Where to Eat in Granada: A Food Lover’s Guide by Travey Club
Granada is a dream destination for food lovers. It’s one of the few cities in Spain where every drink comes with a free tapa, and where centuries of Moorish, Andalusian, and Mediterranean influences come together on the plate.
From buzzing tapas bars to traditional restaurants and sweet local treats, Granada knows how to feed both your curiosity and your appetite. At Travey Club, here’s our curated guide on where (and how) to eat in Granada.
Go Tapas Hopping (It’s a Way of Life Here)
Granada’s tapas culture is legendary. Order a drink, and the kitchen decides your tapa — often generous enough to be a small meal.
Travey Club Tapas Favorites:
- Bodegas Castañeda – Classic Granada vibes, jamón, cheeses, and vermouth
- Los Diamantes – Famous for fried seafood and bustling energy
- Bar Poe – Creative, international-style tapas with big flavors
