There's only one outdoor table; the rest of the seating is inside, so depends on your luck whether you can snag a spot. Luckily for us, there was one empty table inside. I got a glass of white wine for 3.70€ and my friend had a small beer for 2.60€. With each of our wine orders, you can order a small dish from the menu. It was nice having the option to choose, since most of the other bars I went to didn't give you a choice. The menu has a good selection of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. I was already full at this point from bar/tapas hopping, but my friend got the chicken in spicy Thai sauce and really enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone looking for something different for their bar/tapas hopping experience in Granada!

I ordered a Verdejo and my Server brought out a complimentary tomato Tapa and Salami. Tomatoes were super fresh and slightly salted-delicious! Everything on the menu looked good! I ordered the Sturgeon, Foie Gras and White Sausage. The Sturgeon was exquisite with the tomatoes and peppers pairing perfectly! Should have taken the big order. Foie Gras and white sausage (mild) were simple, tasty and didn't disappoint. My Server was friendly and worked to bring out the dishes as they were ready given my time crunch. About an 8 minute walk from the city center and well worth it. Make the stop for some high quality/reasonably priced Tapas and Wine in a unique space.

To their credit, the service was the "best" (most attentive, by US standards) of almost anywhere we've been in Spain so far. That said, the food was average and at least partially frozen-reheated. The cod and oxtail were both cooked pretty well, but didn't come out entirely hot. I'm pretty sure the roast potatoes with most dishes were frozen/reheated since they were a bit sqiushy, and so were the green peas and such. Bread came automatically but was commercial and nothing special. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't especially great either.

But once we heard about their food/wine tasting, we made sure that we put forth our best effort in finding this place on our last day in Granada. We actually went there twice- the first time we thought they were closed, but it turns out that we didn't find the right entrance. Anyway, if you want to have the food/wine tasting dinner, you pretty much need to make a reservation ahead of time. (Although we lucked out that evening without one). The place is really small, and won't seat more than 9 people. The tasting is meant to give tourists a sense of what the locals typically eat and drink. The food is simple, fresh, and worth every euro you pay (~30-40 EU/person). You have the option to purchase some of things you get to taste (olive oil, wine, Jamon Iberico, etc.) when the meal is finished. The owner Francisco is a super nice old man who explains every bit of what is brought to your table. We ended up tasting 5 different wines, 3 different olive oils, and so many courses of tasty food (small courses, as it's a tasting) that our meal took roughly 2.5 hours to finish. Don't come here planning to have a fast meal. You need the time to thoroughly enjoy what's placed in front of you. La Oliva is an absolute "Must-visit" if you're in Granada.

7 years ago I lived in Granada while I was studying at the university. Before moving back home to…read moreKansas, I bought presents for family and friends. My dad is into cooking and fine ingredients, so I had to get him some high quality olive oil from Granada. The only problem was that I knew nothing about olive oil. Luckily enough, I walked up calle Varela everyday from my Residencia to the Centro de Lenguas Modernas where my classes were. On this walk, I saw the sign for La Oliva down one of the small side streets almost every day. After months of this routine, I finally dropped in to La Oliva to see if it could help me find the olive oil I wanted to get my dad. Upon entering, I met the owner Francisco and he carefully taught me about the differences between the different olive oils and sent me on my way with three unique bottles of oil to give my dad. This impressed upon me such a positive experience because it was so rare in Spain that someone would have the patience to talk to me and teach me about the things in their store. After 7 years hiatus, I just returned to Granada, bringing my brother to show him the sites and to tour southern Spain. Remembering my experience at La Oliva, I decided to drop by again and see if the store was still there, and to buy more olive oil and other authentically regional gifts for friends and family. What a pleasant surprise! Not only was the store still there, but Francisco greeted us with a friendly smile and a genuine delight to have the opportunity to teach us about olive oil and other regional products. Upon telling him that I'd returned after 7 years, he shook my hand and gave me his genuine thanks! He promptly sat us down and told us he had to go buy some bread so that we could taste the different olive oils. So, we waited while he ran down the block to the panaderia. He returned and gave us samples of 4 different olive oils and sat with us answering our questions about the differences in the oils. He proved incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the differences between organic and conventional oils, why olive oil is so cheap in Spanish groceries, and how the weather and landscape affects the taste of the olives. La Oliva and Francisco are the real deal. If you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere in which you can purchase authentic regional products from Granada and the south of Spain, this is the place to go. Francisco speaks Spanish slowly and in a clear voice and even speaks a fair amount of English as well (he told us that he studied English in Oxford, England several years ago). Beyond olive oil, he also sells turron (regional sweet typically eaten around the winter holidays/festivals), sherry, wine, and a number of produce items. In addition, he also does some catering and private dinner events in the store. While I haven't eaten there, I bet the food would be superb. I cannot recommend this place enough as I think it is perfect for tourists and Spaniards alike who want to learn about and purchase authentic regional specialties. Most importantly, I cannot recommend this place enough because if it's another 7 years before I get the chance to return, I sincerely want La Oliva to still be there!

The restaurant didn't look busy so we walked in thinking we might get lucky without a reservation. The hostess was very kind and asked us to wait a little so she was able to seat us in the limited outdoor space. The menu offered both seafood and meat dishes. We sampled quite a few of them. For starters, we had the clams, red shrimp, and fried little white fish. We liked the red shrimps and fried white fish but not as much the clams. They were bigger, meatier but somehow not as good as the one smaller ones we had in Seville. For main courses, we had the braised ox tail, baby lamb chops, tenderloin, and cod fish. They were all very good. The braised ox tail was most memorable. Highly recommend this local establishment of 50 years.
