Restaurante El Faro de Cádiz

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.

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.

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.

We got in on the second try, it seems you need for sure a reservation for dinner. “Tuna Adobo” is something special. The sea urchin too( mixed of seafood and interesting texture )) rice 👌🏻In general food is amazing)

An institution that one must go to while Cadiz....the starter of anchovy was beautifull presentable and well balanced and delicious in the palate. Other starters are the marinated blue fin tuna and the artichoke with lard, both delicious. We had the fish of the day as main course, snapper which cooked into perfection. And do not miss the dessert, hazelnuts flan with Amontillado ! They do have a tapas bar at the back of restaurant which we did not have time to try out. We will surely be back.

At Restaurante El Faro de Cádiz I ate in the tapas bar area, not the formal restaurant. As for the sea urchin, it was interesting to try but I wouldn't get it again. The battered cod dipped in mustard sauce was yummy. The pistachio dessert was similar to flan but I didn't care for the salt sprinkles on it. Not overly sweet though, which I liked.

I expected so much from this place. We order Sea Urchin, Foie Gras, Dorada Ahumada, Young Beef. Something was not fresh. We did not even finish main dish and already had to go to toilet. After all we did not finish dinner or even wine. 100 € for diarrhea. The waiter only came to get the order through all time did not even come once to ask if everything is alright. In the toilet the doors did not close. There was no paper. Totaly disaster.

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!!!
