TABERNA LA MONTILLANA

Right in the center of town, opposite the Parroquia San Miguel, the old wine tavern La Montillana has had an excellent reputation since it was founded in 1948, both for its typical convivial atmosphere, its passionate bullfighting decoration, its exceptional beverages, its delicious traditional home cooking and its gatherings of loyal regulars, worthy representatives of Cordoba's social diversity. Renovated in 2008 and awarded the "Q" for tourist quality, the authentic, rustic tavern boasts noble lounges on the first floor and a gigantic interior patio on the first floor, marked by a multitude of deer antlers, hunting trophies from the nearby sierras, and a huge, life-size canvas depicting a bullfighter on horseback and his pike. Amidst the hustle and bustle, under the blessing of the five masters of Cordoba bullfighting (Lagartijo, Machaquito, El Guerra, El Cordobés and Manolete), enjoy jamón ibérico from Valle de Los Pedroches, salmorejo, fried eggplant with Montoro honey, grilled zucchini with Zuheros cheese, onion croquettes with béchamel sauce, artichoke stew prepared with Montilla wine, flamenquín.. And let's not forget the equally generous desserts, such as cottage cheese cake with hazelnuts and pineapple coulis! If you don't have the opportunity this time to visit the Montilla-Moriles appellation area, a well-informed and professional team will be delighted to present you with a tasting of the wines of tierra cordobesa (25 to 30 references): fino, joven (young table wine), tinaja (jar), excellent, oloroso, amontillado, palo cortao and pedro ximénez... A fine program in prospect.
