This is a Michelin ***. My review is obviously superfluous, but anyways…read more.. This is top-caliber food. Some particularly impressive appetizers included the cod bun (super intense fish flavor without being fishy), the appetizer meat stock, the bread service (perhaps the best pita I've ever had, and the most crunchy croissant I've had in years). Among the main dishes, the beluga lentils were super rich in flavor, the sea bass was cooked perfectly with some perfectly crispy skin, and I didn't even know almonds could be pickled. Unlike at the last *** I went to, there were no dishes that left me entirely confused, although some flavors were still unfamiliar in a good way. My dining companions liked their wine tasting, which I didn't try. My only complaint would be that despite the historical posturing of the menu/performance art, the service was aloof enough that we weren't always entirely sure what we were eating. Unlike at Scandinavian ***s, the servers aren't especially chatty, so while the food was delicious, I'm not sure I fully appreciated the historical project.

I should start by saying I was very enthusiastic and excited to come to Noor (high expectations) as…read moreI like the style and flavors of north Africa and southern Spain more then anywhere else in the world. Ohhhh man was it dissapointing... Three stars??? Aside from some superb wines--What am I missing? The expereince starts with a hand washing "ritual" they poor some water over your hands essentially... awkward. For me this was rather gimmicky and strange, as was the little board timeline thing which was ultimately irrelevant to the wide ranging ingredients used throughout. The english used at reception and at times throughout the meal was so rehersed it felt uncomfortable and unnatural. As this is spain I can forgive that. I was the first guest to enter the restaurant. As I sat alone in a still and nearly silent room the entire service team and kitchen gawked at me as I waited uncomfortably for the experience to begin. The menu was so unmemorable I cant even recall most of the first dishes, a little tuna bite no better than an average sushi joint. A mildly flavored rosemary soup of some kind that totally missed. There were two maybe even three savory dishes with some frozen element which has been a big fad recently and I heavily disliked them. Maybe thats personal preference but it was not working. After leaving I literally went and ate a whole bocadillo con morcilla and an ice cream cone haha, which was better than both deserts combined. I was very hungry arriving and left feeling as though I had mainly filled up on bread. Which they serve three different styles without butter or olive oil. The breads are good but they are not good enough to stand up without some accompaniment. The bread and butter at Bardal for instance was insanely good. A simple thing like that can work but not when your bread is meh. The Fish entree with spinach was probably the best of the dishes but nothing was great. I have been to many one star places with better food. Ultimately I was very dissapointed. I have no clue how this gets 3 stars and Bardal has two. They are not even the same league of quality in my mind.

Para pedir, nos atendió Dave Ryx, con otra sonrisa y contento de guiarnos a travez de un menú desconocido. Comenzamos con las croquetas y las berenjenas fritas - versión tapa, ambos deliciosas. Comimos media porción de deditos de pollo frito que sirven con una salsita espectacular - lo recomiendo. Y, por supuesto nos convenció a tratar la torrija hecha de forma inigualable y calientica. Pedi una sopa que no nos agrado y rápidamente la retiro sin problema ni costo. Aparte de la comida, lo mejor fue conocer a Jose y David- ambos, atentos y zalameros, que no dudaron en complacer nuestro menu infantil. Gracias chicos, hasta la próxima!

We arrived at exactly 8 pm for our 8 pm reservation, but the glass door was still locked and the…read morestaff inside just glared at us until we walked away. Not a great start. Once inside, the atmosphere was very pleasant, having been seated in a large, open atrium with ornate carved stone walls and doorways. We asked for a large bottle of sparkling water but were told that they only had small bottles at €2.50 a pop. Small bottles mean more profit for the business but are inconvenient and more expensive for customers. We started with a bottle of the Speak of Silence /Extremadura, a dark red wine made with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo grapes. At €22 it was a decent value (average price = €19) with a 4.1 / 5.0 rating on Vivino and rated one of the top 2% of wines in the world. It was good, but I am not sure about the top 2% claim. We ordered and shared several dishes, so I will elaborate here: - Mixed Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette (€6.10): Nothing special, just an overpriced salad - Cordoban Salmorejo (€5.10): A local cold tomato soup emulsified with olive oil, Iberian ham, and egg, it probably would have been better warm or hot. It was tasty, but different, not something I would order again. - Cordoban Flamenquin (€14.75): Another local dish, pork loin stuffed with ham, breaded, and fried. It was good but a bit dry so I dribbled some sauce from the oxtail on top. It would have been better with an accompanying sauce, but then it would not be Cordoban. - Cordoba-style Oxtail (€13.95): Two small knuckles with barely any meat and eight small french fries scattered on top. The sauce was good and what meat that was there tender, but €13.95 for four or five mouthfuls? Definitely NOT a TravelValue. - Solomillo Boletus (€19.25): Iberian pork tenderloin topped with a mushroom sauce, it was delicious, but €20 seems a tad high for a few pieces of pork and a smattering of fries. Our server, Jose Rey, was professional and attentive and we were very pleased with his service. Another thing I did not like was the coercion to submit a 5-star review at the end of the meal. We were handed a card stating Ïf you don't like something, say it here¨but ¨Ïf you liked something, say it outside¨. I tell it like it is, so I do not appreciate being coached on what to submit in my reviews. The meal was good and the experience pleasant, but the few shortfalls we experienced kept me from giving them one of my top ratings.

We ordered the cod over the creamiest mashed potatoes of our lives and calamari over black ink orzo. Both equally delicious. I thought the calamari serving was skimpy (only 2 of them) but tasteful and cooked perfectly. We were "scared" to try the black ink orzo but wowsa was it scrumptious. Note though that the menu is fairly small. It's one page that they have printed on a clipboard in several languages. It's not the menu you see on line. My hubs also enjoyed a Spanish beer.

5 Totally earned stars for food that had us returning the next day for more!…read more We stumbled upon Casa Mazal while walking around the small streets in town and the decor and delicious smells pulled us in. We were seated right away (a fairly large party) and ordered Muhammara and bread to start and a sangria pitcher. The sangria glasses came with a cinnamon stick and fruit inside them- which added a nice touch and made this one of our favorite sangria experiences of the trip. The muhammara and bread were the perfect start. The bread seemed fresh and the muhammara was rich and deep in flavor. We ended up ordering the reinvention of hummus and reinvention of falafel for the table and they were devoured by all. Definitely recommend! Two other dishes I'd recommend trying are the eggplant with honey and sesame seeds dish as well as the gazpacho with mango. Both these dishes sounded unusual to our American tastebuds, but we were thrilled we ordered them because they hit that ideal balance between sweet and savory. Once again, I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from service, to ambiance, to dishes were superb!

It's a really nice restaurant decorated with wine bottles and accents of brick and blue plates. We met Executive Chef Modé, who waited on us and brought me a perfect vodka tonic with lemon. My friend had a beer and then we shared small bags of breadsticks. We shared the oxtail paella which was the best and the only one I have ever had, and basically, it was almost tempting me to order another dish of it. I chose to skip it and go to dessert, having a brownie with vanilla ice cream and another vodka tonic. My friend took a shot at this flat pumpkin pie with an actual top on it. Everything was perfect there and I will definitely come back if I ever get the chance to return to Cordoba. I highly recommend stopping here and letting the kitchen staff take good care of you.
