The 50 best casual restaurants in Granada (2024)

What a way to spend our last night here in Granada! This is easily the best meal we had. I recommend the orange lamb, Iberian ham ravioli, cumin cod and almond / avocado/ lime soup! So many fresh and celebrated flavors of Spain! The flamenco itself was a transporting experience. It is an intimate setting where your body beats with the percussion of the stomping and your head sways to the string melody. We felt honored to be apart of this glimpse of the soul of Granada, sharing a bit of love in hard times.

Wonderful show, delicious food, warm welcome and good service. Wish we could have understood what they were singing about with such passion. Maybe a brief introduction of each song in English would help most international tourists feel the same passion. Excellent thoroughly recommended

WOW! The flamenco show was amazing! It was an intimate venue so we were up close to all the performers. The flamenco dancers were so passionate in their performance. The singers and guitarists were also hypnotic. Literally breathtaking. We weren't sure about the food before coming. I wish we would have all been more hungry. The food was absolutely amazing!!! The main course, beef stew, and desert of cheesecake. Both were exceptional! I would definitely recommend Jardines de Zoraya!! All of the people there were VERY friendly and helpful. Enjoyed everything about this place!

We went for to see the flamenco show without dinner, we just ordered drinks and an amazing dessert. The show was amazing, intimate, passionated and full of energy and presence. We just loved it and got so much energy from it and we still talk about it. We saw other flamenco shows afterwards but those were nothing compared to this. You should definitely experience this! Also the settings were nice, small restaurant with an inner garden.

Wonderful, intimate room to see top notch Flamenco. Highly recommend the overall experience.Pics show the view from the 2nd (back row) in front of the stage, at a taller table. Most tables are regular height.We saw an outstanding early show. We were so happy, we decided to stay for dinner in their lovely outside patio.We had one of the 3 course fixed menu (choices given for each course). Do stay for dinner, this is not run of the mill. Your taste buds will thank you for the experience. Merci chef!Great, friendly service. Outstanding waitress.

We went last night. Great little place, friendly people, food better than expected and tasty sangria. Flamenco was outstanding with great singers, a wonderful guitarist and very energetic dancing. Highly recommended.

This is the third time we have been to Jardines de Zoraya. Each and every time they excel themselves tonight was nothing short of phenomenal. The food was excellent with great service. The flamenco show was just WOW. The passion and the emotion and the dancing were all exceptional. Next time we are in Granada we will be back for the fourth time. Thank you.

This show was recommended to us by flamenco teachers from Spain that had done workshops in our town and it really did not disappoint. I was worried that all the shows in Granada would be too touristy, seems inevitable. But they have struck a perfect balance here of bringing the emotion and high quality dancing, singing and musicianship even to a room full of tourists.We were also very impressed with the food, we just had tapas but everything was exceptional.Also a shout out to their technical team. The QR code ordering system and website worked seamlessly to get food and drinks in and out during the show. The waiters and wait staff as well, dealing with visitors from all over the world and keeping everyone refreshed while not disturbing the show were the height of professionalism.Overall, a great night and a highlight of our trip.

Our family visited today on a Sunday night for a one hour performance. Our hopes were high, and it incredibly exceeded our expectations. My parents have no music trainings, we also unfortunately don’t speak Spanish, but apparently the art has no boundary to deliver the most powerful emotion to us. The cantaors’(singer) gravelly voice, guitarist’s improvisation, plus the passionate dancers’ mesmerizing stamping, all together brought such a sincere and emotionally intensive performance. Only those artists who enjoyed themselves despite their life struggle can create this expressive art.For those who enjoy music, this is a great opportunity to get in touch of a rich music form. There are so much to say about the application of polyrhythms, syncopation, alle breve, harmony, improvisation and many more, especially when they are live.Lastly, thanks for bringing out tonight’s performance. We have not attended other live flamenco performances, but this one is honestly unforgettable. The reception is also so hospitable to us and every other guests. So, be nice to them too.

Such an amazing and romantic evening. And great food.I recommend the warm cheesecake. It was so delicious that we came back the second day for it.The flamenco show was incredible: professional and passionate artists! They made us feel so many emotions. Wonderful night. It was our third time there.

