Taberna Jóvenes Flamencos

Top choice in Arcos de la Frontera

LoginSave

Along with oh-so-Andalucía flamenco/bullfighting decor, tiled floors and hand-painted tables, cheerful and popular Jóvenes Flamencos has an enticing menu of meat, seafood and vegetarian tapas and raciones, including chunky tortilla, goat's cheese drizzled with local honey and soul-warming onion soup topped with payoyo cheese. All ingredients and wines are from Cádiz province; service is impeccable; and music and dance break out regularly.

The team also runs nearby Aljibe, where Andalucian produce is laced with the influences of Moorish cuisine in the elegantly reimagined aljibe (cistern) of an 18th-century building.
