Absolutely delicious place for tapas in Granada!…read more They brought us olives with our drinks, and we enjoyed the jamon iberico, the croquetas, some steak (we ordered the grilled pork shoulder, but the beef was delicious!). The wines by the glass were all lovely options, but you do get what you pay for. Get the more expensive option of the Duero del Ribera. We did not have reservations, but we were there early-ish (8:30PM) on a Monday, so it wasn't a problem.

Smaller, cozy full of character Bar area and the whole place is filled with bottles. 5 tables outside but for me inside was much more interesting. 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.

This place is probably a bit of a tourist trap, but we ended up here since they had seating and…read morewere serving food as early as 6:30pm, which is *extremely* early for Spanish dinner. 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.

The weight staff was impressive, recognizing new arrivals in the crowded quickly getting us drinks, taking care of everything after a couple of beers, we got a table. (Note that the restaurant is on both sides of the pedestrian street! ) Our waiter was cheerful and amusing. Although we mostly spoke Spanish, his English was quite good in the din of the small room. Better was the food . A really pleasant surprise. A major plus is the atmosphere which feels really authentically Spanish with a largely local crowd that night. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Such a lovely bar with free tapas!…read more My friend and I stopped by Saturday night around 10:30 and it was packed. 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!

We went for tapas and great tapas we got!…read more We had the beans in the little clay pots, we also split a machete anchovy sandwich (so good) and pimento stuffed olives. Plus the house vermut. It did not disappoint. The place is super busy (for a good reason) but the staff still managed to help us pick what we wanted. This is what a tapas place is supposed to be.. The bar is beautiful and those barrels of house made vermut made it look and feel so authentic.

This is a little tapas bar that is popular with the locals. We got a ton of food (1 small sandwich,…read moreone large sandwich, 2 croquettes, and 2 "free with drink" tapas) and 2 drinks (beer and vermouth) for only 10,80 Euros. Whooooa. What a steal!!! The downsides - they don't really speak English, the menu is Spanish only, and it's crowded and standing room only type of bar - so it's hard to get the attention of the bartenders if you don't speak Spanish or don't know how to navigate a Spanish tapas bar. The food was ok in terms of quality, nothing super delicious but not bad either. Just average. But the value was phenomenal. The free tapas options that come w your drink(s) are a saucy rice & meat dish w bread or a mushroom dish with bread. The mushrooms looked canned (ew) so we went with the rice/meat/veggies dish which was pretty good.

Standing at the end of the bar gives you a great view of the game, what people are ordering, and an easy way to ask for more food!

But pretty good food regardless. Free tapa was fried shrimp in _heavy_ batter, I preferred the mixed fried fish plate with a much thinner batter. It was fried just right to keep the fish crispy and fresh-tasting, without the batter getting too sticky or greasy. Shrimp omelette was okay but nothing too special. Shrimp and artichokes was in a nice lemon-garlic sauce but the artichokes weren't the freshest.

As for the entrees, I definitely suggest the stuffed eggplant. It was covered in melted cheese and filled with meat that was very flavorful and complemented the eggplant well. Missing it already!
