El Faro de Cádiz

Food was not very good. Expensive and not worth of the hype. The steak, is advertised as sirloin but so much fat, and difficult to chew. The catch of the day was the worst dish ever. The flesh didn’t taste fresh at all. Also, We waited forever for our order to be taken. Do not recommend.

Stunning dishes! A must to order the Tortilla de Camarones, Gilda de atún and Langostinos with chickpeas. Service was impeccable and if you are sitting at the bar, make yourself a favour and walk along the restaurant to see the decoration, truly special! A must in Cadiz!

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

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.

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 felt privileged to eat the spectacular food they produce in this restaurant. We had sea urchin, prepared in a way we are not accustomed to. Usually, I have eaten it fresh on sushi or tossed with pasta. This delicate presentation was a delight! Pâté de cabracho, tortilla de camarones, albondiguitas de marisco, almejas con espinacas, navajas, tocino! The waiter stopped us before we could overdo it. But we can’t have these lovely things back home!😢and they took care of calling a taxi. Personal muy simpático y profesional. Do book in advance. It’s not difficult to get a reservation. Better reserve than turn up with no table!

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).

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!!!
