Bodegas Campos has poured in Córdoba since 1908, a warren of patios and barrel-signed rooms off Calle Lineros serving rabo de toro and salmorejo.
OrderRabo de toro, the dish the house has cooked for over a century.
TipAsk to walk through the barrel rooms before you sit; the signed butts are a century of visiting names.
Casa Pepe de la Judería has fed Córdoba since 1928, a taberna downstairs and a roof terrace upstairs that looks straight at the Mezquita tower.
OrderMazamorra, the almond-and-bread ancestor of salmorejo.
TipThe roof terrace is the reason to come, so ask for it when you book rather than taking a ground-floor table.
Casa Rubio sits against the Puerta de Almodóvar gate in Córdoba, a 1920 taberna renamed in 1932 and now three floors deep with a wall-view terrace.
OrderBerenjenas con miel de caña, then the tortilla de rabo de toro.
TipIt closes Tuesday and Wednesday, which catches out visitors who assume a Judería taberna opens daily.
La Taberna del Río works a corner off Córdoba's Paseo de la Ribera, rotating art on the walls and a summer roof terrace above the Guadalquivir.
OrderThe rabo de toro risotto, the kitchen's own crossing of two traditions.
TipThe kitchen runs straight through from 13:00 to midnight, rare in a city that closes between services.
Astoria Casa Matías cooks spoon stews, dehesa meat and seasonal vegetables in Córdoba, well away from the Mezquita crowds on Calle el Nogal.
OrderWhichever guiso de cuchara is on; the stews are the reason locals drive here.
TipOnly Wednesday to Saturday runs past 18:30, so plan a dinner here midweek at your peril.

OrderThe churrasco cordobés, grilled pork loin with the house red and green sauces.
TipThe house occupies a fourteenth-century Judería building; ask for a table around the patio rather than the front rooms.
El Caballo Rojo cooks the Mozarabic register of Córdoba a few steps from the Mezquita, a tapas bar below and dining rooms above on Cardenal Herrero.
OrderWhatever leans Mozarabic on the day's carta; this kitchen built its name on that revival.
TipIt is steps from the Patio de los Naranjos, so book ahead for lunch; the bar takes walk-ins that the dining rooms cannot.
Casa Palacio Bandolero fills a sixteenth-century palace facing the Mezquita, cooking white gazpacho, salmorejo and artichokes in Moriles wine.
OrderAlcachofas al Moriles, artichokes braised in the local wine.
TipThe two patios are the reason to come; on a summer night ask for the terrace beside the Mezquita entrance rather than an interior salon.

OrderThe pisto, the vegetable stew that Córdoba's tabernas use to measure each other.
TipSunday is lunch only and Saturday dinner starts at 20:30, an hour later than on weekdays, so check the clock before you set out.

OrderBerenjenas fritas first, then the rabo de toro.
TipIt sits in the patios district of San Basilio, so pair lunch here with the whitewashed courtyard streets rather than the Mezquita crowds.
El Rincón de Carmen slow-cooks old-style rabo de toro and fries homemade ham croquettes around a Córdoban patio on Calle Romero in the Judería.
OrderRabo de toro a la antigua, the kitchen's stated signature.
TipThe patio seats fewer than the two dining rooms combined, so name it when you book; the house sources from the Sierra de Córdoba.
Taberna Salinas has run off Córdoba's Corredera since 1924, an azulejo bar backed by wine casks and a patio full of plants and old paintings.
OrderThe salmorejo, the version most cordobeses measure the others against.
TipIt shuts on Sunday and does no dinner on Saturday, which trips up weekend visitors constantly.

OrderPisto casero con huevo, the plate that gave the taberna its nickname.
TipThe operator lists lunchtime hours only, so treat this as a midday stop rather than a dinner plan.

OrderRabo de toro, then boquerones, both at taberna prices.

OrderFino en rama, poured cold, with whatever is on the tapa board.
TipThe kitchen stops at 23:00 and the place shuts Mondays, so it is an early-evening rather than late stop.

OrderAn amontillado with a plate of whatever the bar is frying.
TipThe midday service runs Wednesday to Sunday and the only dinner sittings are Friday and Saturday, so plan an evening visit for the weekend.

OrderRabo de toro, cooked down until the meat leaves the bone on its own.

Noor is Paco Morales's three-star kitchen in Córdoba, rebuilding the food of the caliphate from Andalusi manuscripts in a plain eastern shopfront.

TipNoor works in seasons and closes between them, so check the calendar before you book flights around a table here.

OrderThe MeMoria tasting menu at €108, adding the Armonías Memento pairing for the full experience.

OrderThe artichokes with jamón, then whatever stew is running that week.
TipThirty seats and two brothers running the room, so book rather than walking up on a Friday night.

OrderThe rabo de toro risotto, ordered late with a glass of red.
TipIt runs straight through from 13:00, so it also covers the dead hours other kitchens miss.
Taberna La Montillana has stood beside San Miguel in Córdoba since 1948 and makes almost no concessions to the tourist trade a few streets south.

Taberna Coto has worked Córdoba since 1972 and moved recently to Plaza de San Miguel, in the shadow of a more famous neighbour and publishing no hours.

OrderRabo de toro, then boquerones, both at taberna prices.

OrderAlbóndigas de la abuela, then the rabo de toro flamenquín.
