one that was malfemous, we are told, during the 1980s, continues to be an essential and timeless institution with an atmosphere that remains as fascinating as ever. It should be noted that, less relevant, the second address Antiguas Bodegas Castañeda (C/ Elvira, 5), which offers a little more solutions for sitting down, has not been under the same management for some time now.

Launched in 1994 by Jean-Claude Juston, a Frenchman who wrote culinary guides, this restaurant was taken over in 2013 by two Frenchmen from the Basque Country, Brigitte and Michel, who maintained its position as a vegetarian restaurant offering a refined world cuisine, tajines, risottos... most often made with organic products. All this to enjoy in a pretty Berber house with a terrace. And for those who need a breakdown service solution in terms of housing, the workshop also has two guest rooms.

At the end of Calle Navas, in this beautifully decorated house, taste specialities to delicious grilled meats in the oven (like the milk pig). This is the new branch of the well-known establishment near town hall. A new challenge for Antonio Moya, emblematic restaurant restaurant for over 35 years.

This former tavern (1917), moved near the town hall to Plaza Nueva and then a little further down recently, has a bar on the ground floor (with terrace) and a more elegant lounge on the first floor. Although a little touristic, but always appreciated by the people of Granada, Los Manueles remains a good place to eat raciones or snack on tapas. Taste gaspacho andalúz or salmorejo correct, famous tortilla Sacromonte, prepared meats or the typical dishes of the Alpujarras... Here, or even better, in its new nearby branch in the Hotel Monjas Carmen, the warm welcome is welcome, for the latter, in a quite modern and very quiet space, behind its bay windows or at the barra.

Near the Puerta de Elvira, here is a nice "healthy food" area with jazzy or flamenco music as a backdrop for delicious vegan dishes. In the cosy room sitting on benches or on the terrace in the shade of the parasols, you can choose among the specialities: pumpkin spaghetti with salad, avocado and parmesan, homemade pasta with a sauce of your choice or a wok of Asian vegetables, and chocolate truffles for dessert. The starters and main courses are quite copious. Accompanied by organic wines. Pleasant and relaxed service.

In the heart of the Albaicín, with an admirable view of the Alhambra, this table occupies a brilliant location in an authentic historical carmen, beautiful Andalusian villa, oasis as in the countryside. Named after the wife of Boabdil, the last Nasrid emir of Granada, who stayed there, it is one of the first establishments with a terrace to have settled in the district, more than 35 years ago! The Mirador de Morayma preserves a certain presence, sumptuous gardens and noble lounges with rustic decoration with period furniture, archaeological pieces and pretty ceramics... But the good reputation of this restaurant has also been made on its good cocina granadina, made within its walls from olive oil, exclusively organic..: fresh salmoreio, remojón salad (cod and orange) or pipirrana, crunchy asparagus with ham, sausage with tasty caramelized apples, typical Abadía Sacromonte tortilla, chicken breast stuffed with spinach, chuletas de cordero (grilled lamb chops)... As a dessert, choose from very good Arabo-Andalus-inspired pastries. As a bonus, a good wine cellar (including organic wines from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada) and another address with accommodation in the Alpujarras. Ring the doorbell, we'll come and open the door for the most attentive service!

In the heart of the Albaicín, this is an establishment that has been open since 1990 and offers an interesting menu, with cheeses and cold meats for snacking and then specialities on hot stones or fondues (truffles, mushrooms, meats...). You can also try octopus carpaccios or red tuna tataki. The address is also distinguished by a good selection of wines. Reservations are highly recommended, as the restaurant is always busy with young people.

Close to the Santo Domingo church and its beautiful place, efforts are made, both in terms of the framework and preparations. In a well-kept decor and a precious piece of food, with a view of the kitchen, the dishes are presented and made with know-how: some of the plats dishes (with a few new entries including a pastel of aubergines) and others more Andalusian or not (osso buco buco, orange sauce trout), with some personal touch. The service is pleasant and very fast, especially with regard to the menu, only false note: a rather mundane wine card. To discover with each one or each one.

An authentic and typical address at the end of the Albaicín (near Carniceros square), frequented mainly by locals. There is a wide selection of meats (sirloin specialties: solomillo), fish a la plancha and combination dishes, while at the branch on Pagés Street, a good assortment of tapas will do the trick. The menu changes according to the day and the season. In the summer, on its pleasant terrace, the seats are expensive. The tropical salad is magnificent and the staff particularly attentive.

