Comimos mi mujer y yo milhojas de manzana, espárragos, wok de presa y bizcocho de naranja. Todo estaba divino, al igual que la atención. Cuando volvamos a Granada repetiremos este restaurante. No os lo perdáis.

De los mejores restaurantes en los que he estado nunca. Cristóbal nos atendió de forma increíble. Además, nos invitaron a un entrante, y sus platos eran muy elaborados y sabrosos. Calidad-precio perfecta. Completamente recomendable.

Sorprendente y atrevido, nos ha encantado, de hecho volveremos, nos quedan muchos platos por descubrir. Hay que sumar un servicio excelente, te hacen sentir muy cómodos. Muy recomendable!!!

Uno de los mejores sitios de Granada. Restaurante pequeño y acogedor. Comida impresionante. Muy buena e interesante carta de vinos. No defrauda.

SUBLIME. Rara vez pongo 5 estrellas. Y, en este caso, si pudiera poner más, lo haría. La primera vez fuimos por recomendación. Salimos de cenar con reserva para el día siguiente, con el pacto de sentarnos a comer y que ellos (dueños y jefa de cocina) eligieran por nosotros lo que íbamos a comer. No solo que, a la noche siguiente recordaban nuestro pacto sin necesidad de recordarlo, sino que sabian con exactitud que habíamos tomado, que habíamos comido y, por consiguiente, sabían que elegir para no repetir. TODO es una EXPERIENCIA: la atención, las recomendaciones, las conversaciones, la carta de vinos, la elaboración de cada plato. Todo marida de tal forma, que, ingredientes que nunca hubieses considerado, de repente cobran protagonismo. Sin ninguna duda, vale cada centavo invertido. Por que es eso: una inversión, no un gasto. Volveremos. Y recomendamos que, en la medida que su bolsillo lo permita, reserven aunque sea un almuerzo o una cena en este lugar maravilloso. Gracias Cristobal y Jefa, por brindarnos tan grata experiencia. Hasta pronto.

Excelente. Muy bien ambientado, comida de primera. Reservar con tiempo: no es tan pequeño pero tiene muchísima demanda. La carta es muy completa y uno se queda con ganas de probar todos los platos. Sobresale en una ciudad donde por lo general se come muy bien, este es excelente y con propuestas originales.

Es un sitio sencillo y a la ve muy acogedor. Lo lleva una pareja: él es quien te atiende y ella está en cocina. Desde que entramos nos sentimos cómodos. Nos encantó la bienvenida que nos dieron, con una gran sonrisa y cercanía. Una vez en la mesa pedimos dos copas de vino y nos dejaron la botella en la mesa para que nos sirviéramos nosotros mismos. Junto con el vino nos pusieron un aperitivo muy rico. Para dos, pedimos: el cordero con salsa de yogur y couscous, que estaba riquísimo; wok de pulpo, delicioso y sabroso, y los huevos con sesos, también estaban muy buenos pero es verdad que el puerro y el pepino le quitaba sabor al seso, que personalmente a mi me encanta. Como postre pedimos el bizcocho de naranja. Estaba delicioso! Empapadito y jugoso. No fue nada caro y, además, a la hora de pagar el vino nos cobró las dos copas que nos habíamos bebido. Es difícil reservar en este sitio, pero merece tanto la pena que intentaremos volver a ir lo antes posible para probar más platos deliciosos y caseros de su carta. Gracias por la experiencia.

Excelente comida, el postre delicioso, el servicio maravilloso, el ambiente muy agradable.

Una magnífica cena, la calidad de los platos muy buena y muy originales. El ambiente tranquilo, buena música de fondo y el trato fue estupendo. Repetiría sin dudarlo.

It was awesome! A true taste explosion! We booked a second time because it was the best experience ever and the perfect conclusion. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was also excellent! You should definitely visit this restaurant! We tried different dishes, and every single one was outstanding.

Nice restaurant, very tastfull courses. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Best to reserve a table, but if you're lucky, you might be able to get a table. It is al rather small restaurant with limited amount of tables. More than enough choice in dishes. If you're in Granada you should visit this place.

One of the best meals I've ever had. The service was excellent and the food even better; had it not been closed on Monday we would have gone the very next day. Between us we had: The lamb sweet bread, Homemade pate, Steak, Deer lasagna (best lasagna ever.), Chocolate brownie, The Goats cheesecake and an amazing Rioja. It couldn't have been better!

I went without a reservation, but since I was alone, they were able to find me a spot. I ordered Tataki de atún con mahonesa de wasabi and Grilled lamb sweetbreads, and for dessert, I chose Bizcocho de naranja. Every single bite was incredibly delicious. The owners were truly helpful and kind. They have a wide variety of offal dishes, and I regret not being able to try more. I’ll definitely visit again!

Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! The atmosphere is cozy, and fun! Vinyl plate chargers and cork on the walls. Service attentive and helpful. We enjoyed the fried chickpea salad, duck breast, cool pea soup and deer loin lasagna. So flavorful. And, the cheesecake ! Yum.

JM

We just stumbled upon this one after checking into our hotel nearby. The food was absolutely delicious (first time trying sweetbreads) and service was excellent. We also had the asparagus+anchovies and pate which were yum. Must try in Granada.

Kelly Wu

Love love loved everything about this family owned restaurant. The husband gave us fantastic and welcoming service while the wife cooked delicious dishes that we wish we could digest faster for more! One of our favourite restaurant across our travels in Barcelona and Andalusia!

