Bar Moriles — Restaurant in Córdoba

I had been referred to this bar a year ago to try the Montilla-Moriles they serve. This year I stopped in for their Menú del Dia at 13:30, and the place got packed on a Tuesday and it took 2 hours before I was served my postre and paid. So it’s very popular, but understaffed, so you can’t be in a hurry. I had the Salmorejo con jamón, which had less tomato than every other version I have tasted, but with a clearly peppery undernote as this version leans more on the bread and oil. The Alcachofas salteadas con jamón did not really seem grilled, but they were good and served with a dressing of sautéed onions. I was excited to try the Tocino de Cielo, because I have never noticed it on a menu before. It tasted as you might expect as being made from egg yolk, water and sugar… rich, but not really heavy, and the caramel was very good. Recommended, but get there early and don’t expect it to be...

I can comfortably say this has been my best meal experience in Spain in every single aspect. The food was absolutely exceptional and the service was attentive, despite it being extremely busy. I am a tourist with fairly basic Spanish speaking skills and the wait staff were friendly and accommodating, even helping with recommendations from the menu. This is something that I have found extremely uncommon through my travels in Spain as a non-native tourist.

The flavours in the food were exceptional and I've dined at quite a few more expensive restaurants. To top it all off, the prices were very reasonable. I think a lot of restaurants in Spain can learn from this place, it has without a doubt been my favourite dining experience in Spain...

The restaurant stretches from the corner of the street to midway through the park opposite - don't be deterred if at first you don't find the entrance!

We had such a lovely dinner here! The barman was friendly when we went inside to order drinks upon arrival. We then asked if we could sit outside for dinner and he said yes, he'll bring us menus.

We had a massive dinner of vegetarian tapas, with water, white wine and beer. We also received complimentary bread, olives, cheese and ham.

This is definitely a local hangout!! We only had spaniards around us! And even the staff had very limited English. There is an English menu but it's more a sign of friendliness than being commercial.

Very affordable, delicious,...
