Food

Came here for tapas and the drinks and food were excellent. Ended up returning for lunch the next day and was even more impressed. Service was excellent and staff were friendly. Tinto de verano and beer were great. We also had chicken nachos and grilled pork, both were excellent! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great tapas bar.

The food here is out of the world!! We enjoyed all the dishes we got so much on our first day in Granada so had to go back. We tried oxtail burger, grilled octopus, aged steak, assorted tapas, curry cod, and grilled squid along with red wine and sangria. All AMAZING. Our server Javier was very attentive and gave us great suggestions both times. Lastly the ambiance was romantic and casual.

What a fantastic experience! My wife and I were only able to be in Grenada for 1 full day and we came across La Vinoteca. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Robert was our waiter and he gave us great suggestions. If you takeaway nothing else from this review, just know for us it was a must re-do. Not only did we enjoy lunch, but we came back after 20:30 and finished off the night with some tasty drinks and tapas!

Very good! This place was right around the corner from my hotel. Wine selection was good as well

Vinoteca is a sweet oasis from the hustle and bustle on Gran Via. So much so that in my two days in Granada we went twice! The ambiance is one of my favorite things about this place. There are only a few high top tables outside then inside there is a front room near their wine cellar and the back room is decorated very cool with the tops of wine crates and flowers on every table. Their menu has a mixture of appetizers, plates to share and excellent wine. Although they have some classic Spanish tapas on their menu, they had quite a few things that catered more to our American tastebuds. Their wine menu had quite a few choices including wine made in Granada. The wine can be ordered by the vaso (glass) or botella (bottle). The menu has all their choices in Spanish then the English translation is directly under it. They also gave us a book with pictures of their dishes so this can be helpful if you're still not sure what anything is as well. Make no mistake though, even though it was an easy and comfortable experience as tourists there seemed to be mostly locals or native Spaniards eating here. Upon being seated they bring you a plate with a few slices of Spanish cheese (I think Manchego, but whatever it was it was delicious) and bread crisps with olive oil and some seasoning. They also bring a basket with fresh bread. The first time we came here we ordered the quinoa, tomato and avocado salad with chicken, gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) and the mushroom risotto. All of these dishes were amazing. The shrimp was my favorite because of all the roast garlic. We each got a few glasses of the rioja (red) which was great. The second time we came here we again got the quinoa salad then a bocadillo (open faced sandwich) with caramelized onion and Brie cheese and the tuna tartare with guacamole. My favorite from this meal was the tuna tartare. It was beautifully presented and had on the platter wasabi, a light mango purée and a dish with soy sauce with sesame seeds. It was served with bread crisps. This visit we got white wine. The waiter recommended an excellent seco (dry) white. My friend ended up drinking 3 glasses and I had 2. The service was excellent both times. My friend and I spoke in Spanish to them and it was evident they were willing to speak English but one of the waiters was complimentary and encouraged us as we slightly struggled through some of the words. They came to check on us and they were great both times. The location, food, ambiance, service and overall experience was outstanding. I highly recommend this as a relaxing and charming experience.

Love this place! My family of four needed a place to have dinner on Christmas Eve and Vinoteca made it easy with a reservation. Ordering was a breeze since they had a booklet with pictures of every plate - yes please!! My family was given some Queso de Oveja to start and ordered the Rueda de Montaditos, Huevos Estrellados con Jamón, Hamburguesa de Rabo de Toro (oxtail), and the Lomo Alto de Ternera to share. It was more than enough food and extremely memorable, as the oxtail was divine. Truly appreciate the attentive service and the friendly atmosphere - thank you again!

Garlic shrimp

Absolutely wonderful dinning experience. Place opened at 7:30 and we were the First there, within 30 min it was already packed and for good reason. Tapas were flavorful and decent size serving. Lots of reasonably priced wine selections. We loved the caramelized onion, smoked salmon, and pork with mustard/cheese apetisers. The grilled squid, garlic shrimp and grilled vegetables were also top notch - on top of that all dishes were very reasonably priced so you get a lot of value. Highly recommended. Would come again.

great bottle of wine

Great place right off the popular Elvira street. They open at 8pm for tapas. Food was fantastic. We got there right at 8 and had no issue getting seated but within 15 minutes I think the place was packed and there would be a wait for a table.

I love oxtail, so I had to try their oxtail burger. Along with it, I ordered a glass of wine that came with a free tapa. The tapa consisted of thin slices of crunchy toast with a slice of cheese. A nice small bite that paired well with the wine. The burger itself looks awesome and is a good portion of meat. It's nice to have an entire thick patty of oxtail meat without having to deal with the annoying oxtail bone. Also, the sweet caramelized onions on top added a bunch of flavor, and the gravy added some moisture. Not to mention the nice crispy chip on top. The only complaints I have are the meat was slightly dry and didn't have much seasoning or flavoring, though the gravy and onions helped somewhat. Overall, La Vinoteca seems like a nice place with an interesting menu. The oxtail burger is a great way of satisfying your oxtail cravings.