Intimidate restaurant serving excellent food. Service from this husband and wife team was really good and all for a fair price, we were so pleased the host managed to find us a table. Could not fault it. Best meal for a long time, highly recommend.

Granada's hidden gem. A small, cozy restaurant with great cuisine and great service. After what we tried, I felt like staying in Granada to try the rest of the dishes on the menu. I recently decided to highlight only unique places with opinions, and this is one of them.

Robin Baker

One of our favorite restaurants while in Spain. LP placemats, 1000s of corks on the walls, very cool. Good wine selection; gave us a split pea soup with salmon bits as our free tapa! Only 10 or so tables, so make a reservation.

Margie Raimondo

Wow! This restaurant is doing everything right. Quaint atmosphere with only 8 tables.. with one of the owners running in front of the house and his wife cooking in the kitchen. And when I say cooking, I mean creating dishes that are beautifully presented in a rustic style and absolutely delicious. We had starters, entrees, and dessert. The pate was off the charts, but so were the grilled lamb sweetbreads. Everyone loved their food..and the service was fabulous.

Make sure to visit this exceptional place when in Granada. We loved it here. We came here without making a reservation and kind of expected it would be full. And it was! All the tables reserved...Luckily, though, some couples were supposed to come for a late dinner 🍽️ So we got about 80 minutes to taste some of their amazing dishes. The service was outstanding, the guy who served us was attentive, polite, nice & friendly.

A phenomenal dining experience in the heart of Granada. Run by a husband and wife team, El Mercader has delicious food and impeccable service. And it’s well loved so def make reservations if you want to come! They only take reservations by phone but I was able to walk in and make one during lunch time. Food: a work of art. I got the lamb, the asparagus appetizer, and the goat cheesecake. All were amazingly good. The lamb was perfectly marinade and very tender. I also don’t usually like cheesecake but the ingredients looked really good so I decided to give it a shot and it’s probably the favorite cheesecake I’ve ever had. Service: impeccable. The server who I think is one of the owners was able to give good recommendations based off my preferences and gave a great wine recommendation as well. It’s not the cheapest restaurant in Granada but you get what you pay for here. The food quality is a work of art with carefully curated flavors, not something that was just slapped together. Overall, would definitely recommend checking out if you’re in Granada!

One of the best meals I’ve had in Spain. A hole in the wall family run restaurant with an experimental menu at reasonable prices. Tried their deer lasagna, duck breast with pineapple, lamb sweetbread as a starter, and goat cheesecake for dessert. Tens across the board for this one, explosion of flavors in deceptively simple dishes. Managed to walk in for a table for 2 on a Saturday afternoon.

Real delight! So happy we got a table here and had our best dinner in Granada. We ordered duck, deer lasagna, asparagus with sardines as a starter - everything was delicious! We couldn't help and orders deserts as well - great experience. Don't miss this foodies' paradise

Lindsey Bakal

Hands down the best meal we had during our two weeks in Spain, which is why I'm reviewing it almost a year later. We had a local call and get us a reservation and it was absolutely worth every penny. I loved the pineapple with mustard that came with my meat, so unique. And when I ordered a glass of wine, the server left the bottle at the table to allow for refills and then approximated how much I drank, kindly and intentionally in my favor. The atmosphere was really nice and we had a wonderful time.

Tati Delamuta

Great food and great service. My husband had some dietary restrictions and the staff was super helpful and friendly. We arrived at 13:30 as soon as it opened so we managed to get a table without reservation- otherwise I advise you to book in advance since the place is usually fully booked.

Reinventing traditional Spanish recipes: this remarkable restaurant, with a tiny dining room, has quickly become our favorite in Granada. Here is how to deal with it wonderful quirks: The recipes on the menu all reinvent a classical recipe, most if the time Spanish, but sometimes I. The recipes present a combination of textures and tastes with lovely balance and unexpected touches, for us always a delightful discovery: we always try to convince the friends we take there to order different dishes so we can all taste everything! The owner and his wife, the chef, change the menu every few months. A few mainstays remain, but the rest rotates: we love trying everything new. In addition to the menu, there are also dishes and deserts of the day, which we have always found interesting to try! Because the place is so small, it can be a challenge to get reservations (the place is almost always booked same day). What he have found us best is to walk over when the restaurant is open, and simply ask when there are openings :-) We have been told a few times that the owner can be brusque. We are foodies, and found the truth to be quite the contrary: he is a foodie also, and really enjoys discussing his recipes and why they work. Every time we have been there we have had a delightful experience and our discussions with the owner and his wife have been fascinating. Our guests always find the menu to have too many attractive choices. We have found the owner's suggestions to be excellent, both to pick a good menu and to pair it with local wines, surprising in their range and quality. Our preference, in general, has been for Spanish recipes, but we have also really enjoyed others. El Mercader is our to-go place in Granada. I am almost hesitant to recommend it because I don't want to attract even more customers there :-)

El establecimiento es pequeño, pero acogedor y el encargado encantador. La carta no es muy extensa, pero muy variada. La relación calidad/cantidad/precio es muy equilibrada. Todos los platos que pedimos muy ricos y los postres geniales. Los vinos fueron recomendación del encargado y fueron todo un acierto. No repetir, sería pecado... Lo haremos, seguro.
