An elegant, sprawling designer space beneath brick arches, the on-site trestaurant at renowned Bodegas Osborne is styled like a 'cathedral bodega'. Fresh, local produce is the key to the refined tapas and raciones here: top-tier Cinco Jotas jamón from Huelva, Cádiz cheeses served with Grazalema honey, arroz meloso (creamy rice) with Atlantic prawns.
