Ronda Restaurants

  1. Bar Restaurant Almocábar

    In the Barrio San Francisco, Almocábar is an excellent authentic tapas bar, little touched by the tourist hordes at the top of town. In the evening you'll be hard pressed to get into the tapas bar, so delicious are its tapas. At least you can reserve for the restaurant section.

  2. Casa María

    Although it doesn't draw the crowds in quite the same way as the nearby Almocábar, Casa María is still worth the trip to the Barrio de San Francisco. The fresh seafood is great value and when things get going there is a wonderfully unpretentious atmosphere. The owner-chef has an impressive wine stash and orders good cuts of meat from around the country.

  3. Casa Mateo

    Recognise this new, slick place, near Iglesia de Merced, by its Arabic-style brickwork. It has good meat and fish raciones and interesting salads using local products.

  4. Casa Santa Pola

    This is an atmospheric restaurant spread over three floors of an old aristocratic house. At night each of the small dining rooms is intimate and candlelit and during the day there are good views over the Tajo. The roast lamb cutlets or the roast pork are a must.

    Popular for its pizzas, good prices, and its position on Plaza del Soccorro, the food here is a little perfunctory but perfectly adequate. A dinner of pizza and salad will keep you happy for hours.

  10. Tréz

    Previously called Relax, this place is now run by a young Dutch couple who are continuing with many of the vegetarian dishes and the general café theme of the place whilst putting their own stamp on it. Whilst there are a couple of meat and fish options, vegetarians will find favourites like spinach and feta pies, mushroom pies, and vegetarian lasagne.
