Terrace Restaurant
This casual beachfront restaurant at the Hurricane Hotel is good for an economical lunch (various salads, hamburgers, chicken, local fish, steaks).

The best of both worlds on the Alameda, Bamboo does great breakfasts plus shakes and smoothies in the morning, and hosts cocktails, music and DJs at night. Decor is Tarifa eclectic (sofas and pouffes) and clientele is surfer cool.

Mandrágora
Behind Iglesia de San Mateo, this intimate place serves Andalucian-Arabic food and does so terrifically well. It’s hard to know where to start, but the options for mains include lamb with plums and almonds, prawns with ñora (Andalucian sweet pepper) sauce, and monkfish in a wild mushroom and sea urchin sauce.
Sitting as it does just away from the main eating hub of Tarifa, it attracts a quieter and generally more discerning crowd.

L
Bar-Restaurante Morilla
One of numerous places lying in wait along Calle Sancho IV El Bravo in the heart of the old town, Morilla attracts more locals than other places. They come here for the high-quality tapas and lamb dishes, and an outstanding cazuela de pescados y mariscos (fish-and-seafood stew). Witty waiters scurry between the tables.