The establishment is renowned for its traditional regional cuisine and in particular for its papas a la pobre (prepared potatoes), migas (fried bread crumbs) or lomo de orza (marinated pork), offered in a rustic but friendly interior, with a very pleasant terrace in summer. Located 3 km from the small town, in front of the Alhama River lock, it is a must stop for the Sunday walk in the region. It is also a hotel offering two types of accommodation, in hotels or caves, as well as access to the Arab baths.

Good address ensuring good land quality: Trevélez ham, exquisite cheeses… 

At the foot of Mecina Fondales, run by a Uruguayan and his Argentinian sons, this pizzeria/piano-bar restaurant is very pleasant and always crowded in season, offering a number of musical evenings, notably on Thursdays. Ute Kröner, the restaurant owner's wife, is one of the instigators of the Musica en las Montañas de la Taha touring music season (summer concerts in the villages) in collaboration with the Alexander Music School in Ferreirola (www.alexandermusicschool.com). On the nights of the full moon, all guests are invited to a glass of cava.

The name of two taties who once held the kiosk on the edge of the river Genil near the Paseo del Salón, the establishment (the same owners as the well known Wineries Castañeda and La Mancha) counts in the heart of the inhabitants for its attractive garden terrace (with brumisateurs, in summer), its hall will replace Belle Epoque (with beautiful photos of Granada from yesteryear) and its lounges of the Antan. reception. Tapas is tempting and the kitchen is not too bad for a full meal: partridge salad, loin or Iberian pig loin, seabream has...... 

Among the very best restaurants with terraces in Granada and Albaicín, this family business serves excellent homemade Mediterranean cuisine using good local products, while offering breathtaking views day and night, with illuminations. A stone's throw from the Mirador de San Nicolás, facing the Alhambra, the space, a carmen from the Nasrid era, is distinguished, superb with almond and fig trees. On a garden terrace or in a rustic and elegant lounge, after fresh salads or soups (hot or cold, depending on the season) welcome, make way for very beautiful presentations in generous portions: cod poached with peppers and shrimps or gratinated in hollandaise sauce, chuletón de buey con calabaza al Pedro Ximénez (rib of beef with squash and Jerez natural sweet wine), brocheta con langostinostinos sweet sauce with Sherry. The side dishes are just as appetizing as the meat (veal...) and fish (many bacalao dishes). The wine list will delight aesthetes, international travellers or those from the local bourgeoisie (the two main components of the clientele of this carmen) with many references including wines from the surroundings of Granada such as the pago de Almares (red) or the mencal (white), with a good quality/price ratio. In an excellent atmosphere, at the Mirador de Aixa (pronounced Aïcha), the meals always end with sublime desserts such as the holjadre of caramelized apples (puff pastry) and the kind words of the very welcoming owners, Paco, Carmen and their daughter, escorted by a very good team.

In a rustic setting or terrace facing the Hotel España, it is very «fortiche» in meat. 

Close to the tourist office and the town hall, this small restaurant launched by Carlos, a big hard-rock fan who organized the Rock en Frío festival, is now run by his brother Jesus and his wife Patri. With beautiful à la carte proposals and meticulous presentations. It is advisable to try the morcilla con cebolla, a deliciously seasoned pudding, flamenco, a homemade escalope filled with ham and breaded, and the cheeses of Montefrío, a goat with a justified reputation, accompanied by honey and jam. Which will serve as cheese and dessert. To be enjoyed in a charming setting decorated with old tools or on the terrace, very pleasant on sunny days. And let's be reassured that the rock festival always brings fans together in August.

The hotel specialises in vegetarian dishes, as well as barbecues, which you can enjoy sitting near the fireplace or on the terrace with panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada.

