    My friend made reservation for this restaurant after touring La Alhambra. When we arrived to the restaurant we noticed a beautiful view of the La Alhambra. It's beauty at night was very captivating especially while dining and this restaurant offers that. We were seated right away at a table by the window. Ambiance: This is a medium size establishment. You get white linen's here (aka fine dinning). Great for any kind of date. Menu & Food: The menu section was okay, My friend and I went with the Prix fix menu: 1) Cava and aperitif - (Champagne) 2) Tuna with Salmorejo - (Tasty) 3) Millie-Leaf Apple and Goat Cheese with Pedro Ximenez Reduction -(Combination of apple and goat cheese was different yet nice, my palette is not used to combination so i didn't consume all) 4) Grilled Iberian Pork - (Tender, flavorful and good) I enjoyed the tuna and the Iberian pork. The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived or when we left. Three different waiters serviced us throughout the night however there was a lack of attentiveness to our table (maybe because we were tourist) but during our meal no one came back to ask if everything was okay or if we were enjoying our meals and my friend was fluent in Spanish. Overall good experience.

    Not sure. But good

    Ill start with the pros. The ambiance in this restaurant is really nice. You walk in feeling like you are going to have a super expensive meal and then you see the menu and the prices are pretty reasonable. It certainly presents as a 5 star restaurant. Additionally, you look out the window and you have a direct view of the Alhambra at night. And it is glorious and everything you think it would be. The menu options are plentiful and very diverse. The food was okay. The presentation was beautiful. The cons... the wait staff wasn't very attentive. It almost felt like because we were tourists, they were annoyed to have to accommodate for the lack of understanding. And we were trying our best. We know the perception of Americans overseas, so we are consistently on our best behavior. There were three servers and not a full house and we had to constantly try to get their attention. The prix fix menu was just okay. The best part of it was the grilled Iberian porn and the dessert assortment. Otherwise, nothing blew us away. We've certainly had better, but would definitely recommend for a "fancy" night out in Granada.

    My best friend and I wanted to eat somewhere that wasn't too much of a tourist trap, therefore, we came here. It was quiet inside, however, we needed the quietness to cool down and just chill. The place is very pricey, however, the best meal that we've had so far in Spain on the high end. Customer service was excellent. The waitress and the cook did speak English, however, they were patient with us in ensuring that we got our Spanish practice in. They were prompt with the service and checked in on us a few times. We had the duck with orange cinnamon sauce and pineapple = amazing. I had a foodgasm. The duck was super tender. The rock salt chunks against the sweetness of the sauce made my mouth dance. Every bite was an experience. Cold vegetable soup was what I had expected, a good refresher starter from the hot day. We had two desserts 'cause we can. We had the coffee infused marscapone cheese dessert = smooth sweet heaven. Marinated pineapple = refreshing. I noticed to make us feel more at home they played 80's instrumentals in the background of classic soft rock. The inside is very nice and clean with a sense of high end without being pretentious.

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.

    Tucked into the winding streets of the Albacin, far from the bustle of the city center, El Trillo…read morewas a lovely find for a calm dinner at sunset. We were seated on the terrace with a beautiful view of the Alhambra. The menu included innovative riffs on classic Andalusian dishes. The Iberian pig cheek was meltingly tender yet rich in taste and the Octopus and boletus risotto beautifully balanced the briny sweetness of the octopus with the earthy tones of the boletus (better known as porcini mushrooms in Italian and English) Service was unhurried but attentive creating a lovely setting for quiet conversation.. Their wine list was thoughtfully curated with a focus on smaller Spanish producers offered more than a few delightful choices. Plan to stay a while to sip a glass of wine, savor the flavors, and bask in the last golden rays of the day!

    From El Trillo Restaurante, you get the prime view of Alhambra. Particularly if you book a dinner…read morereservation, you will enjoy the sunset view of the golden Alhambra. Though a restaurant can't rely on views to thrive. We found the architecture of the restaurant is also very special. A Buddha statue greets you at the front. You can have the garden seating or balcony seatings that get the glimpse of Alhambra. We chose the latter with following dishes: Arroz Pulpo, and Bacalao a La Plancha. The pan seared cod was tender and fresh coupled w/ fried pumpkins and beans. To add the flavor, three thin slices of pork belly (fat) were placed on top of the cod. The octopus risotto and octopus in black rice were something interesting. Personally I think the black rice octopus was taster than the risotto, which was too rich in butter and cream. The sangria was not that impressive, maybe the red was too dry and not enough of fruits. If you do go there, please remember to spread some mosquitoes repellent. Because while you dine, they also have their meals.

The interior decorations are wild. Sensory overload. Get you Catholic on. The seating is terrible.
