Cunini

Making use of the short hop to the Mediterranean, Cunini is a first-rate seafood restaurant that gives hungry patrons the choice of delicious tapas at its bar or a full meal in its restaurant.

Restaurante Arrayanes

Cuisine: Moroccan

Moroccan in both decor and cuisine, Restaurante Arrayanes provides a delicious taste of North Africa with an atmosphere to boot. Suitably close to the alternative scene of Calle Caldereria Nueva, they don't serve alcohol here, but the food is so good that you won't miss it.

Terraza Las Tomasas

Cuisine: Traditional

Serving traditional Granada food with some creative touches, this fine Albaicín restaurant is already one of the best eateries in the area – and that's without mentioning its truly special views of the Alhambra.

Meson el Cordobes

Cuisine: Mediterranean

The effusively friendly proprietor, scrumptious but unpretentious Mediterranean-style food and buzzy ambience help to make Meson el Cordobesone of the best casual dining options in the city. The seafood medley and the exquisitely tender beef fillets are particularly worth sampling.

Mesón El Trillo

El Trillo is a relaxed spot in an old carmen (an old Albaicín house with walled garden) with an outside space that's perfect for dining in warmer weather. Unusually for Granada, it serves food with a Basque twist, including some imaginative vegetarian dishes.

Casa Juanillo

Cuisine: Spanish

Via Colon

Cuisine: Tapas

Stop here if you're in need of a quick fix. Service may not be the friendliest but the tapas will keep you going until the evening. Paella and moussaka are the in-house specialities, but this neat little local's café is best known for its breakfasts: think giant croissants and excellent coffee.
