La Pajuana — Restaurant in Granada

Without a doubt, this is one of my favourite places in Granada. The food is great, the drinks are well made and everything is more than affordable! More importantly, the service was brilliant. My Dad and I went twice, the first time I ended up talking to the barman/kitchen man (unfortunately, I can't quite remember his name, probably thanks to the Sangria. Although the name Mark comes to mind). We spoke for about 30 minutes towards the end of the night, and he was extremely friendly. We spoke in Spanish. However, anything that I couldn't translate for my Dad, he was more than happy to try. The second visit, we ended up talking to the waiter, Jorge, who has got to be one of the nicest people in Granada! We spoke and were talking for about an hour and a half, getting to know each other very well! Again, anything that I couldn't translate into English, he was more than happy to try. To be clear, whilst he was talking to us essentially the whole time we were at La Pajuana, he was still providing excellent service to the other guests!

My only regret is not taking enough pictures of the food/drink and not having a photo with the staff!

I truly cannot recommend this place enough, the menu is just as amazing as the people! I hope that Jorge and Mark(?) are well, and I hope to see them again soon!

Gracias La...

Edit: THIS PLACE IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD. We went to other tapas bar in the next few days and ended up coming back again because it is impeccable. No other service or food could compare. Other places give you pub styled tapas (standard) whereas the team behind La Pajuana put in so much thought behind each tapas in an almost fine dining manner-explaining each dish. We couldn't commend the team anymore and they were priced better or the same as other tapas bar we went to. You can't pick your tapas but we trusted everything they brought out. We would wholeheartedly recommend everyone to go.

Great experience! We just got to Granada and was famished late at night after 11.30pm, there wasn't as many people in the bar on a weekday so service was prompt and exceptional. The staff were awesome despite my fault for ordering a beer and changing my mind after realising I should probably finish my wine first (my bad), they were kind enough to just forego the beer even though they had opened it. Tapas were great!!! And in particular the Camembert with fried shallots and peppers and apple on toast was delicious. Great team with just above and beyond service. Highly recommend! We had 3 drinks and about 6 tapas coming...

I really fall in love with their foods... It was the most tasty foods I've ever had.... I'm so sorry that I couldn't express more how it was wonderful. Even they have a gorgeous service, and a tapa is super nice as well. I visited several cities in Spain during this holiday and this is what makes me feel Granada is the best. It's unbelievable that food makes me consider a specific city is the best for me 🤣

I enjoyed two main dishes and two tapas, the best one is the meat pastry tapa. Burrito, my second pick, it is also super good for me. I was really surprised cuz who can think to cover it with melted cheese! It was the best Burrito I've ever tried. I aslo tried Carrillada, pork cheek dish, it's also good but relatively decent cuz other dishes are way tooooo good.

For beverages, Sangria's visual was perfect and good to enjoy on the daytime. But it's only fairly good for me cuz I like Sangria with rich flavor. Instead, I highly recommend to try Alhambra caña, which has really good sense of honey and idk why I wasn't able to feel it in another restaurant but here.

They do the bread on the invoice, but it tastes very different. It's served once toasted and with olive oil and some spices so it's...
