When it comes to tapas, Granada offers one of the best scenes in Spain.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Almost always served free with your drink and often much more generously sized than in other parts of the country, these delightful bites allow you to sample a variety of Spanish flavors without hurting your wallet. In other words, it’s the perfect way to spend an evening out! <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The best part: It’s easy to get to Granada from Seville, so if you’re based in the Andalusian capital, a trip to tapas heaven<\/a> is within your reach. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Here are our top picks for the best tapas bars in Granada. Try one (or all nine of them!) and you’ll see why we’re obsessed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n You’ll have to leave the city center of Granada for this one, but it’s well worth the 10-minute bus ride to the suburban neighborhood of La Chana. Out of all the tapas joints in La Chana’s Las Torres dining district, La Bodeguita (Calle Raya, 3<\/em>) is the biggest and most popular among locals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With a lively terrace and fast and friendly service, La Bodeguita provides the quintessential Granada tapas experience in a more off-the-beaten-path setting. You can’t really go wrong with anything on the menu, but our personal favorite is the lomo stroganoff<\/em>, a pork loin sandwich with a delicious pickle sauce. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Vegetarians needn’t worry: among their huge variety of tapas are many plant-based options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The iconic Los Manueles<\/a> bar has delighted customers in Granada’s historic center since 1917, with a selection of tapas that includes the best (and biggest!) croquettes in town. The tapas menu varies based on the time of day, but nothing at this local favorite disappoints.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Los Manueles is also one of the classiest tapas bars in Granada. Locals love this classic establishment as a place to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This family-run restaurant is truly a hidden gem, and one of the best-quality tapas bars in Granada. We can’t get enough of their fantastic carne en salsa<\/em> and delightful meatballs\u2014even the french fries are enough to make any diner fall in love!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Don’t be put off by La Sitarilla<\/a>‘s seemingly small size, either. There’s a second dining room inside, providing plenty of space to enjoy tapas and drinks in lots of good company.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Traditional cuisine meets modern cooking methods at La Botiller\u00eda<\/a>. The Spanish recipes reinvented in pleasantly surprising ways are delicious and priced fairly. We recommend the carrillada <\/em>tapa: pork cheeks with plum and Pedro Ximenez sauce. Yum!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Local tip<\/strong>: Whether you’re not yet used to Spanish mealtimes or need to eat on a different schedule due to your travel plans, there’s no need to sacrifice convenience for taste. La Botiller\u00eda is one of the few authentic restaurants in central Granada with an all-day kitchen (weekends only). <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One of the top tapas bars in Granada is also one of the simplest. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Located right within the bustling San Agust\u00edn Market, La Picater\u00eda<\/a> specializes in Granada’s famous olives, often served skewered with other tasty ingredients and best washed down with a glass of vermouth. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n That’s right\u2014vermouth isn’t just for old men anymore. (Not in Spain, at least!) Over the past few years, a sort of vermouth renaissance has quickly made it into Granada’s trendiest drink. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Try it here as a quick aperitif before heading out to discover the rest of Granada’s thriving tapas scene.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Los Pensadores<\/a> is a lovely and modern restaurant with innovative cuisine. It’s a great place to enjoy casual tapas as well as an elegant dinner. You can’t go wrong with the homemade alb\u00f3ndigas <\/em>(meatballs) and Russian salad<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Los Pensadores also has their own winery in the nearby village of Santa Fe, so give one of their local wines a try! And if you’re more of a beer person, this is one of the best places to enjoy an ice-cold glass of local Alhambra beer with your meal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Get out of Granada’s busy touristic center and enjoy a gigantic tapa at Rinc\u00f3n de Rodri<\/a>. The tapas are so big, in fact, that they could easily be confused for full meals. You might find that one or two is plenty!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This is also one of the best seafood places in town, with fresh fish brought from the coast of Granada province every day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This relative newcomer on the Granada tapas scene has a lovely ambiance, making it a great place to relax and sip wine while talking with friends. The expert sommeliers at Malvas\u00eda<\/a> can give personalized recommendations based on your taste in wine. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Guide](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tapas-bars-in-Granada-1-1.png\")
