Restaurante El Faro de Cádiz

Classy restaurant, with an attached tapas bar round the corner. Top class food and great service. Excellent local wine, not just the usual rioja. Interesting desserts. Highly recommended

Our night at this restaurant was absolutely unforgettable. The service was excellent, warm, and made us feel right at home from the very beginning. One of the highlights of the evening was the Chirigotas show, which had us laughing non-stop. It was a brilliant and lively performance that made the atmosphere even more special. The food was equally impressive. The fish baked in salt was cooked to perfection, the wine selection was fantastic, and the dessert was the perfect sweet ending to an incredible night. Without a doubt, I would return to Cádiz just to experience this place again. It is truly a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy amazing food, great entertainment, and a night to remember.

I can’t fault this place for service or food, both impeccable. But atmosphere, there was none. The staff are very professional and helpful, especially with my food allergies. Their menu is clearly defined for allergens and the staff are also knowledgeable about the food they serve. I was able to eat my favourite rabo de toro for the first time in years because here, unlike any other restaurant where I’ve enquired, they don’t coat the meat in flour before it is sealed, so that was a rare treat. The salmorejo is also gluten free. Reasonably priced considering standard, quality and location. I would return.

Interesting experience and one of the few places where I had to wait in line to enter just as it was opening for lunch. The bar is standing only, which felt like a very Spanish experience, but the tapas selection I got to sample was delicious. A lonely planet suggestsion, it was worth the wait.

Overall almost excellent experience! The food was great. The highlights were tuna adobo, sponge cake, marinated clams. Miguel was very friendly and helpful. We recommend it overall, but we don’t give 5 stars bcoz the shrimps were not cleaned as expected. (We expected at least the head of the shrimp to be removed but it seems to be a common practice in Spain to serve the whole shrimp).

Excellent restaurant in Cádiz. It perfectly encapsulates the essence of high-end Andalusian cuisine. The dishes are generous and well-served, with a unique flavor. The service is wonderful, with the staff always attentive and friendly, yet always willing to help and advise customers.

For one of the better presentations of Gaditano cuisine, this is a good choice. We are in the more casual area, the formal dining room looked elegant and with a larger selection so if we went back I would try that. For the type of food and service offered in the more casual side, I feel that Casa Lazo is a much better choice.

I had very high hopes as the restaurant was supposed to be the top restaurant in Cádiz. Unfortunately, the food was not to our liking. The oysters were good. The sea urchin was no more than a shell filled with raw shrimp. The shrimp was not cut fine enough and the lemon mousse on top did not flavour the filling. The tuna was very fatty and unpleasant to eat. I could not eat it and gave it back after just eating 2 small slices. My companions had respectively beef and iberian pork. It was just meat on a plate. The promised mashed potato and green salad never materialised. The food is just not good enough.

WOW!!! If you are looking for a premier dining experience, look no further. The staff is both professional and friendly. Of course the drinks are excellent... The food options offer you the best of the region. Make sure you try the red tuna belly. It is the best fish-dish I have had in my life. Highly recommend!!!
