A Mar

Jerez de la Frontera


The latest venture from Jerez' hugely popular Albores team, seafood specialist A Mar doubles as chic tapas bar and smart restaurant, with fish-shaped mirrors adorning its modish cream-hued interior. Fish of the day arrives grilled or a la sal (with sea salt), or try shellfish specials and paellas for sharing, accompanied by an excellent list of sherries and other Cádiz wines.
