Sitting in a garden overlooking the little valley in front of Alhambra, with a view of the great Moorish Castle! The location is beautiful and the setting idyllic. The salad here was really excellent and fresh. We've been having a hard time finding salad in Spain as the menus and cuisine is so meat and cheese centric. So, that was probably the highlight of the meal. The sea bass was also very well prepared in a very light sauce with some grilled vegetables. Nothing too oily and a very light entree which was delicious. The lamb was a miss because it was overcooked. A couple of good wines on the list. Overall very good with a great view. read more

I attended a work event with fifteen people. We sat in a private room, and the view was incredible but not as amazing as the service, tapas, and entries. We were in the city for ten days, and we saved the best for our last event. Thank you. read more

Just had a great meal here tonight. They were understaffed but the three people working did an amazing job. The view from our table was absolutely stunning. The food was delicious; jamón wrapped asparagus, huevos rotos, the sea bass, the cochinillo, and the steak. The staff was so nice even though they were so busy and understaffed, they even called us a taxi and personally walked us to the street where they would pick us up; definitely above and beyond. read more

We had a good lunch at this restaurant located in the Albaicin neighborhood across the Alhambra which allowed for some distant but nice views while we ate. We dined inside since we were concerned with the heat but actually they have an outside area with a natural tree/plant pergola which allowed for shade and there was actually a nice breeze. Reservations are a must. We ordered several dishes to share including some jamón, anchovy toasts, the salmorejo, presa Ibérica (underwhelming), morcilla and a few others. The morcilla was definitely the highlight of the meal. Dessert was ok, not much to rave about. Service was a bit frantic at times but overall we had a good experience. read more

We have been exploring Granada which has many good restaurants and much cheaper and at least as good as this one. The ambience is nice with a cute garden patio. The food was good, not great. I was annoyed on top of this as I specifically asked for tap water and the waiter brings water in a branded bottle and insisted it was tap. At the end we got charged for both the tapas they provided which is normally free in Spain and of course Granada but also the water. I would not recommend this place because there are so many equal or better restaurants with nice ambience in this city. read more

Amazing view of the Alhambra - definitely go before sunset. The food was good- definitely get the salad. Would go back again for the ambiance. read more

I loved everything been served to us! And I personally very particular in eating grilled octopus, because most of the didn't really have a good luck in getting the grilled octopus at the right texture and taste. My heart was pounding after I had the first taste of the grilled octopus! I never had such a great texture and flavor of grilled octopus in my entire life! Never ever! Friend told me that most of the Spain restaurant can do the same, and I have tried many in my entire trip, but they were not as good as here! Secondly, the lamb shank, was so soft, tender and juicy, and full of original flavor, didn't get overpowered by any spices like how other places normally will cook in stew. What I can say is, I will definitely go back to this restaurant again if I'm visiting Granada again! read more

A very beautiful place with a great view of the Alhambra. The ride to the restaurant was a (wonderful) journey in itself. Pleasant staff with very little English. The food was alright, but in no way justified by the 4.5 Yelp stars. Yes, the view is awesome, but the food was just more of the same rather flat and heavy Spanish food... read more

4 star for the food but 1 for the services. For a fancy restaurant to attains with a reservation service is -1 . They forgot our order, later on everything and gave a large bill to us which belonged to someone else. When u go to a an expensive place like this with your partner you expect the best. Lamb roast was yummy but the service was so disappointing . read more

Mirador, not so much so really as other options in the neighborhood actually beat the views. What this place has is a cult following BIG TIME and you can expect that it is filled to the rim by 9 pm on a weekend night! Done use Trip Advisor for booking as the restaurant doesn't get the info and you'll be turned away - book direct. read more