Close to the shopping galleries of El Corte Inglès, its refined décor, a tad precious white, grey and green, contrasts with large bay windows, a giant wine glass behind the counter, and a team in white costumes and traditional draw. The establishment of Gregorio García (assisted by his son), a leading catering manitou, flavour detector and incidentally former president of the Federación de Hostelería de Granada, has set itself the leitmotif of introducing sophisticated cuisine, using the most advanced and avant-garde techniques available at the time, while giving pride of place to top quality products. The bet is won in two dedicated areas, a gastrobar with well calibrated tapas and raciones and a chic restaurant for a more complete meal. Pizarra (eggplant with honey), huevos roto, lomo, homemade croquettes, good starter to share, the tender pulpo with fresh onions, hot potatoes and paprika is, as for him, very good, divine also the carpaccio de presa ibérica (piece of pork of choice) and liver with truffle oil or the half-cooked duck, without forgetting the roast lamb segureño, a sure value of the house to accompany good growth. In the end, a lot of creativity while keeping in mind the idea of making people happy...

As in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville or other major Spanish cities, where there is a saturation of tapas, why not go to this self of the chain well known for a fresh fresh buffet will be willing: with a plethora of ingredients to compose his salad as well as pasta, pizza and ordinary daily hot dishes, fruits, ice and coffee or infusion… A good opportunity to try to recover from dangerous mixtures, oils (olive) and alcohol (strong)!

On one of the largest pedestrian squares in Granada, facing kiosks of merchants of flowers and in Alcaicería (bazaar crafts), the grill room restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine, and traditional, Andalusian of good level, both in terms of quality and freshness of the products as presentation of the appetising dishes. In very pleasant summer terrace, as close to the passeggiata or granadine, or as elegant dining rooms and full of history, recovered well (columns, stone, beams, stucco...) with beautiful wine cellar and bar with tapas, on a map in different languages (do not escape!), you can indulge... For starters, by delectable scrambled eggs with boletus and foie gras, delicious fried eggplant with honey or the mozarabic salad or the bluefin tuna tataki. A lot of choice, also, in the large section dishes grace, in particular, with good grills braised accompanied by sauce (green pepper, mushrooms, roquefort...) and bread, octopus to the galéga, a fillet of espada's (fish sabres) to the oven or, according to the arrival, the roast suckling pig. Some pasta and pizza complete the list, especially for children. Mention for homemade desserts: pies with blackberries and almonds, tocino del cielo or piononos (specialities pastry chefs local). For wines (over a hundred, some are ordered by the glass), let yourself be guided by a very professional staff and references of Granada: white wine Calvente or red wine Deifontes fonte Dei, that delight!

Very well located on the very central and commercial Place de Bib-Rambla, near the Alcaicería, the ancient silk market of the Nazarí era, it is a contemporary establishment, on two floors with mezzanine and welcoming terrace. Its concept: The Mediterranean cuisine of the market, merging with the nikkei, resulting from the coming of a Japanese community in Peru… Sibarius comes from Sibaritas (which means gourmet), drifting etymologically from Sibari (Calabria), a Roman city known for the quality of its services in antiquity. On the program, in a décor highlighting the nobility of wood, a new gastronomic experience with new flavors and based on fresh and natural ingredients: fresh oysters, delicious sushi, scrambled eggs in foie gras, vegetable tempura and lobster, tataki or almadraba bluefin tuna tartar, ceviccios of Saint-Jacques or bar, carpaccios, causa Limeña (specialty of pre-Columbian origin), parrilla topp and Asian flavors, Mediterranean and oriental rice, tuna or beef burger, mix of octopus and potatoes (paja), tartones, lamb rides of the Sierra de Segura, braise meat, homemade desserts served in small preserved preserved pots and cocktails. In summary: infinite touch of touch and detail to surprise the most demanding gastronome. In a relaxing and entertaining atmosphere accompanied by quality service and a cellar (in sight) of excellent wines, Sibarius and its elegant decor between now, in the courtyard of Granada's great restaurants. Bold and interesting address!

Located in an emblematic building in Granada, near the Río Genil, La Cuchara in Carmela offers a map with colourful tastes and culinary traditions that will complement your experience in the region. In a welcoming lounge or on the large terrace you can enjoy traditional dishes and market suggestions. The rusa rusa, the huevos rotos con dads y de, the bacalao ou or el Rabo el of Toro estofado are recommended.

In this establishment, you can enjoy both the traditional tapas and pescado fried potatoes, as well as the delicious rice or seafood from the coast. Located next to Bib Rambla Square and the entrance to the main square of the Cathedral, El Pescaito offers a very good selection of fish in a pleasant environment where you can spend a good time during your stay. We recommend croquetones de gamba o bacalao, tortitas de camarones, mariscada or el arroz con bogavante. To be enjoyed in a room or on a terrace, on a pedestrian street.

