Restaurante Casa Torcuato

Friendly service. We were offered free water. Great food. Cozy and good vibes.

This is a must go place. I went twice whilst staying in Albacin. The staff were so friendly and patient with my pedestrian Spanish. As per tradition you get a small dish when you order a drink, I ordered a wine and the first accompaniment was half a jacket potato with aioli... On a cold day this was like a welcome hug. When I went in the week it definitely felt more local with lots of regulars (in a good way) but the bustle on the Friday didn't detract from the service or friendliness. The patatas albondigas and the tartan de queso were particular favourites. If I had cash I would have tipped but there wasn't the option on card so all I can do is encourage others to go even if you're stopping by for a drink before a meal elsewhere. (But you might as well just stay and eat here!) The food looks humble but is full of flavour 😊. The menu is by qr code, I didn't realise this to start with!

Fried mixed seafood for two was alright. They served us the pork solomillo instead of the pork secreto (pork armpit, which is more fatty and tender than solomillo, and cheaper too), and they only informed us when we got the bill. The pork was very disappointing, dry and tough. The salmon special was the sole shining light in this meal, salmon was fresh and paired well with the bechamel and spinach stuffing. We were surprised that we were over-charged the bill as the wrong items were listed. The server corrected these accordingly after we pointed it out, and we hope it was an accident.

Best restaurant in Granada if you want typical food but without crowd of tourists. I ate different tapas and everything was supreme, staff friendly and most of all very beautiful location with music and a good atmosphere. Only thing you have to walk a little to the hill to get there Gazpacho was the best dish

El Torcuato is a hidden gem off the beaten tourist path, offering an authentic dining experience that locals swear by. The fact that it’s mostly frequented by people from the area speaks volumes about its quality and tradition. The food is rich in flavor, prepared with care, and truly represents the essence of Andalusian cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel like a guest rather than just a customer. If you’re looking for a genuine taste of local life and exceptional food, this is the place to be.

It is a lovely restaurant that has plenty of outdoor seating. It has orange trees outside that enhance the outdoor dining experience. It is very busy and popular with locals. The staff are quick to serve the high number of visitors. The drinks were excellent, and there was a good selection available. The prices have increased, but they still offer good value. The tapas with drinks are excellent and of good quality. It is an enjoyable and social experience to relax in the Granada sun.

We had a very good lunch inside and highly recommend it. But unfortunately we left a set of AirPod inside and came back for it on the second day, and it was a Sunday and the restaurant was closed. We are leaving today and can’t wait until tomorrow. So it will be highly appreciated that we can get a feedback on how we can get it back.

Great atmosphere - fantastic large portions - we shared a one salad and one pork (4 cuts) - ample food. Great friendly service. Good beer.
