Bodegas Campos

Institution in Córdoba’s. Opened over 100 years ago as a wine cellar, then a restaurant over 40 years ago. We had the famous oxtail stew, a refreshing cold soup, and an artichoke dish topped with Iberico ham. Service was great and the waiters could speak English.

We didn’t have a reservation, but they recommended we come right at 8:00 when they opened to get a table in the bar area, which was perfect (and not too noisy/boisterous). Excellent, fresh food and a greater variety compared to most other places we ate during our week in Andalusia.

Our tour guide recommended this restaurant, just off the main tourist places. The food was good, the service excellent. We enjoyed mazamorra, salmorejo (cold soups, pictured) jamón de bellota, rabo de toro and out-of-this-world desserts.

Beautiful restaurant in an exquisite setting. Attention paid to the details; lighting, linen tablecloths, napkins, table silencer pads (rarity these days), young but capable staff. Excellent wine list which includes a selection of local fortified sherry styles wines (Oloroso pairing with the local jambon is incredible!). We had the Rabo de Toro rice with shitake mushrooms and asparagus (nice for spring)-creamy mouthfeel; dark, rich with red wine and gelatinous from the tail marrow -an indulgence to be sure! Paired with a bold Roja this Cordoba dish was everything we’d been hoping for!

The most delicious oxtail I’ve ever tasted. Friendly staff and good service. Orange sorbet with olive oil is amazing. Highly recommend eating here.

Fantastic food and service in a traditional restaurant. We had a wonderful meal.

We came for lunch around 2 pm after sight seeing. We stopped for a snack earlier in the day forgetting that we has this reservation. So, we are not that hungry when we got here. We just ordered a light meal so it is hard judge the food here, but we had no complaints with the food we had or the service. The food seemed fresh. The bar looked like it might have been the cooler more happening place to stop around 2 pm for a drink.

We had a wonderful experience at Bodegas Campos last night. The food was incredible. The best I’ve had in Andalucía so far. The ox tail and Iberian pork cheek were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They have an extensive wine list as well. The service was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was intimate and felt very traditional. Though it was pricey, I would fully recommend eating here if you can.

Very oldest place. The food is ok, the place is very well decorate. The service was good.

This place is highly recommended in a few guidebooks and I can see why - lots of locals and the whole place is cute, a little tour after the meal is good (if there aren't events at the different rooms / gardens). However, the food's just so-so and comparatively overpriced in the area. The portions are small and the cooking's nothing to write home about. The only good thing is they have their own complimentary parking (be sure to tip the nice guard!).

Enjoyed an early dinner here in the bar area (full menu was available and had comfy tables). This place was kid friendly. We ordered a lot of food. My favorite was the fried cod pieces. My wife also enjoyed the artichokes. The meat stew dishes were also good. The rest of the dishes were a bit of a blur. Good wine and excellent sherry. You can buy some here to take home with you. This restaurant had some of the best bread we had in all of Spain.

After visiting the Mezquita, we wanted to try this place because of all the rave reviews. It's less than a 10-min walk from the Mezquita and was easy to find. We had a late lunch and there was no wait. We were seated at a table in the bar area. We each had a drink and shared a plate of Jamon Iberico & Salmorejo (Cordoba's version of gazpacho). Both were very good and would recommend it to anyone. I wanted to try their Rabo de Toro (Oxtail) but we weren't that hungry because it's a minimum 2 person order.

My very favorite Tapa restaurant. We love Córdoba and this is the very best place to go. Great Jamon, cold beer, good wine. This is the bomb.

Pleasant ambiance with unique, traditional Audalucian dishes. We appreciated the friendly and accommodating staff. Our meal was memorable for the many different preparations we experienced for the first time. Despite being near the Mezquita, Bodegas Campos isn't a tourist trap, but filled with locals. Using the online menu to name some of the dishes we tried: "Tuna salad with tuna and prawns" is a mayonnaise based potato salad with diced shrimp and cooked tuna. Interesting cold starter with a tang. "Grilled potatoes with minced sausage" is another cold starter of sliced potato with crumbled chorizo. Nice balance of flavors between mild potato and spicy sausage. "Pisto with poultry egg" is a tasty ratatouille topped with a fried egg. Other dishes weren't listed in the online menu: A cold, tangy, white soup was refreshing. Sautéed pork loin was flavorful with a sweet glaze. Shrimp fried in a thin dough provided a rich crunchy element to our meal.

Nice and cozy place in terms of decoration but the food is so not up to the expectations. The flamenquin was no better than any other we tried in a daily menu bar; the cod was literally 5cm square and poorly desalted (forget about fresh fish), and so on. The overall was highly disappointing. The good name and fame don't match the current quality.

Starter is perfect...But main dish is....Oh, you guys can see on your own...It just looks like a....P.S: Too slow for dishes

Very good food and not too far from Mezquita so this makes for a perfect restaurant to enjoy before the tour. The service was quite good as was the food. We had jamon iberico, croquetas, soap, patatas huevos...all very tasty.

I have been many times to this place... It is not the typical restaurant you can afford very often, but time to time it is a great choice for special occasions/celebrations. Fine traditional Cordoba tapas and dishes, including the Rabo de Toro and Salmorejo. Great selection of meat and fish, and large wine list. The place is unique: it is like an old traditional house, in the hearth of the historic district. Excellent stuff, although sometimes, when the restaurant is full, I was served by some waiters that did not meet the expectations. So I suggest the manager to check this out. But overall, a great restaurant. Probably, the best fine dining one in the city of Córdoba.

Delicious food, although you may have to wait on a busy night. The family and I got lucky and found a seat immediately. I had the gazpacho de almendras (almond gazpacho), flamenquines (deep-fried ham rolls, a specialty in Córdoba), and presa ibérica. The gazpacho was wonderful and the meat was, as the name implies, rustic style browned in olive oil. Very tasty. Though if you are a fan of flamenquines, the best ones in town are a block away at La Tinaja. What really left us impressed were the two desserts we shared, a brownie topped with vanilla icecream, and cinnamon icecream. Both of these were fantastic and the perfect size to share. The texture of the brownie was amazingly light and satisfying without a hint of the gooey ooze that one expects in the U.S.

Great, interesting and welcoming restaurant. Beautiful ambiance and menu of local dishes including Cordoba's version of paella, various fish and meat dishes -- all very good. Service was excellent and fascinating walk around the building to see the signed wine casks.