Located in the center of Granada, right next to the Plaza del Carmen, this restaurant opened in 1987 and offers a variety of tapas and delicious dishes. The cuisine is based on the great classics of Andalusian gastronomy, which will allow you to try some of their signature dishes such as "rabo de toro" (a kind of stew), "fritura de pescado" (a kind of fish fry) or "carne a la brasa" (a kind of stew). You can also enjoy their two terraces, one on the emblematic Calle Navas and the other, more quiet, on Calle Sarabia.

It will be necessary to climb to the top of the village to find this garden of flavours opened in 2017, but the climb will be rewarded by the beautiful views of the Barranco de Poqueira, both from the cosy dining room and from the large terrace that dominates it. On the menu, there will be local flavours such as choto al ajo, cabrito or migas alpujarreñas but also Indian flavours since, when emigrating from the province of Almeria, the owners took their Indian cook with them. And they did well, the chicken tikka masala is tasty just like the Gulab jamun for dessert. So many flavours that you can also enjoy in tapas.

In the category "good restoration plans", perhaps among the best kept secrets of the granadina capital… Tucked in the "duck palace", this th century palacio-shop, hides a high-dress table, both in the kitchen (refined with fresh products), the service (applied and well informed) and the framework: modern gallery with fountain overlooking terrace in the outside garden. Admittedly the rates presented in this Senzone (name of restaurants in the Hospes luxury Hotel chain) are in keeping with the rank of the establishment but lunch or tapas dinner, as is customary in Granada and everywhere in Andalusia, remains very accessible. But, chut! We don't want to know too much, to keep the "exclusive" aspect. Behind the grids of this closed 5-star space, the spectacular urchin ballet ballet, on bed of large white salt, ris calf to season mushrooms, wild duck mallard or fish according to batch (like a San Pedro in the oven and its polenta) before ending with a flowing, bitter orange sauce… Presentation to point and innovative author cuisine… Privilege reserved for a rather international clientele or national (good families!).

A little hidden from Plaza Nueva, with a large bar and two lounges, a good atmosphere and a wide choice of Andalusian dishes (gaspacho, migas, Toro's rabo…) at honest prices. A family business since 1959, she has made her name in the area of simple and efficient local cuisine.

Very close to the beach, finally a place where the service does not let you poiroter very long even if the terrace is very full. For more than twenty years, people have been coming to Antonio's welcoming home for his prawns, tuna steak and grilled fish of the day and other charcoal meats (filet mignon, lamb chops, etc.), having taken great care to order some small green peppers (pimientos del Padrón) that are pleasantly spicy for an aperitif. A generous table that is always the delight of summer guests, both national and international.

The address of the house with terrace of Jesus Mesa Torre is a word of mouth for its kitchen mixing typical and internationalism: Mountain mushrooms, leg of the Alpujarras lamb with herbs, gaspacho of strawberries from the yellow garden… On the outskirts of the village: hat the artist!

Very well located on Plaza del Carmen, opposite the town hall, this pretty tavern with its chic bar look is a good stopover when walking around the centro. We sit on one of the small tables that run along the bay windows or in front of the large barra, the two areas that are more crowded on weekends. On the menu, good quality products, with specialities such as artichokes with foie gras, small beans, habitas, with ham and foie gras, ceviche in salads. Beautiful assortments of sausages or cheeses, to be enjoyed in the barra if you want to reduce costs. Service a little slower when the place is full, but the jazzy atmosphere makes tourists like Grenadins wait.

A beautiful location on the Plaza de la Constitución for this restaurant which offers a pretty terrace under the arcades that we will be keen to rally to engage in the art of tapeo, an area in which it excels. If the Palenga has taken over the square since the early 2000s, it has been taken over since 2010 by the son Juan Jésus, who has maintained his position as a "traditional family cuisine" while giving it a fresh look, both in terms of decoration and on the plates. After a seasonal "ensalada", you can let yourself be tempted by the carrillera de cerdo, if possible accompanied by the red or white wine produced by the house. Fruity and very pleasant. If it has seduced you, you can also buy a bottle of red or white.