The food here is exquisite, arguably closer to five star than four as everyone else seems to agree. The quantity is startling, given my usual expectations for higher-priced dining establishments- there is absolutely no need to order full-sized appetizers, the half-size ones are plenty, I assure you. The bread alone is surprisingly good, accompanied by some cracked olives and a fresh cheese spread with [herbs I think?] things mixed in. For share-around-the-table appetizers, we ordered sheep cheese with piquillo pepper jam, goat cheese with quince jam, some sort of creamy eggplant soup [more of a dip consistency], morcilla, smoked sturgeon, and bull's tail croquettes, all of which were obscenely delicious in ways I urge you to discover yourself. For entrees [we'd had a lot of food already for four] we shared a deceptively simply-named bacon-wraped chicken [with honey-mustard sauce and splendid guacamole] and a dish of pork shoulder [boneless, perfectly cooked] with figs and leeks. Sweets may follow the size rule for the appetizer- the half assortment of desserts named for the restaurant was perfectly normal dessert-sized cheesecakeish things, fig compote with anise, tiramisu and so on [seven things in all]. The lemon sorbet turned out to be an exceptional lemon-mint granita, serve in a champagne flute, the tiny piononos [a Grenadine tradition, per the waiter] were delicious and good if you want something small and the leche frita turned out to be a massive bowl of coffee-flavored creamy custard and two heavy slabs of milk custard that had indeed been deep fried then coated in cinnamon sugar. All in all, we were utterly blown away by the food, even the one of our number who is... shall we say... not adventurous. And yet. I wonder, my whole table wonders, if we went on a bad night. The restaurant was recommended by the owner of our apartment and obviously is highly reviewed by visiting yelpers as well, but there was some yelling in the kitchen tonight and the service... hmm. I acknowledge in advance that it is common to take a leisurely meal in Spain, and the because they are not dependent on tips to make a living, it is not the job of European waitstaff to try to sell diners extra thisses and thatses in the hopes of improving the experience and improving the total from which their tip is calculated. I even appreciate not being rushed from my table the moment I set down my fork. However. We had to ask for sangria twice before it was delivered. Water twice. More sangria only once, but there was a lot of glass-juggling since they'd cleared the water glasses before bringing the pitcher and then... and so on. The asked-for and promised wine menu never came [disappointing, the selection is supposed to be good]. The harried waiter who brought our desserts [not remotely at the same time for everyone] didn't realize until after we'd asked for the check and he was walking -away- that I'd ordered coffee [I barely managed it to begin with, and two of my tablemates didn't get to order coffee at all, every time we ordered the waitstaff tore away from the table as if on fire] and it was conspicuously absent [I'd given up expecting it, and rather wish he hadn't finally brought it, the 'cappuccino' tasted like the dregs from a percolator that they'd dribbled a tiny bit of steamed milk into- I hadn't realized I could get bad espresso in Europe]. We all but had to wave our arms at the waitstaff just to get noticed to ask for things to begin with, and I don't feel that's a good way to do business. The service was, overall, at best a two and a half, and the four-star rating [I strongly considered three] is carried Entirely by the food itself. I also spent a lengthy portion of dinner on the chilly side because they've positioned mist-sprayers in the bushes and the trees [some of which are aimed directly at or directly over diners] and the result is both damp and cold, which makes me grumpy. Despite the service [and the misters], if I had the opportunity, I would go back, at least in part to see if the service is better on other nights and something simply went wrong. The food is some of the best I've had in Spain to date, and the location is unbeatable. read more

I'm a bit surprised to see the only review of this place hitting 1 star. El Mirador de Morayma is fairly well placed for a sunset sight of the Alhambra (though admittedly you'll have to get there a little early to get one of the two "best seats" for it. For an authentic market feel you could well travel down to the Albazin and Teterias there but there is still a reason this place appears on most guide books to Granada. The food, though a little pricey is excellent. The Ensalada Salobre (essentially a mango salad) is one of the nicest dining experiences i've had in Spain. The service was excellent and despite being wildly under dressed for it (i would advise smart casual at the least) the staff didn't turn away the shorts and sandals brigade. No reservation was needed and as is the form with most Spanish restaurants bread and water remains free. As a little treat and coming off season i can see no reason why El Mirador de Morayma wouldn't be an enjoyable part of your holiday. read more

The view while eating our dinner was incredible . The attention was excellent, the waiter was nice enough to take a couple pictures of us (they have enough on their plate ;)) the food was delicious and dessert was rich and so yummy! (get the chocolate cake!) read more

Amazing Andalusian cuisine with a few contemporary twists. Stunning view of the Alhambra across the Rio Darro. For dinner reservations, be sure to ask for a table on the patio overlooking the Alhambra, at least a month or two in advance! The salmorejo (Andalusian tomato soup, served at room temperature) is a must. Ask to see the jerez cellars downstairs. read more

Mirador de Morayma - Debbie on the patio of Morayma overlooking the Alhambra - Spanish Near Me - Granada, GR

This place falls into the category of restaurants in Europe located near popular tourist attractions. It's the closest lookout to the best place to watch a sunset in Granada. It's a tourist trap to be avoided at all costs. Go to the market and buy some bread, cheese, ham, and wine and have a little picnic. The lookout gets crowded in the summer. read more

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel host and it did not disappoint. The service was wonderful. They were especially kind to our year old daughter. The food was so delicious especially the chicken wrapped in bacon. The view of the Alhambra was perfect which made our first night in Granada so special. We would definitely go here again! read more

Great food. Very nice atmosphere and breathtaking view. The monkfish was delicious and pork shoulder was very good. Also, the waiter barely spoke English which brought a nice touch to ambiance, while he knew enough to assist us with choosing and placing the order. It is a good idea to make a reservation. read more

We went to to Mirador because of the reviews online. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful but the food and prices are below average. The service was great but seems like a massive tourist trap. Only one choice for red or white by the glass. read more

fabulous experience! the location, view of Alhambra, service, presentation, food...all perfect! so charming. would easily be a very pricy meal in san Francisco. would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a wonderful, romantic dining experience. read more

Wonderful property with a great view of Alhambra. Our party of 4 shared the tomato appetizer, salmon, asparagus, roasted veggies with goat cheese, the pork, and for dessert the lemon sorbet. Best meal of the trip by far- everything cooked to perfection. Excellent service although I should note we dine early. Definitely recommended and would dine hear again. read more

This was a truly excellent restaurant, with a lovely view of the Alhambra. It's a bit hard to find, even by Albazin alleyway standards, but we had come by taxi after a nighttime visit to Alhambra, and our driver insisted on walking us from the driving road to the restaurant. That turned out to be good, because we had made a reservation at another restaurant thinking it was Mirador! I'm terrible at remembering food, and it was two months ago, but my wife and I recall it as the best food we had in five days in Andalucia. read more
