We went to this place as a group of four experienced, but certainly not fussy diners and were treated to the most expensive and so far least enjoyable meal in our 2 weeks in Spain. The staff were attentive and professional and the ambience charming in an old world kind of way. The problem was the food. We ordered two... More

Rated highly on TA. Rated highly by Michelin, recommended by hotel staff, but this was so bad it could not have been just a "bad night". So far off the mark it wasn't funny and ironically the most expensive meal we have had in Spain. Just dissapointing for all of us. I usually only give good reviews but this review... More

We walked in on spec and were lucky to find a table as the season was just beginning. Excellent but informal service by experienced staff, delicious food and a traditional ambience without being dated. House red was a 2003 Rioja at 15 Euros!

We went to this restaurant for dinner and opted for the sit down meal (tapas by the bar also available). The restaurant is full of character with various dining areas decorated in the typical Cordoba style. The food was very good with a quick service. I would recommend you book a table as it gets very busy.

Just down the street from the fine hotel of the same name, we went to this restaurant twice and loved it. Lunch was very crowded, lots of action, reasonable prices, wonderful food. While we were eating, a group of locals next to us waiting told us this was the best restaurant in the city. We were so pleased we came... More

Charcoal is actually used for grilling meat. We were offered a complimentary drink and service was attentive. The artichokes prepared in olive oil were tasty. Both our veal and sirloin were well-prepared. The atmosphere is not as romantic as I would like, and the prices were fairly steep for Spain.

Came across this place when looking for a place to eat. Completely full - standing room only was a struggle to make our way back out again. We ate standing at the bar. Fast service. Steak was excellent. I seemed to be the only non-spaniard in the place, but not sure what the mix of clientele were inside the seated... More
