Arte de Tapas — Restaurant in Antequera

This was one of my top 5 meals I've ever had. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's inviting, spotless and the decor is simple and tranquil.

The proprietor is friendly and super helpful.

And the best part of all, the tapas are absolutely delicious, mind-blowing little plates of perfection. We had the Porra Blanca, an amazing cold garlic soup, and five other vegetarian dishes, since the boy doesn't eat meat, and every single one was perfect. I loved the patatas brava and the spinach croquettes, it was a culinary dream, all of it.

I only wish we were staying another day in Antequera, I would go back and do it all...

This place was recommended by our hosts as a place for real original tapas from Andalusia. They open at 1:00 pm and so they did on the second.. We had much better tapas in Spain True they had a few original variations, but they were not really good, too salty too little too expensive. Five tiny little pieces of chicken, not bigger than your thumb, marinate it in Japanese style, but nothing special. Same with the fried rabbit also five tiny little pieces and not much taste. The tempura of vegetables was good as well...

We were looking for a late lunch and this place looked expensive and fancy. However, it was fantastic and reasonably priced. Very welcoming staff and an interesting mix of traditional local tapas with oriental influences. A good selection of specials; the pork with ginger was amazing. Three tapas each was ideal. Popular with the local business people so had a real authentic feel. Lots of tables inside but we sat overlooking the quiet road....
