La Botillería

We tried having dinner but the restaurant was packed (good sign). We reserved for lunch for the next day We were served potato omelette for free - I appreciated that, something to whet our appetite while perusing the menu. We decided to have the Jamon and Salcichon for starters. The Jamon was sooo good. Went well with the Rioja wine and Cervesa we were drinking. We had the grilled lamb chops and pork. We thought it would not be enough because they were small but it was just right . We had space for dessert and we ordered Bartolillo- we enjoyed that very much If you are in Granada, try out this restaurant- you will not be disappointed. Good food and good service

I don’t usually review, but this place deserves 5 stars. Excellent artichokes. Must try lamb and pork chops. V good service.

A meat lovers paradise! We enjoyed some excellent pork and lamb. The serving was generous. However, I would have like a larger side of vegetables and fries. Service was polite and prompt. Good value for the amount and quality of food. Easy to recommend.

Good food given prices. Can recommend cod-omelette, lamb leg and lasagne-black pudding. Steak tasted meaty and was perfectly cooked, unfortunately the steak was not tender enough or high enough quality for the price. Would not order steak here again. Overall good experience,, but not full score.

Delicious meal. We appreciated the recommendations by the waiter. the tortilla, leg of lamb, and seasonal salad were delicious. We recommend the restaurant to all.

Food was amazing and only if we were sat in the main area of restaurant we would have had an amazing experience. Their ox tail was amazing and overall food and service was great.

Our waiter suggested the costillar de cochinillo asado saying it is the best in Spain so we ordered it even in disbelief. But when our order arrived it was really good, very moisty, tender, and with a perfect crackling skin. If you are traveling through Spain and eat here just skip the eating at Madrid’s Botin, or you’re gonna be very disappointed later (as we were hahaha)!

My second time here! Food is great and service is excellent! Best chicken salad I ever had!! The artichoke is the only dish I don’t like (too dry, funny texture, and I had better at another restaurant) - otherwise, the rest of the dish (cod omelets and cheeks) were very tasty! The portion size is pretty big too (we ordered half size for all except the salad). Definitely will go back again next time I am in Granada!

Our first day in Granada, my wife and I decided to have dinner at La Botillería. For starters, they brought out complimentary chicken in sauce. It was very tasty. We ordered the tomato, and the grilled lamb chops (we ordered 4). Tomatoes came cut in pieces and with olive oil, salt and pepper over top. The olive oil doubled as my dipping for the complimentary bread served at the start. Both good and recommended. For our main course, we had ox tails, and a leg of lamb. Both very healthy portions. The leg of lamb was huge, I couldn't finish. Both recommended, especially the ox tail. Overall, 5 stars. I would definitely eat here again.

Amazing food. Professional service. All around great experience. We sat outside with our dog and loved it.

Husband requested sangria and waiter neglected to ask if I'd like wine, etc. and only served him but did bring water as requested. Ordered lamb chops (because was out of leg of lamb and lamb shoulder) - very small lollipop chops and ok. Mine only came with potatoes ie fries after waiter said there would be vegetables. Husband's prime rib came with fries and vegetables and was good. Requested olive oil and got bread with oil drizzled on it for a cost. Cheese plate was nice as was complimentary chicken tapas Worst part was we were rushed. Food came out on top of appetizers. Waiter was phony giving much more time to two other tables nearby after giving an introduction about how happy he was to wait on us. Took a very long time to get check and pay.

Nice ambiance. Small plate of paella (complimentary?) to start was really yum. Maybe the best thing we had lol. Ordered the big fruit salad which was huge and tasty. The recommended artichoke was alright, and the grilled salmon was meh, because they drizzled some sauce over it that made it not so tasty. Vino was good. Service was friendly. Maybe if we had ordered better dishes, we would be more satisfied. Who knows?

Once again Yelp saves the day. I haven't had much luck with restaurants in Granada and recommendations from the hotel and blogs were not working out. Seeing the high Yelp reviews we took a chance on our 2nd night in Granada. 2 tinto de verano and 2 free mini sliders w a little bit of fries. We ordered 2 croquettes, foie gras pate and the roasted leg of lamb. Omg the lamb, probably is the best leg of lamb I had. The waitress was very proud of the authentication it came with. If you don't like to eat lamb plain, you will probably not like this. This was just a simple roasted leg of lamb with a few cloves of garlic and salt. Nothing else! Moist tender lamb with some crispy skin mixed with the jus from roasting - heavenly. Probably one of the best pieces of lamb I had. Wish I can go back again!

