Restaurante Reina Mónica — Restaurant in Granada

Decent yet touristic bar in the upper side of Granada - Sacromonte.

The array of dishes of their buffet was inviting, and the 10 euros eat all you can was a great temptation, but we already had our dinner so - given the inclement weather - we stopped for a drink that was served with two tapas as per the local tradition. Food wasn't that bad, but nothing you would loose your mind too. A bit tasteless in some cases. To be 100% sure we ordered a medium portion of deep fried seafood. Cooked expressly for us, the portion was really generous, but clearly from frozen fish.

Really affordable prices in the end.

General cleanliness was OK in the main area, but toilets were not at their best considering there were just a group of students that haven't been there by the time I used the toilet. No soap...

A true gem in the heart of the Albaicín neighborhood. There is no doubt that Granada is a magical city. Eating the food of Reina Monica magically transported me to the streets of Tangier. Coqui and Abdul were super nice, they shared their stories. We felt so welcomed! We ate Albondigas (my son loved it so much he was wiping the plate with the potatoes) and berenjenas as well as the chicken skewers. The chupitos at the end with Lemoncelo was the cherry on the top. We missed the sopa de chocolate, as they ran out of it. I will definitely come back to try other recipes. It may be difficult to locate it, I hope everyone can find their way there, the food is so special, nothing you can find...

Preface: I'm from the US and moved to Spain. That being said, after reading other reviews, I can't help but think that people have gone here at the wrong time. Since this is an "all you can eat" bar, it's important you go when it's lunch on Spanish time, so around 2pm. Go too early and there won't be much out. Go too late and it won't be as fresh. Also, let's be real...it's a buffet. If you go expecting perfection the fault is on you. For what it is and for the price, it's a good deal! The tapas are pretty good and, if you're hungry, it's well worth the money to get a wide selection of tapas. The walk to it from the viewpoints is also amazing. Quite...
