Bar FM — Restaurant in Granada

Stunning quality seafood and excellent wine list. I really loved the dried and grilled octopus. The fresh seafood was pristine quality. Easily the largest and best cigala I’ve ever had (as it might be due to the price!)

My limited experience in Granada is that most people like to go out to socialize and eat and drink the same quality food and wine throughout the city, but about 95% of these places serve the same food and the same wines…salmorejo, flamenquin, ensaladilla, albondigas. And everything with fried potatoes and peppers. Some Ramon Bilbao by the glass or caña. It’s a reliable formula. Well, for us, that got old.

Bar FM is not that. Bar FM is world class ingredients and execution with a very good wine list at fair prices, and excellent service. Yes, this comes at a price. For us, it’s more than worth it.

There’s always someone saying “you can get better/equal product for cheaper”. Well, please share the names of these mysterious...

I went to this restaurant based on its recommendation by the Michelin guide. I never trust this guide blindly, but they were spot on with this restaurant. I went there twice. This is a very special place, even its location is out of the ordinary, a small shop not in the center, touristy part of Granada but almost out in the suburbs. I had to go there and back by cab.

The restaurant serves only seafood and fish plus a few vegetable dishes as starters / tapas. No meat dishes, not even desserts. The seafood and fish were of the best quality and were cooked simply, steamed, grilled or fried. Patrons were mostly local Spanish people.

The prawns and baby squids from Motril were brilliant. The grilled hake was also delicious. All were grilled and drizzled with olive oil and a bit of pesto. See photos.

Antonio was my waiter for both lunches. His recommendations for both food and wine were excellent. I will go back to this place next time...

I’d love to give this place an additional few stars, to make up for the bad reviews. The food, without hesitation, is absolutely wonderful. High-quality, genuine, fresh, simply but expertly prepared seafood, fish, produce. My husband and I love food, from street food vendors to Michelin stars, around the world, and I find it hard to believe this place would get anything less than 5 stars. I could excuse four stars for the only reason that the bar stools are not super comfortable 😉. Other than that this place is unbelievable…if you consider yourself a foodie, a food lover/enthusiast who cares about genuine quality, a wonderful experience (everyone made our experience the most memorable it could be!), PLEASE don’t be put off by the negative reviews! Don’t hesitate to go! Thank you team Bar FM, we will be back and...
