When I visit Granada, I always stop by this bar for a nice glass of red wine and a big plate of Jamon Iberico de Bellota. The bar is stunningly beautiful, inside and out. I have never had a meal here... as meals are completely unnecessary in Granada! This city is meant for going from bar to bar be it... More

We were advised that fish is their specialty and were not disappointed. Smoked salmon and vegetables starter was very good. Monkfish and hake were both excellent, and just the right amount. Good and helpful service. With 3 beers the bill came to 72 euros. Not cheap but not expensive either, especially considering that the fish was among the best we... More

I have been here a few times, first taken by Granadians, just to drink a glass of red wine at the bar and to savour the fantastic Jamon de Bellota. At a solid 22 Euro's for 100 grams (the "medias racion" is 75 grams for just under 15 Euros) this is only a tiny bit more expensive than what you... More

This French Bistro type restaurant is one of the best I've visited. Superb food, nice and attentive service and a beautiful interior. Situated in a perfect location in the center of Granada. We choose a fillet of beef that was good in size and perfectly cooked. However the grilled tune in sesame and soy sauce was our absolute favorite. Price... More

Recommended by a friend, we tried this restaurant for lunch and were not disappointed. Beautiful interior, friendly and attentive staff and a fantastic menu to choose from. Delicious tapa served while waiting for our food to come. We chose a steak dish and a grilled vegetable platter, both amazing, as was the wine to accompany our food. Oh and the... More

Very good experience here, service was good, relaxed atmosphere, and liked the mix of people at the bar and people dining. Ok, its not cheap, but its not that expensive either (€140 for 2, incl apertifs, 2 starters, 2 mains, €30 bottle of wine, expressos). Our biggest mistake was getting 2 starters (which were expensive), because you also get tapas... More

PDC, as I'm calling it now, hits all the notes very well. The food, service and location are all very good. So collectively, to me, it makes for an excellent choice for a relaxing meal. The octopus "tokio" style was cook perfectly- like buttah, not rubbah. And we shared a T-bone that was easily the best meat I've had in... More

Everything with this place was wonderful; the interior was worth the visit itself. The food was excellent, the wine list also. Friendly waiter who spoke English well. The place was filled up with locals in the bar and tourists in the restaurant.

very nice restaurant overall. warmly decorated, good service, extensive wine list and --most importantly-- quality food. A bit more pricey than nearby alternatives perhaps, but worth it.

This is a very attractive bar, at the end of Calle Navas and just off the town hall square. Good atmosphere, very good decor, and very high class tapas menu. Good to start or end a special evening here.
