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.

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.

Between main shopping rue Larios and cathedral, innovation well-located for good malagueños dye; they, moreover, already adopted this establishment and its branches, here in Málaga, or in Torremolinos. Chic, one nothing chewed, this space and comfort, with enormous bar, very high tables and stools, lounges and small terrace, in the dish views. For aperitif: langostinos ajillos (small langoustines enhanced by garlic), fried alcachofas (artichoke heart) to swoon, atun con porra (tuna), not bad... If you decide to stay, with the pianos, a cuisine of traditional Andalusian dishes without telling it: good choice of fish (fish, monkfish sabres...) and seafood (clams, prawns...) and then some classic solomillo meats (pork, beef or veal and rooms of lamb). Small delights between people of good taste, rather around fifty, also come for the extensive menu from the wines, under the auspices of a team of apprentices in white suits.

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!

Founded in 1996, this restaurant located in the port of Garrucha continues to expand its large terrace facing the sea. With seafood and fish specialities, from the lonja, Garrucha auction. Its regular customers particularly appreciate lobster rice, salt sea bream and zarzuela a la marinera. But if you prefer prawns, rest assured they are also excellent. A barra corner allows you to focus on the tapeo and you can finish the meal in the chill out with a chupito while enjoying the nightlife.

Well in place for more than thirty years in a fortiori, its rice, red gambas and fish (oven, plancha, prepared or fried) are warmly recommended by the regional stage.

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.

Bold and interesting address!

Since March 2023, this Acebuche has replaced the former Pintada. Chef Axel Guilbert, who previously worked in the kitchens of Barcelona's Disfrutar restaurant, is at the helm. His aim: to create a gourmet restaurant showcasing local produce, executed with a personal touch. Don't hesitate to try star dishes such as Cazorla trout or cordero segureño (local lamb), and finish with a dessert combining cookie and virgin olive oil ice cream. Enjoy in the lounge or on the orange-tree patio.

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.

In a huge area entirely decorated with bullfighting, old and contemporary posters, two large chimneys operate continuously to cook grilled, fish and other chorizitos. The meat is of course excellent, always very well cooked, and the house gazpacho very successful and refreshing. A good choice of small tapas for more modest appetites. Small inner courtyard.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Tapas and raciones generously served for a low price and ambience guaranteed evenings of sporting meetings!

Ideal for taking the pulse of this calle feria, one of Seville's up-and-coming streets. And ideal too for beer lovers, given its reputation as a "temple" of good beer, which flows easily. Serve with a tapeo of mussels, cod, traditional Andalusian mojama, a fillet of dried tuna and a few olives. And let's not forget the house vermouth, with its orangey taste, which is also very famous. And it's all done standing up, even if a few tables and chairs have been added. But every pleasure is worth its trouble...

The large terrace of this address is often packed. And with good reason: the menu of tapas and raciones, all homemade and tasty, is very extensive. We also come to see Juan Antonio, the owner, who serves, greets tables, laughs, chatters... all the character that makes up the restaurant's atmosphere. If you prefer to dine a little more quietly, or for two, a pretty little room is available inside. As for the dishes, the rabo de toro and the Arroz negro con choco are well worth the detour.

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.

There will be little tastes of France and theatre for those who will have the chance to come and eat in this place. Opened since the beginning of 2018 by Juan Lú Fernández, chef de cuisine at the Aponiente restaurant for 10 years. On the theatre side, it is the art of cooking and the products that are highlighted. Located in the centre of the restaurant, the kitchen functions as an "island" according to the chef and will allow you to follow the preparation of the dishes live. Either sitting on the barras on either side of the central island, or from a few tables, accompanied by their Louis XVI style chairs. And the prepared products, essential according to the chef, are displayed with all the honour they deserve. On the French side, you can enjoy a Bresse duck with Périgordine sauce, poultry raised in France and a whole series of sauces such as gribiche or beurre blanc. Not to mention of course the seafood from the Bay of Cadiz. Baba or chocolate soufflé can close the meal. With a wine list that logically favours Jerez wines.

Since the creation of the Carmen Market, Casa Miguel has integrated the new building but it is a much older institution since its creation dates back to 1868. Needless to say, you will be able to enjoy a host of tapas, scrupulously written on the blackboard, but also in the view, at the barra. To be enjoyed indoors or on the terrace.

Nice bright red space for this house installed in the pedestrian center. You can sit there or prefer the terrace or the barra, between the two. The products are fresh and of good quality and the touch is deliberately modern, with a menu composed, in part, of woks, ceviches and tataki. We like the black rice wok with chipirones and aioli or why not the millefeuille with liver and goat cheese. For dessert, you should try the homemade soufflé, a recipe that has been maintained since the creation of the restaurant and that continues to delight choco addicts.

Extremely well located in the center of Priego de Cordoga, just a few meters from the Plaza de Andalucia, this welcoming restaurant has made a name for itself with its specialties ofrabo de toro (bull stew), revueltos (eggs mixed with vegetables or ham), and garlic roe. Not forgetting its flagship tapa, calamari in sauce. As is often the case, there are several areas to choose from: the tapeo corner at the entrance, and through another door, an all-white comedor for the hungriest of eaters.

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.

Its terrace with large stools is as successful as its typical renovated interior. Near the cathedral, an excellent small tavern with a classical appearance but still well frequented. The art of serving good wines, a quality reception and simple but dignified cuisine. Everything is homemade, from tapas to desserts and main courses. Among the specialities: tortilla with whisky, guisos marineros (stews), cazón en adobo (shark), presa ibérica de pork noir (black pork presa ibérica) or chestnut pudding.

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.

After the dubious appearance and a little hospital of the building, the outdated super decoration terraced on two levels as well as a little left will put it complete the view with walls covered with awards or autographs with celebrities come to lick your fingers with the cuisine created by Juanito and Luisa, however, it is here that are served among the best meals of Baeza! The culinary tradition of the province and inseparable and delicious olive oil are, of course, guests of honour of this address legendary, founded in 1953 and visited by king Juan Carlos when he came to trail his gaiters in garnishes: escabeche of perdiz, choto frito (GOAT), alcachofas con panecillos (artichokes), the best papas with pobre (potatoes with delicious olive oil) and sweets as canutillos of creamy… Mention for the cellar with height.

Located between the parroquia of San Ildefenso and the Plaza de Toros (bullring), this former horse riding club welcomes you in a most rustic setting with walls displaying deer horns. In season, you can enjoy its game specialities, but all year round its homemade tapas and raciones are among the most sought-after in the city, with special mention for their migas . This is a good opportunity to enjoy the typical dishes of Jaén, as quality and freshness are guaranteed.

Located in the lower part of the city, this is the address that Estepa has been missing. In two separate areas, the restaurant offers haute cuisine with recipes based on Mediterranean dishes, and a gastro-bar with tapas by the author. There is also a fine selection of wines for everyone, to be enjoyed by the glass or by the bottle. Since its opening in January 2012, this place has been a hit with local visitors, but also with those passing through who come to appreciate this "avant-garde in the country" restaurant.
