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!

We were drawn by the affordable tapas (tortilla for 1.90€, croquettes for 2€, etc.) and got a great introduction to Andalusian dishes including Flamenquin and Salmorejo.

We had a pleasant conversation once we got inside, and we ended up ordering flamenquin, pan, salmorejo, croquettes, tortilla, and pastel Cordobese all for 9€ each. It was a very filling and delicious meal well worth the price, as it was essentially a three course meal with quality local dishes!

I've always been a huge fan of fresh juice... but theirs was way better... most likely due to their combination of fruits. We had the one with apple, pineapple and lime. Refreshing! To date, I still think about that glass of juice! Please note that there were no English menu and the servers do not speak much English. This is a sign that they cater to locals and not a tourist trap! We had to use google camera to translate the menu while we were there. However, the translation didn't work properly so we didn't understand most of what was on the menu. LOL. 1) We had the duck pate dish. Note that this is popular dish in Spain: duck pate, marmalade sauce and bread. This was our 2nd or 3rd time having this dish and we loved it each time! 2) Sardine pate - it came with lettuce, capers and bread. While my husband liked it, I swear I will not have sardines anymore in my life. (The other time I almost puked was when I tried sardine sashimi in Japan.) The fishy taste was just way too strong for me. I ended up just devouring the duck pate dish and sipped juice and latte. It was such a simple meal but I really enjoyed the experience! We had also just gotten to Cordoba after a long ride. We used this opportunity to chillax and figure out what to do in Cordoba.

Casa Pepe de la Judería is one of those places that locals, guides, and food lovers all seem to…read morerecommend when you're in Córdoba; and for once, the hype feels justified. Located in a beautiful historic house in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, the restaurant is full of character. Whitewashed walls, charming dining rooms, Andalusian details everywhere, and a rooftop terrace that makes you want to linger a little longer over lunch. The menu celebrates Córdoba's culinary traditions while adding a few contemporary touches. But the real gem is actually next door. The same owners and the same kitchen run a beautiful, light-filled patio where you can order many of the restaurant's dishes in tapa format. For me, that's the move. Instead of committing to one or two larger plates, you get to explore much more of the menu while sitting among flowers, sunshine, and the kind of atmosphere that makes Andalucía so easy to fall in love with. If you visit Córdoba, don't miss the salmorejo. Casa Pepe prepares an exceptional version: thick, velvety, and intensely flavorful, made with tomato, bread, garlic, and excellent olive oil, then topped with jamón serrano. Unlike gazpacho, which is lighter and more diluted, salmorejo is rich, creamy, and concentrated, with tomato and olive oil taking center stage. Simple food, perfectly executed. I also fell in love with the mazamorra cordobesa. Often considered the ancestor of salmorejo, this ancient almond-based cold soup dates back to the culinary traditions of Al-Andalus, before tomatoes even arrived in Europe. Creamy, refreshing, slightly nutty, and completely unique, it's one of those dishes that instantly connects you to the history of the place. The crispy pig's ear was delightfully rich and rabo de toro was nice - nothing special but a good slow-cooked, tender meat. If you're visiting Córdoba, Casa Pepe is absolutely worth the stop. But if you can grab a table at the restaurant for a nice formal dinner or a place in the patio next door and work your way through the menu tapas-style, you'll probably have an even better experience.

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.

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.
