Must order: The vegan moussaka, or the mezze spread if there are several of you.
Tip: The operator publishes no hours, though the Córdoba directories agree it shuts on Sunday, so phone ahead before building a plan.
Address: Calle Diario de Córdoba 18, 14002 Córdoba
Sojo Ribera runs latest of anywhere in Córdoba, a mixology room and river terrace on the Paseo de la Ribera that holds on until 04:00 at weekends.
Try: Bar snacks
Order: A house cocktail on the terrace before the room turns into a club.
Tip: Closed Sunday to Tuesday, and the summer schedule starts later than the winter one.
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.
Signature: Rabo de toro, Salmorejo, Flamenquín
Order: Rabo de toro, the dish the house has cooked for over a century.
Tip: Ask 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.
Signature: Mazamorra, Rabo de toro, Berenjenas fritas con miel de caña
Order: Mazamorra, the almond-and-bread ancestor of salmorejo.
Tip: The 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.
Signature: Berenjenas con miel de caña, Tortilla de rabo de toro
Order: Berenjenas con miel de caña, then the tortilla de rabo de toro.
Tip: It closes Tuesday and Wednesday, which catches out visitors who assume a Judería taberna opens daily.
Casa Mazal cooks the Sefarad and Al-Andalus traditions inside a fourteenth-century Judería house in Córdoba, with no pork anywhere on the carta.
Signature: Sephardic and Andalusi dishes
Order: Whatever the kitchen is running from the Sephardic side of the carta.
Tip: It closes on Wednesdays, and bookings run through a dedicated reservations line rather than the main house phone.
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.
Signature: Croquetas, Risotto de rabo de toro
Order: The rabo de toro risotto, the kitchen's own crossing of two traditions.
Tip: The kitchen runs straight through from 13:00 to midnight, rare in a city that closes between services.
