More restaurants in Córdoba

El Rincón de Carmen ★ 4.3

€€ AndalusianJuderia

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 ★ 4.6

€€ AndalusianCorredera

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.

Taberna San Miguel Casa El Pisto ★ 4.5

€€ AndalusianCentro

Casa El Pisto has stood on Plaza de San Miguel in Córdoba since 1880, a bullfighting taberna where the pisto with a fried egg is the house test.

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.

Sociedad de Plateros San Francisco ★ 4.4

€€ AndalusianRibera

The Plateros silversmiths' guild still runs this Córdoba taberna on Calle San Francisco, thick white walls set around a patio under a skylight.

OrderA copa of the house Oro Viejo with whatever tapa the bar suggests.

TipThe staff swap every round plate on the table for a square one when a coeliac sits down.

La Taberna de Almodóvar ★ 4.2

€€ AndalusianCentro

La Taberna de Almodóvar pours fino en rama over a wooden bar in central Córdoba, with salmorejo and flamenquín run as the everyday counter order.

OrderSalmorejo first, then the flamenquín, in that order and no other.

TipSunday is lunch only, and the kitchen shuts firmly at 16:30 before the evening service.

Taberna La Montillana ★ 4.4

€€ AndalusianCentro

Taberna La Montillana has traded on Calle San Álvaro in Córdoba since 1948, bull heads on the walls and Montilla-Moriles wines behind the bar.

OrderMazamorra, the almond purée that predates salmorejo in this city.

TipThe kitchen rotates a recommendation board, so read it before ordering off the printed carta.
