With celebrated Catalan chef Benito Gómez installed in the kitchen, Tragatá offers a stylish, high-end dining experience. Clients rave about the bold and innovative tapas, such as fried pig ears served in a spicy sauce and salmon marinaded in lime and vanilla with a yoghurt and salmon roe sauce. The main menu is just as exciting, with international dishes such as Thai sea bass and beef fakaki available as well as traditional Spanish classics.

Look out for salmorejo, a thicker version of gazpacho and you can find blackberry or beetroot gazpachos at some of the more inventive restaurants like De Locos Tapas, Tragata or El Muelle de Arriate. Delicious, hearty stews made from tender ox cheek or wild rabbit and garlic can be found in many of the traditional establishments, tapas and the more generously proportioned raciones abound but if you are looking for lighter, more contemporary dishes head to one of the eateries where fusion food makes its mark on the menu. Globally inspired tapas or traditional Andalucian fare can be enjoyed according to your mood.

Tragata has been one of the top establishments in Ronda for a considerable amount of time. This is not surprising considering that the person in charge, Benito Gomez, who is also the owner and chef of the recently Michelin-starred restaurant Bardal, gained experience at renowned places such as La Alqueria at Hacienda Benazuza under Ferran Adria, as well as in the kitchens of Jean Luc Figueras and Dani Garcia. As for the cuisine, it combines influences from Asia and Andalucia.

Benito Gómez helped put Ronda on the culinary map with the two Michelin stars he won for his Bardal restaurant, but it was at Tragatá where he got his start in town. Tragatá offers the chance to try the innovative creations of Gómez in a casual environment through tapas and shared plates. You’ll find local essentials and novel combinations here, all reflecting the seasonal ingredients that are so important in Ronda.

The second restaurant by the celebrated chef Benito Gomez on our list is the equally excellent Tragata. This high-end, stylish Ronda dining experience has people raving about its innovative tapas and modern take on Andalucía cuisine. Once seated, diners can look forward to indulging in lime vanilla marinated salmon, fried porky ear with spicy sauce, and Stewed Iberian cheek with chestnuts.

When it comes to dining, Ronda boasts a plethora of restaurants serving up delectable regional cuisine. In addition to Restaurante Tragatá, there are several other noteworthy establishments worth exploring. Casa María, located in the heart of the old town, offers a cozy ambiance and a menu brimming with traditional Andalusian dishes made with locally sourced ingredients.

Calle Nueva, 4, 29400 Ronda (From the Plaza de Toros walk down towards the Puente Nuevo and Calle Nueve is on the left just before the bridge opposite the Parador) +34 952 87 72 09. http://tragata.comhttps://www.facebook.com/tragata.ronda/. With an Asian/Spanish fusion the tapas at Tragata are unforgettable and delicious, one of my favorite places to snack in Ronda!

If you’re in the mood for a modern spin on Andalusian cuisine, look no further than Tragata, a trendy restaurant by renowned chef Benito Gómez. It’s a spot that artfully combines tradition with innovation, bringing together local ingredients and bold flavors. The menu is a creative take on tapas, and every dish here is designed to surprise and delight.

Chic sister-bar to Bardal (previously Tragabuches), Tragatá has also undergone a name change (from Traga Tapas), but the hip-fusion eclectic menu remains. The space is pleasantly minimalist, with a terrace out on the pedestrian street. Wasn’t able to get a shot of the new entrance as we had arrived early and the terrace still wasn’t set up.

Tragata’s been one of Ronda’s top restaurants since it opened what seems like yonks ago. It’s hardly surprising given that owner/chef Benito Gomez (the man behind Michelin-starred restaurant, Bardal – see above) cut his teeth in Ferran Adria’s La Alqueria at Hacienda Benazuza, as well as the kitchens of Jean Luc Figueras and Dani Garcia.

The same chef haas a less expensive restaurant, Tragata, that is also open for Easter lunch; here is the menu; prices are reasonable and they offer a range of steaks which are probably very good. If I were in your place, I'd probably go there and be sure to book well inn advance of arriving in Spain. They are taking bookings now.

Bardal’s little sister, Tragatá is chef Benito Gomez’s less formal but equally delicious treat for the senses. A taster of his 2 Michelin Star Restaurant Bardal, Tragatá is located in a side street a stone’s throw from the famous Bridge. Buzzing with atmosphere and we always feel just a little bit smug when we snag a table here!

Tragatá es el otro restaurante del chef Benito Gómez en Ronda. Con una trayectoria de diez años en este establecimiento, el chef catalán de raíces malagueñas ha desarrollado una línea propia que prioriza el sabor del producto por encima de todo. En este lugar se defiende el producto local y la despensa andaluza.

Here, you’ll find Tragata, a modern, stylish eatery that is popular with both locals and tourists. Known for its contemporary spin on traditional Spanish dishes, Tragata serves up a myriad of tapas options that blend local flavors with global influences.

Now firmly settled in Ronda with a local wife and a second diffusion restaurant, Tragata, near the Parador, a little bird tells me he will move to a new, greenfield location in the new year, a place that ‘will completely blow your mind’.

A fantastic tapas bar just off the Plaza de España in Ronda, close to the bridge. Good atmosphere and pleasant service. Exceptional food and flavour sensations, your taste buds will be excited with the eclectic tapas and dishes on offer.

Chef Benito Gomez, who is originally from Barcelona, previously worked in La Alqueria, in Hotel Hacienda Benazuza (now closed) in Sanlucar la Mayor (Seville), and before opening Bardal he had another restaurant nearby in Ronda, Tragata.

Located opposite Bardal, on the new street, it offers creative, different tapas, with that innovative touch that influences both aesthetics and prices. It is a perfect place to treat yourself to gastronomy in Ronda.

It features a terrace and an actual assembly line, with several slate boards informing the guests about offers and menus. Elaborated with traditional but updated ingredients.

Restaurante Tropicana is excellent, Tragata offers exquisite tapas, and for a very special night go to Restaurante Bardal which boasts not 1 but 2 Michelin stars

As much as Lechuguita is the go-to for a cheap, hearty meal, Tragata is the opposite. Opulent, lavish dishes to sate the fine dining desires of our readers.