A nice restaurant, but above all a beautiful terrace in the centre of Alhama to recharge your batteries during the visit. You can opt for a nice plate made up of cold cuts, croquettes, prawns, cheese, small local pâtés, accompanied by a few fries and tomatoes. With a glass of local wine in addition. We can leave on the attack.

Overlooking one of the small plots in the city centre, it is one of Baza's very good addresses, if not the best place to make a proper tapeo. To be served with beautiful ham and cheese dishes to share, a small very fresh Russian salad, a nice portion of tortilla, and some squids will complete the tasting. The address is famous for its fish and seafood, but rest assured, the chops are also delicious. To be enjoyed in the dining room or along the barra at the entrance, with a little elbow room, considering the world. But, whatever the pressure, the service remains fast.

It is one of the most popular restaurants in Riofrio. The opportunity to taste a traditional cuisine and the specificities of the place, such as trout. We also recommend solomillo de ternera, grilled and pimientos del piquillo stuffed with prawns. And as an essential dessert, the cheese pie. Very attentive service.

Opened in 1942, these "diamonds" on Calle Navas continue to be one of the highlights of the Grenadine tapeo, stormed as soon as it opened, since the tail has already formed before. Logically, it will be difficult to find a place along the main barra and not think about sitting at one of the very few tables. On the program, a lively atmosphere that does not prevent a very efficient service in the management of drinks, free tapas tours and orders. And on the menu, fish and seafood for the most part. Most often accompanied by a caña or a glass of white wine. While many tourists have included it in their tasting diaries, it is still a very popular place, appreciated by the Grenadines.

Near the plaza del Carmen, in this very popular street leading to the town hall, the place with also a room on the floor serves Spanish cuisine of constant quality, several menus (quality-price ratio challenging all competition) for all tastes (fresh fish at plancha, presents meats, typical specialities…). Day dishes are often good options for the Urquixa brothers.

Close to the approaches of the Alhambra, given its situation with its shaded terrace (but also with its typical lounges), it is a tourist stop of traditional and regional cuisine. However, it can be properly restored at a reasonable price. Good fish skewers, Alpujarras flat (pork grill and pork charcutailles) well-stocked, various homemade desserts… If you stop just to drink at the time of meal, think of asking for your tapas.

This is one of Granada's most traditional Arabic restaurants. You'll particularly notice the colorful atmosphere and the many lamps. Moroccan specialties such as couscous, tajines, pastries and meat kebabs take pride of place on the menu, but you can also sample the most typical specialties of Andalusian and Spanish cuisine (gazpacho, salmorejo and paella), with the certainty that they are halal. The tasting menu offers excellent value for money.

Located just off Navas Street, this is an address with a local atmosphere, set back from the tourist bustle. Africa, the owner, invites you to taste the specialties of the house elaborated with fresh products: meats and fishes to the braise, paellas, cheeses and cold cuts of the Sierra Nevada, accompanied by regional wines. It is possible to eat outside in the Plaza Cano. Before your meal, you can enjoy an aperitif at the bar La Tarara, on the corner, which offers gourmet-style tapas with a wide selection of wines.

A friendly tavern, at the foot of the Cuesta de Gomérez, which invites you to taste local products: cheeses, pâtés, Iberian ham, tortilla, salads. A wide variety of "montaditos" is available as well as a selection of traditional beers and regional wines. Everything is homemade with local products. And in the respect of the Grenadine tradition, a tapa will be offered with each drink. Dare to try more elaborate dishes such as Galician octopus. An ideal stopover after the visit of the Alhambra.

Located in the lower part of the Albaicín, this tapas bar owes its name to the Caribbean name for the tornado. It has nothing to do with what you'll find on your plate, although the rabo de toro (bull's stew, in this case beef) is the place's most famous dish, presented in a cloud of sauce. But you can also enjoy tuna tartar with avocado or braised octopus. Another advantage, given its location, is that it has a terrace with a view of the Alhambra.

It was in 1989 that it opened its doors, using part of its beautiful gardens as a summer terrace, where it served aperitifs and cold meals. Since then the place has grown, both in terms of the facilities offered and the cuisine concocted. With the arrival of nicely decorated interior rooms and outdoor terraces to enjoy the surroundings. The menu features seasonal products and you may be able to enjoy a green vegetable risotto or squid stuffed with mushrooms, if the weather permits.
