Restaurants in Cádiz

  1. A

    Freiduría Las Flores

    Cádiz specialises in fried fish and seafood, and Las Flores, a kind of self-respecting fish and chippery, is one of the best places to sample it. To try a combination, have a surtido (mixed fry-up).

  2. Arrocería La Pepa

    To get a decent paella you have to leave the old town behind and head for a few kilometres southeast along Playa de la Victoria – a pleasant, appetite-inducing ocean-side walk along a popular jogging route or a quick ride on the No 1 bus. Either method is worth it. The fish in La Pepa’s seafood paella tastes as if it’s just jumped the 100 or so metres from the Atlantic onto your plate.

    Casa Manteca

    Set on the corner that is the hub of La Viña's carnival fun, and with almost every inch of wall covered in flamenco, bullfighting and carnival memorabilia, Casa Manteca is inevitably one of the barrio's liveliest bars. Ask the amiable bar staff for a tapa of chicharrones - pressed pork with a squeeze of lemon, served on a paper napkin and amazingly delicious.

    El Aljibe

    Gaditano chef Pablo Grosso concocts delicious combinations of the traditional and the adventurous. Try the pheasant breast stuffed with dates and the solomillo ibérico (Iberian pork sirloin) with Emmental cheese, ham and piquant peppers. You can enjoy his creations as tapas in the stone-walled downstairs bar.

    El Fogón de Mariana

    Part of the small Montanera group (there’s another one in San Fernando), this two-floored non-smoking restaurant specialises in Iberian meats but doesn’t miss the ball in other areas either. Its combination of creative food and friendly but efficient service could put it among the best in Cádiz.

    Mesón Cumbres Mayores

    The wood-beamed Cumbres Mayores has an excellent tapas bar in the front and a small restaurant in the back. It's hard to beat the ham and cheese montaditos. In the restaurant, there are great salads, seafood, barbecued meats and guisos (stews).

    Cafetería Las Nieves

    Near Plaza San Juan de Dios, this friendly cafe with decor of brick, tile and prints guarantees a good simple breakfast. Take your toast with mermalada or – as the Spanish do – olive oil and tomatoes, and wash it down with a coffee or hot chocolate.

    Bar Zapata

    The crowd often spills out the door at this highly popular tapas joint. The scrumptious montaditos (open sandwiches) and revueltos (scrambled-egg dishes) are a speciality, and the jazz-rock-blues soundtrack adds to the atmosphere.

    La Cigüeña

    A few steps off Plaza San Juan de Dios, the friendly and relaxed 'Stork' has a Dutch chef who prepares adventurous and delicious food, and friendly and relaxed service.

    La Gorda Te Da De Comer

    Incredibly tasty food at low prices amid trendy pop design. Try the solomillo in creamy mushroom sauce or the curried chicken strips with Marie-Rose dip.
