52 editor picks in Granada.
Spanish cooking in Granada means Andalusian tradition shaped by the Sierra and the free-tapas custom that comes with every drink. The city runs from the carmen dining rooms of the Albayzin, like Carmen Mirador de Aixa and Mirador de Morayma with their Alhambra views, to the tapas institution of Los Diamantes across Centro. Damasqueros and Atelier Casa de Comidas in the Realejo push the modern, tasting-menu end of the same kitchen.
