Get the draft beer, goat cheese and carmelized pumpkin starter - these were very good. The tropical salad, gazpacho, and pât stuffed with salmon and cheese were also special. The five roasted cheese salad was delicious but vey rich - you cannot eat any more. The vegetal pizza and Iberian pork were middle of the road to poor. A cat, and two dogs wandered the tables sweetly seeking food. They got the grilled pork :-)

The portions are BIG so one dish and a salad will get two persons a long way. Make sure to try the lamb shoulder. The pork cheeks are very nice too. Also the house red wine is better than any wine we've had around here. It's good and served at just the right temperature. The restaurant is situated on a very nice square and the service is effective and they even speak a bit of English.

The dining area is in a charming traditional house. The food was incredible! La Tapa specializes in cassoulets and pates, and includes several vegetarian options as well as game specialties. We enjoyed the broad bean and ham cassoulet with a side of potatoes as well as an olive pate. It all sounds simple but was executed perfectly, and the chef is warm and lovely.

The staff were the most welcoming of any of the places we stopped in Spain and we're particularly appreciative of our efforts to speak Spanish. As the summer heat had brought out a good many flies by the late afternoon they were also more than happy to move us inside (mid-meal) when the little blighters got too much. As for the food, some of the most authentic rural delicacies are on offer here. Perhaps lacking some of the frills and touristy additions of the Cabo de Gato region or Granada itself (and a good deal less ham obsessed than its neighbour Trevelez) the cuisine on offer is nevertheless something to be experienced. Baby Goat stews and whole roast rabbit are two of my personal favourites from a fairly extensive list. though tucked into the village slightly it is exactly halfway "up" this narrow mountain village and with parking out front makes for a very convenient stop on a day trip through the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Good food, a nice spot and an extra star for the service alone!
