20 restaurants in Córdoba, editor-picked for restaurants open monday. Open on monday, the day most kitchens go dark. All restaurants in Córdoba.
Taberna Salinas ★ 4.6
corredera · Calle Tundidores 3, 14002 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Fri 12:30-16:00, 20:00-23:30; Sat 12:30-16:00; Sun closed
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.
Tip: It shuts on Sunday and does no dinner on Saturday, which trips up weekend visitors constantly.
Bodegas Campos ★ 4.5
ribera · Calle Lineros 32, 14002 Córdoba
Hours: Daily 13:30-16:00, 20:00-23:00
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.
Tip: Ask to walk through the barrel rooms before you sit; the signed butts are a century of visiting names.
El Churrasco ★ 4.5
juderia · Calle Romero 16, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Daily 13:00-16:00, 20:00-23:30 (evenings from 20:30 in summer)
El Churrasco has grilled Iberian pork over oak charcoal on Calle Romero since 1970, its churrasco cordobés arriving with red and green Arab sauces.
Tip: The house occupies a fourteenth-century Judería building; ask for a table around the patio rather than the front rooms.
Taberna San Miguel Casa El Pisto ★ 4.5
centro · Plaza de San Miguel 1, 14002 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Sat 12:00-16:00; Sun closed
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.
Tip: The operator lists lunchtime hours only, so treat this as a midday stop rather than a dinner plan.
Casa Pepe de la Judería ★ 4.4
juderia · Calle Romero 1, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Sun-Thu 13:00-16:00, 20:00-23:00; Fri-Sat 13:00-16:00, 20:00-00:00
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.
Tip: The roof terrace is the reason to come, so ask for it when you book rather than taking a ground-floor table.
El Envero ★ 4.4
Calle Teruel 21, 14012 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Sat 12:00-23:00; Sun 09:00-23:00
El Envero cooks contemporary seasonal food out on Calle Teruel with a wine list renewed as often as the menu, a locals' room away from the Judería.
Tip: It sits in a residential quarter north of the centre, so pair it with an evening walk along the Vial Norte rather than the monument circuit.
Taberna La Montillana ★ 4.4
centro · Calle San Álvaro 5, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Thu 13:00-18:00, 20:00 until close; Fri-Sun 13:00 until close
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.
Tip: The kitchen rotates a recommendation board, so read it before ordering off the printed carta.
Taberna Góngora ★ 4.4
centro · Calle Conde de Torres Cabrera 4, 14001 Córdoba
Hours: Mon 13:00-16:00, 20:00-23:30; Wed-Sat 13:00-16:00, 20:00-23:30; Tue and Sun closed
Taberna Góngora is the family taberna on Conde de Torres Cabrera in Córdoba, adapting most of its carta for coeliacs on a separate chickpea-flour fryer.
Tip: It closes Tuesday and Sunday, an awkward pair that catches out anyone planning a long weekend.
Astoria Casa Matías ★ 4.3
poniente · Calle el Nogal 16, 14006 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Tue 13:30-18:30; Wed-Sat 13:30-01:00; Sun 13:30-18:30
Astoria Casa Matías cooks spoon stews, dehesa meat and seasonal vegetables in Córdoba, well away from the Mezquita crowds on Calle el Nogal.
Tip: Only Wednesday to Saturday runs past 18:30, so plan a dinner here midweek at your peril.
El Rincón de Carmen ★ 4.3
juderia · Calle Romero 4, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Wed-Mon 12:30-16:00, 19:30-23:00; closed Tue
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.
Tip: The patio seats fewer than the two dining rooms combined, so name it when you book; the house sources from the Sierra de Córdoba.
Taberna La Viuda ★ 4.3
san-basilio · Calle San Basilio 52, 14004 Córdoba
Hours: Daily 13:00-16:30, 20:00-23:30
Taberna La Viuda works the San Basilio side of Córdoba with more than thirty plates, cheese-stuffed flamenquín among them, and citrus-cured tuna.
Tip: San Basilio wins most of the patio prizes in May, so book here well ahead during the festival.
Casa Rubio ★ 4.2
juderia · Calle Puerta de Almodóvar 5, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Mon, Thu-Sun 13:00-16:00, 20:00-23:30; Tue-Wed closed
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.
Tip: It closes Tuesday and Wednesday, which catches out visitors who assume a Judería taberna opens daily.
Casa Mazal ★ 4.2
juderia · Calle Tomás Conde 3, 14004 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Tue, Thu, Sun 12:30-16:00, 19:30-23:30; Fri-Sat 12:30-23:30; Wed closed
Casa Mazal cooks the Sefarad and Al-Andalus traditions inside a fourteenth-century Judería house in Córdoba, with no pork anywhere on the carta.
Tip: It closes on Wednesdays, and bookings run through a dedicated reservations line rather than the main house phone.
El Caballo Rojo ★ 4.2
juderia · Calle Cardenal Herrero 28, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Daily 13:00-16:00, 20:00-00:00
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.
Tip: It is steps from the Patio de los Naranjos, so book ahead for lunch; the bar takes walk-ins that the dining rooms cannot.
La Cazuela de la Espartería ★ 4.2
corredera · Calle Rodríguez Marín 16, 14002 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Fri 12:30-16:15, 19:30-00:00; Sat 12:30-16:30, 20:30-00:30; Sun 13:00-16:30
La Cazuela de la Espartería cooks taberna standards beside Plaza de la Corredera, salmorejo, flamenquín, pisto and rabo de toro across its salons.
Tip: Sunday is lunch only and Saturday dinner starts at 20:30, an hour later than on weekdays, so check the clock before you set out.
La Taberna de Almodóvar ★ 4.2
centro · Calle Benito Pérez Galdós 1, 14001 Córdoba
Hours: Mon-Fri 13:00-16:30, 20:30-23:30; Sat 13:30-16:30, 20:30-23:30; Sun 13:30-16:30
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.
Tip: Sunday is lunch only, and the kitchen shuts firmly at 16:30 before the evening service.
La Taberna del Río ★ 4.1
ribera · Calle Enrique Romero de Torres 7, 14002 Córdoba
Hours: Daily 13:00-24:00
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.
Tip: The kitchen runs straight through from 13:00 to midnight, rare in a city that closes between services.
Bodegas Mezquita Céspedes ★ 4.1
juderia · Calle Céspedes 12, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Daily 12:30-23:30, kitchen open all day
Bodegas Mezquita keeps its Céspedes kitchen open all day at the foot of the Mezquita, plating salmorejo, caliphal aubergines and Pedroches oxtail.
Tip: The kitchen runs straight through from 12:30 to 23:30, which makes this the Judería fallback when everything else is between services.
Mesón San Basilio ★ 4.1
san-basilio · Calle San Basilio 19, 14004 Córdoba
Hours: Tue-Sat 13:00-16:00, 20:00-23:30; Sun 13:00-16:00; Mon 20:00-23:00
Mesón San Basilio serves Córdoban home cooking around a patio in the Alcázar Viejo quarter, fried aubergines, salmorejo and rabo de toro leading.
Tip: It sits in the patios district of San Basilio, so pair lunch here with the whitewashed courtyard streets rather than the Mezquita crowds.
Casa Palacio Bandolero ★ 4.0
juderia · Calle Torrijos 6, 14003 Córdoba
Hours: Daily 09:30-00:00
Casa Palacio Bandolero fills a sixteenth-century palace facing the Mezquita, cooking white gazpacho, salmorejo and artichokes in Moriles wine.
Tip: The two patios are the reason to come; on a summer night ask for the terrace beside the Mezquita entrance rather than an interior salon.
