22 cuisines, most places first
Spanish52 restaurantsSpanish cooking in Granada means Andalusian tradition shaped by the Sierra and the free-tapas custom that comes with every drink.
Spanish tapas20 restaurantsTapas are the heart of how Granada eats: order a drink and a free plate arrives unbidden, a custom the city defends fiercely.
Cocktail bar17 restaurantsGranada drinks late, and its cocktail scene runs from historic bodegas to modern mixing rooms, all shadowed by the city's free-tapas custom.
Cafe16 restaurantsCafe culture in Granada blends classic Spanish coffee bars with the Moorish teterias of the Albayzin, where mint tea is poured under tiled ceilings.
Street food15 restaurantsGranada's street eating runs on churros, fried fish and the tortilla and hornazo handed over a counter rather than at a table.
Bakery14 restaurantsGranada's baking tradition leans on convent sweets and the local pionono, a small rolled cake soaked in syrup and topped with toasted cream.
Brunch11 restaurantsBrunch is a newer arrival to Granada, where breakfast has long meant a coffee and a tostada rather than a long late-morning table.
Wine bar10 restaurantsGranada's wine bars pour the reds of nearby Andalusia alongside the wider Spanish list, often with a free tapa to match.

Levantine3 restaurants
Mediterranean2 restaurantsMediterranean cooking is the broad church of olive oil, grilled vegetables, fish and shared plates that Andalusia helped shape.
Seafood2 restaurantsGranada sits inland below the Sierra Nevada, yet the Costa Tropical and Motril ports are close enough to keep good fish on the table.
Basque1 restaurantBasque cooking travels well across Spain, built on pintxos, salt cod and the grill-led rooms of San Sebastian and Bilbao.
British gastropub1 restaurantThe gastropub is a British idea: a bar that takes its kitchen as seriously as its taps, with shared plates and a proper drinks list.
Caribbean1 restaurantCaribbean cooking, with its rice and beans, slow-stewed meats and tropical spice, is barely represented in Granada's dining scene.
International1 restaurantInternational rooms in Granada gather the cooking that sits outside the Andalusian mainstream, usually a single standout rather than a cluster.
Irish1 restaurantThe Irish pub is a familiar export, built on poured stout, a long bar and a welcome for travellers.
Mexican1 restaurantMexican food, with its tacos, salsas and masa cooking, is a small presence in Granada, a city whose own kitchens dominate.
Moroccan1 restaurant
Pizzeria1 restaurantPizza in Granada is an imported pleasure rather than a local tradition, served in a handful of rooms across the centre.
Valencian1 restaurant
Vegetarian1 restaurantVegetarian eating in Granada has grown alongside its student population, though the tapas tradition still leans heavily on meat and fish.