Free tapas with drink

There are casual seats for quick meal or drink and cozy wider seats inside. They had even a Japanese menu also one with pictures of dishes. Must serve a lots tourists. The salmorejo soup was amazing and rich. So I ate a lot of bread with it and ended up having only a salad afterwards. The warm salad with eel, iberico and asparagus was a lot flavored and tasty.I don't know what kind of eel this was. Very small and thin like boiled young sardines.(シラスみたいだった) Never eaten before though. The service, food and prices were all nice but not really that overwhelming so I rated 4 star ; )

This place was a bit hard to find, but was worth the search. My wife and I got the fixe prix menu for 10.95 euro each. We both got a tuna appetizer and a calamari main dish. For dessert I had a lemon sorbet while my wife got the strawberries and cream. Food was good, ambiance was nice, price was right, we'd definitely come back here again.

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.

Upon arrival, I told the waiter I waiting for my husband and children and wasn't even asking to be seated without them, yet he acted as though I was inconveniencing him, by asking when they would arrive and then sarcastically pointing out that it had been "more than a minute" a few minutes later. (This was walk in, not a reservation we were late for). Once we were seated, he took his sweet time to come our table, and then, when he saw my 6-year-old had a small sandwich from elsewhere, let out an exaggerated sigh, and told us we couldn't stay. We explained that he's a young child and there was nothing on the menu he would eat, but the waiter was dismissive and inflexible, so we left (politely, not wanting a confrontation). I can't know what was in his mind, but as a South Asian family, the hostility and difference in treatment made the experience feel racist. We were polite throughout and were made to feel completely unwelcome.

The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for while visiting Granada. One of the best parts is that every drink comes with a free tapa, which is an amazing value and a great way to try different local dishes. Everything we tasted was excellent. What really made our visit special, though, was the owner, Nacho. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. His hospitality turned a great meal into a memorable experience. We left completely satisfied and would highly recommend Los Diamantes to anyone visiting Granada. Great food, generous portions, wonderful service, and a true local atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

They gave a big plate of a fish tapa as well, kind of like sardines. The price here was really good, it was only $3 for the cool concoction drink and plate of Tapa!

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned…read more At El Tabernaculo you can experience religious remorse and sinful gluttony all at the same time. The walls of this tapas bar in Granada are covered from ceiling to floor in an awesomely gaudy display of photos of Semana Santa (Holy Week in Spain) and religious trinkets. A heavy aroma of incense lingers in the air. Anthony Bourdain describes this bar on an episode of Parts Unknown, "As best as I understand an Easter-Jesus-and-Mary-themed drinking establishment, where between drinks one can ponder the agony of the Christ. But with sausages!" There was only one other couple at the bar during our visit. The couple, locals from Granada, didn't speak much English, but the husband was kind enough to point out a few of the trinkets in the bar and explain their meaning. The bartender didn't appear to speak English either so the only words we exchanged were "tres vinos roja por favor", "gracias", "de nada", and "uno mas por favor". We received the traditional plate of free tapas with each glass of "Jesus juice" that we ordered. I'm not sure exactly what some of the items were on the plate, but everything was delicious and freshly cooked on the griddle behind the bar by the bartender. Our first tapas was a piece of ham that was heated on the griddle and served over bread with mayonnaise. The "open face sandwich" was served with kettle chips. When we ordered a second round of wine we received some sort of delicious, hot and garlicky spread over crusty bread and a side of olives. This tapas bar is a must-see if you are visiting Granada!

Stopped in for a quick glass of wine, while touring the city…read more Everyone boasts about their tapas, but we received extremely salty jamon & dry stale bread, maybe it was the whole 'being a tourist' thing, because while we were hanging out we saw others receive fresh made quail egg sandwiches, or decorative olive plates. sadly our loss as we did not experience their fun welcoming vibe. We were intrigued because the decor was very interesting. You will be drinking with Jesus, plan your conversations accordingly haha

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.

Most of the menu focuses on seafood, but they have limited vegetarian and meat dishes as well. I would actually highly recommend the mushrooms here... you won't regret it!! First time we came was on a busy Saturday night around 8:30. The tables (which resemble long picnic tables) were full, but we saw two spots open at the bar, so we decided to eat there. Note that they only have 2 bar stools and everyone else has to stand at the bar. I got a tinto verano (2.80€) for my drink and my friend went with a cana i.e. a small beer (2.80€). The best thing about Los Diamantes is that you get some complimentary snacks to munch on with your drink order. The first time we came, the first free snack we got was these super delicious and lightly fried fish. Portion size was pretty large too, considering they're free. I also got a half order of navajas, i.e. razor clams, for 13€. I've never had razor clams before but the ones here are bomb. They're grilled with olive oil and plenty of garlic, but the natural flavor and slight crunch of the clams really come through. My friend got a second beer and got the most amazing grilled mushrooms for his free snack. We were honestly both obsessed with these mushrooms. That's why we came again the next day for an early dinner around 5 pm. This time, we specifically ordered a plate of the mushrooms for 12€ as well as the Galician style octopus (15€). The mushroom was again SO GOOD. Would highly recommend everyone get this to have some veggies in between all the seafood. Of course we got some drinks as well, so we got a complimentary snack again. This time it was some fried breaded shrimp.
