I came here due to a yelp recommendation because like most westerners unaccustomed to the Spanish way of living I was hungry at about 7 pm and needed something to eat. Yay yelp to the rescue. The place was crowded and there were no seats available when I arrived. There were many small groups congregated around tables and a few couples as well. It isn't obvious how to proceed once you come in the door so I probably stood there awkwardly for a few minutes near the door before making my way to the bar to what looked to be a vacant seat. A gentleman informed me that it belonged to his girlfriend so I was forced to now stand awkwardly next to the bar. Bar tender to the rescue explaining that if I waited he was pretty sure someone would leave soon and I could order a drink while I waited. I ordered a sangria and also inquired about food but was told that I need to have an actual seat in order to order food. After nursing my drink for about 20 mins when I was about to pay and head out to find somewhere else to eat, a spot finally opened up and I was treated to the most delicious steak and potatoes and zucchini tapas. This had to be one of the most delicious things I have eaten on this vacation. When I finally vacated my seat to save a pair of new arrivals, there was a line outside of people waiting for the opportunity to eat here. I might chance it again before I leave Seville. I highly recommend for the food and friendly waiters but wish there was a way to turn seats over more quickly. One guy kept insisting he was saving his girlfriend's seat but in the 90 mins I spent there she never showed up. Who knows if she ever existed. Bread comes free with your tapas order and really complimented the meal.

Review of El Refugio in Benaocaz I dined at El Refugio on…read moreMonday August 29,2016 while visiting family in Cadiz. It's a rustic looking restaurant located in Plaza San Anton in the town of Benaocaz, Province of Cadiz, Spain. Benaocaz is up in the mountains in what is known as Sierra of Grazalema or Sierra de Cadiz. The restaurant also occupies the space around the plaza. Their specialty is charbroiled meats and Iberian Pork and all meats are charbroiled in wood stoves/ovens. We were welcomed by Santiago (Santi) who immediately gave an excellent explanation of the menu, methods of cooking, different types of meat cuts and even wines! We dined four different cuts of Bellota fed Iberian Pork from Valle de Pedroches which is best known for raising the Bellota fed Iberian Pork. Santi is very knowledgeable about what he offers at his restaurant, from each one of the Spanish wines and regions he offers to his customers; to the quality of the meat, vegetables and local grocers/farmers in the local area and Spain. This was a real "Farm to table" experience. We dined different cuts of Iberico Pork cuts: "Lagarto", "Secreto Iberico", "Churrasco Iberico" and "presa Iberica" a complained by home made and hand cut it potatoes and freshly made vegetables. Nerveless to say, these were all different cuts and were cooked beautifully, tastefully and to perfection by Veronica, head chef and wife! Desserts are homemade- we had locally made Payoyo cheese with freshly made mermelades. Santiago emphasized all their desserts are made at the restaurant and the cheeses are from local farmers. El Refugio is a small family owned restaurant, a dining gem up in the mountains ( Sierra Andaluza) that is worth a trip and a visit. It has beautiful views of the Sierra/mountains. I give his place a five!

Albacara was one of the highlights of our visit to Ronda. The restaurant is beautifully situated at…read moreHotel Montelirio, with an extraordinary view overlooking the Tajo gorge and the iconic Puente Nuevo. The setting alone is spectacular, particularly if you are fortunate enough to dine on the terrace, but what makes Albacara truly special is that the food and service live up to the location. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. The staff was professional, attentive, friendly, and welcoming without ever being intrusive. There was a genuine sense of hospitality throughout the meal, and the attention to detail made the entire experience feel special. The food was equally good. The dishes were beautifully presented, well prepared, and full of flavor. The menu offers a nice balance of traditional Andalusian influences and more contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, with quality ingredients and careful preparation. Everything we had was enjoyable, and the meal felt like a true dining experience rather than simply having lunch or dinner at a restaurant. warning ‼: Do not try the bread. You won't be able to stop eating it. And then there is the view. It is difficult to overstate how beautiful the setting is. Sitting above the Tajo gorge with the Puente Nuevo directly in view, surrounded by the dramatic Andalusian landscape, creates an atmosphere that is almost impossible to duplicate. We were told that if you can time your visit around sunset, the experience becomes even more spectacular as the light changes over the mountains and the bridge. What impressed us most was that Albacara is not simply a restaurant that relies on its incredible location. The food, service, atmosphere, and setting all come together to create a memorable experience. For anyone visiting Ronda, I would highly recommend making a reservation at Albacara and requesting a table with a view, especially on the terrace. It is the kind of place where you want to slow down, enjoy the meal, have a glass of wine, and simply take in the scenery. Albacara is definitely worth visiting.

The tomato salad was also delicious and I loved the tuna in it - the only non-perfect part of the meal was that there was a sticker on one of the tomatoes - ha! (And also they forgot one of our dishes and it came out at the very end after we had to remind them but no biggie). The service was also very nice - I was trying to practice my spanish and our server was very patient and kind. Loved this restaurant so much!
