The entire waitstaff was amazing, super courteous and kind. My husband and I had a reservation at the sister restaurant next door but opted for the casual tapas bar instead. A kind waitress started us off by canceling the reservation and jumped right in to start us off w delicious local wines by the glass. Juan, our server was super helpful in recommendations. Not to mention he speaks perfect Italian and English on top of his native tongue Spanish. Everything was delicious! We are not big eaters, but love good food. My husbands a bit of a foodie. We ordered the anchovies toast, fried eggplant cubes w drizzled honey, ham croquets, veal meatballs and artichoke flowers. We splurged on the Carmel custard for dessert. The local wine selection was really nice as well. This place was full of Spanish patrons, so we knew it was going to be a great local find!

Read moreExcellent food, definitely our favorite from the visit to Córdoba. Everything was cooked to perfection, from the meats to the produce; and many of their typical cordobese dishes were exemplary. The salmorejo was strong and flavorful yet incredibly silky, the berenjenas flew off the table (we had four raciones), and the meat cuts (with special mention to the pluma) were excellent and melted in the mouth.

And the cheesecake was the stuff dreams are made of - flavorful, perfectly sweet, and incredibly creamy. So much so I asked for an extra portion to go. On top of that, the service was stellar, both friendly yet flawlessly professional. Really a place where Cordoba's cuisine shines...
Read moreWe stopped in for lunch after visiting the Alcazar. It was 2pm on a Thursday and everywhere was busy, including this place, but we decided to wait and I’m glad we did! We were seated upstairs by one of the balconies which was beautiful. We ordered an assortment of tapas; the eggplant, salmorejo, croquettes, patatas bravas, squid, tomato salad, and fried cod. All were very good! My fiancé especially loved the fried cod, he said it was the best he’s ever had! We felt a bit rushed by our servers as they kept trying to take our menu away even when we explained that we’d be ordering multiple things, one or two plates at a time. But they were very kind and most spoke very good English. We would recommend eating here while in Cordoba (they also have a “restaurant” on the...
