Restaurante • Elmuro — Restaurant in Vejer de la Frontera

Great food, specially the Cogollos and the Saam. The rude service by the lone waitress (rest of staff was great) ruined it for us, from the get go it was blatantly clear she was not happy about a party of six including two kids (4 & 2) making remarks about it, but nothing too bad. When we asked if they could make something simpler just for the kids like scrambled eggs she did not even ask the kitchen, just said the kids eat what they are served, we did not want to make an issue out of it and just ordered what we thought they would eat. They ate little, mostly bread and chips from the plates but everything was good and they were behaving super. When one of them started to mildly cry because he would not get dessert if he did not even try what we got for him, the waitress came over and asked us to shush him as it was disturbing other guests... I was flabbergasted because he wasn't wailing and it hadn't been more than 10 seconds of crying, I directly asked the two nearby (only 2) if it was bothering them and they hadn't even noticed but my wife was done with the women, who wants to eat in a place you are not wanted? We cancelled the missing plate, paid and left. A good meal in a good restaurant ruined by someone who's job is supposed to make sure you have a good meal. Would not recommend eating there if a lady with a short sides high top haircut is your waitress, especially if you...

Restaurante El Muro

While exploring the pueblos blancos, I stumbled upon El Muro while looking for a refreshing drink on a quiet corner. Living in Dublin, I couldn’t resist enjoying some sun, and the waiter kindly set me up outside with a drink. To my surprise, I noticed the restaurant had a Michelin recommendation. Having just dined at 3-star Aponiente in Cádiz, I wasn’t planning on visiting another fine restaurant during this trip — but fate had other plans.

As I chatted with the waiter about beef, the region, and our shared roots in Uruguayan agronomy, he offered us a chuletón aged for 46 days. We couldn’t resist — and it turned out to be an incredible choice. The meal was spectacular, the service outstanding, and we enjoyed it outdoors in the sun, sharing the experience with a friendly German couple we met there, which added to the charm.

Everything about El Muro exceeded expectations. A mix of authenticity, quality, and warmth that makes you feel at home. **Highly recommended if you’re in the area. Greetings from your friends...

A Hidden Gem in Vejer – Elmuro is a Must-Visit During our visit to the incredibly beautiful Vejer de la Frontera in July, we had the pleasure of dining at Elmuro, a small and intimate restaurant that completely won us over.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff, who made us feel truly at home. Their passion for the food and wine they serve was clear, and their recommendations were spot-on.

We chose to sit outside, and the setting was just perfect—peaceful, charming, and full of character. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared with fresh ingredients and full of flavour. Our daughter doesn’t eat meat, but she was spoilt for choice with a wonderful range of vegetarian options, each as thoughtfully crafted as the rest of the menu.

Elmuro is the kind of place that stays with you—not just for the food, but for the whole experience. If you're in Vejer, don’t miss...