A real show by real artists. Thank you for an incredible evening.We booked our tickets online, and chose to have dinner there - you eat on the patio, before the show begins. I can assure you, you don’t want to eat while the show is on. You won’t be able to take your eyes of the artists.The dishes were alright, playing a lot on a sweet-salty combo that doesn’t always suit every tastes. (Ex: tomato salad with raspberries, raviolis in honey Aubergine sauce)

Incredible Flamenco!! This place was recommended by several locals and it did not disappoint! The musicians and dancers had amazing chemistry and fed off each others musicality to create a spectacular, improvised performance. My attention was captivated from the start and I could have watched for hours more! The venue is very intimate and allows you to feel the passion exuding from the artists. Even the food was amazing! Would highly recommend enjoying both the food and flamenco - you won’t regret it.

It was an incredible experience to attend the show. There was soooo much energy and soul put by the performers that it took our full attention. Though we did not understand any words they spoke but the music and dance took our breath away. Much recommended.Few tips: if you live close to Royal cathedral then be ready to walk high (like you are walking on the mountain).Keep water bottle with you when walking to this placeIf you are visiting Granada then this is must visiting place.Guitarist is awesome..Buy tickets in advance…

I could not recommend this show and restaurant more. It’s one of the most amazing performances I’ve seen. It’s extremely intimate, the dancers, guitarist and singers are insanely talented (everything is spontaneous), and it just felt like a real glimpse into the flamenco dance culture (didn’t feel touristy). Not to mention, the food was amazing. Every dish made me think - I chose all local dishes and the flavours were fantastic. Do not miss this food and show!

There were around 10 people during the session at 10:30 pm weekday in November. We didn't book the ticket in advanced. Show is wonderful. Sangria is a bit strong.

Absolutely loved the live flamenco show. All the performers put their heart and soul into it. I could definitely feel the passion and energy they performed with! Highly recommended!They have a nice dining area as well (outside and inside). Staff were super amazing!

Pros:-Incredibly professional,talented dancers who have discovered their respective styles. They managed to emote and showcase their strengths. This provided a unique production value. If there were an additional dance number as a duo, this would be a perfect performance.- Excellent waitstaff, who ensured a streamlined process.Cons:- The male singer was very unprofessional, having a personal conversation with the guitarist several times during the live performance. It is evident that the two singers have incredible voices.This impacted the quality of the experience.- The stage direction can be so much better, particularly with organizing the transitions via a storytelling section for setting up each performance. A cohesive production will truly elevate this show to excellence.- The food items lack sufficient flavor, especially for the price point.Overall, I think I had fun. I simply believe that a few improvements

WOW! Just wow! The flamenco show was fascinating. It was an intimate venue so we were able to see all artists up close. The flamenco dancers were so passionate in their performance it’s as though i was the one dancing and feeling. Was holding my breath the whole time. The singers and guitarists were also hypnotic. Literally breathtaking. Will watch again in Jardines de Zoraya.

Wow! What a great show! You could literally feel the energy and passion from the artists. It was such an amazing performance that I almost forgot how delicious the food was. 10/10 recommend.

One of the best flamenco shows I’ve seen. The footwork was AMAZING. The staff was kind and quick to bring drinks and our food. They had a variety there to offer. The setting is cozy and intimate, every seat is a good seat in the house. Get there at least 15 minutes ahead to get your food. We got there RIGHT as it started (hard to find parking near there) or do yourself a favor and walk or take a cab. You won’t be disappointed with the show. We took our little who enjoyed it too at ages 8 and three. You can FEEL the passion these performers have. Enjoy!!!

We had a mixed experience at Flamenco Granada - Tablao Jardine: the flamenco show was incredible; both singers and dancers were outstanding and able to transfer their passion with their performance.Food was not great and really overpriced considering that we paid for the show separately. As an example, a simple portion of French fries is 7€! I’d recommend without any doubts the Flamenco show but suggest to avoid the food in the restaurant.

Very good, food was acceptable , not the best . Show is great . The only thing is not about the show. Some people think, they can laugh and converse like they were in the club,, this show is very intimate, and it is to be enjoy by watching and listening rather than be talking and laughing. There was a french couple that had this behavior, the guitarist very politely, stop and told the public , that the art of Flamenco is to observe and to stay quiet. They continued with this behavior., and since they were next to me it was becoming very annoying, I had to tell them in French to please be courteous and to leave stem to the show.If you the reader wants to have a night where you can Converse. Laugh and giggle . This is not a show for you..
