Restaurante Albalá

We ate here over the Easter weekend. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Almost ordered too much food but luckily the waiter told us to reduce by one plate, it was a good call as we were stuffed 😀 Have to mention the hummus on the specials, it was delicious 😋 As well as the tuna al ponzo, such a refreshing dish. The pineapple dessert was amazing, whoever thought let's put pesto and pineapple together, Genius!!

The best metal in the trip so far. At the level of a Michelin restaurant but with more affordable price (we paid about 50 euro each)

Our evening at Restaurant Albalá was marked by satisfactory customer service and an intriguing fusion take on Andalusian cuisine. This upscale establishment seemed to be a favorite among both locals and tourists looking for a special dining experience. However, while we had some expectations, not every dish met the mark. To start, we ordered the sea bass carpaccio with seaweed, a dish that wowed with its colorful presentation but left us disappointed in terms of taste, earning a modest 3/10. The lobster lasagna, a deconstructed take on the classic, fared better and was the highlight of the meal, though it arrived with more liquid than expected, and slightly cold, earning a respectable 7/10. We then ventured into the grilled octopus with mushroom and red wine reduction sauce, which, while tasty and featuring tender octopus, lacked a certain depth of flavor, earning a 6/10. Dessert, featuring the recommended flan and a cheesecake with blue cheese, left us with mixed feelings. The flan didn't quite hit the creamy texture we had hoped for, and the blue cheese in the cheesecake was a bold but somewhat polarizing choice. Overall, our dining experience at Restaurant Albalá warrants a 5/10 rating.

My dinner here was spectacular. The freshest and finest ingredients, the green gazpacho was incredible. The staff were warm and welcoming and gave Michelin-star service. Great wines, food was delish. I will definitely be back. Good for a date night or larger groups as well. And they have a full vegetarian menu available as well!

Almost perfect but the cannelloni was a bit too salty for our liking. But the prawn ssam wrap and steak tartare are to die for. The fideua stew was very good as well for a cold night. Very efficient and friendly service.

The ambience, the food and the service all exceptional. My son and I ate here and could not choose a favourite dish, they were all so good. Excellent Sherry selection. Superb value for money. The only minor blip for me was no drinks menu, but the waiter was able to recommend from the wide selection.

WOW! We had our farewell lunch for our Southern Spain tour, everything was just so outstanding, no wonder the restaurant is Michelin Guide mentioned.

I was actually just looking for "something" to eat, anything halfway decent would have done really. But despite the fact that I'm spoiled when it comes to food, this place was way beyond my expectations! I had the lamb shoulder with baked potatoes and pimentos. This meal was a sensation! Super tender meat, wonderful taste and perfectly spiced, really good potatos (not dry, not greasy) and delicious pimentos. There was also some dark bread served, which was simply great (and I say that as a German who loves bread). I was the only guest when the restaurant opened - the music was rather calm and peaceful, just a very pleasant atmosphere. The waiter was very attentive and nice. I must say, I'm sad I never went there before. I came to Jerez frequently for the past 8 years - and I haven't been to a better restaurant around here than this one in all these years! The place is just more than "just another, good Spanish restaurant" with furniture that falls apart, waiters that are running around with the speed of sound and meals that remind me of a brick once in the stomach. I can only recommend it - and will undoubtedly come back! What a discovery. Thanks a lot!
