"We read somewhere that this restaurant had good food. The write up was correct! We arrived earlier than their 1:30 opening. We reserved a table and just walked around a bit. We were advised in what was the specialties of the restaurant. We had the Callos and an off menu item for the day - Grilled Pork Ribs. Both were amazing!
I highly recommend this place for great food with a laid back classy ambience."

"Super nice waitress and good food (we only had a dessert and tapas with the beer). But much more expensive than other places.
In other reviews I saw that also other people think that 4 Euro for a large beer is way too much. The owner replied, that it´s so expensive because the standard of the place is so high and he by example has a beer glass cooler. Sorry Sir, at least your bathrooms are not even on a developing country standard. You have too surprisingly large unisex bathrooms, but none of them has a pissoir. The toilets not even have a seat! So the men are standing there, pee and make the toilet dirty and after that a women has to sit on it? They can clean it with toilet paper but there is nothing to sterilize it.
I learned so far that Spanish bars and restaurants mostly don´t care much about the hygiene and cleanliness of their bathrooms (and it seems Spaniards in general are used to it or don´t care about their personal hygiene too) but this is a super low level. Disgusting! My wife refused to use the bathroom.
In my home country they say: "take a look in a restaurant´s bathroom and you know how the kitchen looks like"."

"A nice get-together spot in central Granada. Although we were told that sharing a table with strangers is not a norm in Andalucia, we were super lucky with two ladies accepting us at their table. So why not give it a try.
Artichokes was great☆"

But leave space for El Bar de Fede, five minutes away on Calle Marqués de Falces.
