"Great menue on offer with all typical local food. First course very generous portion, second course slightly on the smaller size. Beet gazpacho and chickpea-chicken stew are a must try. Lovely music and kind welcoming service. All in all - great experience. 🇪🇸🍷🥰"

"Very cozy family style place, staff are welcoming. Dishes are prepared with heart. Though the staff there are not good at English, we managed to communicate and it was a lot of fun:-) we were there twice and liked all dishes we tried . e.g. Chickpea stew with prawn , pork tenderloin with mustard sauce, and their desserts - flan , lemon mousse."

Student life Universidad de C�diz | Spain
The center is full of small tapas-bars (best: Veedor, Gotinga, Garbanzo Negro,...) For night life bars in the citycenter are recomended ( Nahoo, UMEC ) After 3am all people go to "la punta" as a center of going out and dancing!. For taking a coffee or having a short break I can recomend "plaza de la cadetral" and it's cafes. For the a quick meal you can go to "el refugio" en la calle benyumeda - there you find the best bocadillos of town.

El Garbanzo Negro (Sacramento, 18): Due to the restaurant’s small size and delicious food, reservation is essential here. One of the best places to sample chickpeas with prawns or their creative gazpachos.