Very good drinks, service is great, would recomend. I had a very fun time and it was great :)

The best meal we've had so far in Spain! We started with a beer which came with complimentary tapas of olives and curry chicken -- creamy and very flavorful. Next came the salmon salad with smoked salmon, avocado, tomato, and fish eggs which was incredibly refreshing. We also got the fried artichoke, it was pretty good but the sauce was a bit sweet? The star of the show was the lamb leg as recommended by previous yelp reviews. The most succulent, well-flavored, and delicious lamb any of us have had -- a must try. Service was wonderful, Anderson (one of the waiters) was very warm and conversational. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. In addition to amazing food, prices were also reasonable.

Delicious, great service, veal Was excellente, salads were perfect, highly recommend. Nice neighborhood away from tourist areas

Had an amazing dinner here at La Botillería. Anderson was my waiter and he was very friendly and spoke very good English. I sat myself inside initially but he insisted I sit outside since the ambiance was better. I ordered a glass of wine, as per usual in Granada wait for your free tapa to arrive before you order more food! After a small burger with fries, I ordered the salmon salad and the pork cheeks with fries (the pork cheeks were melt in your mouth good!) Would recommend to anyone looking for a slightly nicer tapas place in Granada!

Arrived in Granada hungry. Around the corner from my hotel so very convenient. Yelp reviews helped me narrow down location options. Service impeccable, very kind and friendly. Food delicious. Had the salmorejo of which I am a big fan. And the artichokes. Both yummy by my standards. I'll probably be back during my stay.

The ambiance and service are really classy. We found here because of the high review score. But the food was really over salty and unappetizing. We ordered cold tomato soup, it was way too salty to make my throat hurt. Served bread we didn't order, but charged on the bill. The lamb leg was over salty and dry. The oxtail was salty and unappetizing. I maybe only had two bites of each order. Wrapped up to hotel, but threw away at the second day. Just try to correct the star, to avoid misleading other people. If you like very salty food, you will enjoy it.

We enjoyed our meal here after a day at the Alhambra. The standout dish was definitely the lamb leg! The fresh tomatoes were also incredible and had such a sweet fresh flavor.

Our taxi driver took us here when we asked for a good restaurant. So glad he did because it was definitely memorable.... Great service, excellent food and free tapas!! We had the recommended house red wine and sangria . Ordered their house salad and it was a meal on its own. Loved finally getting a good salad in Spain. Then our hostess recommended the special of the day - leg of baby lamb. I did have to not let how it got to my plate bother me ! It was served crispy n so tender . We were so full that we skipped dessert. The after dinner shot of liqueur was nice too. May have to come back tomorrow just for tapas !

Being in Granada you can be overwhelmed by the tapas options. We discovered La Botilleria and had some drinks and Tapas. The drinks, food and service was so good that we returned at night with the kids for more tapas and dinner. Tomato salad was out of this world, jamon, lamb all were excellent. You can choose to sit inside or outside. Highly recommend this place!

I can only add to what people have said before me, it's worth going to have dinner there. The service was excellent The spinach salad have special crunch under it. My wife's steak was cooked perfectly. Leg of lamb is cooked differently at home then at this restaurant and I prefer it their way

Found this place through Yelp and decided to give it a try. It was amazing! Every thing we ordered had trendies flavors. Our waiter, Anderson was a delight and so attentive. Quaint, intimate atmosphere. A definite must if you want a romantic dinner.

Very good food !!! Love this place in Granada !! Every single dish was fabulous!!! Really enjoy the visit ! I'll come back !

La comida es increíble! El ambiente ocupadillo, pero este restaurante es definitivamente uno de mis preferidos en Granada.

One of the best meals we had in Spain. They were amazingly accommodating and seated a large party of nine inside the restaurant (it was on the earlier side around 6 pm). We ordered tapas and meals. The complimentary house tapa was a mustard chicken - extremely flavorful. We ordered two different artichoke tapas, chicken fingers, and a salad. Our meals included the sirloin (a bit on the rare side but they were so gracious and cooked it a bit more for us), the orange salmon (salmon cooked to perfection with a delicious Seville orange glaze) and the highly recommended baby leg of lamb. We thought it was the best lamb we have had. But the shrimp risotto was the most memorable dish of the evening - the most amazing risotto any of us had ever have. We had an amazing dining experience and look forward to returning again for the hospitality, authenticity and food.

Wonderful food and service! Everything was delicious and our waiter was charming. Highly recommended

We ordered wines and fortified wines that we were not sure if they were good. The waiter, without us asking, allowed us to try wines before committing. I am not sure if it is common in Andulcía region and whether others felt the same treatment, but it seems like most places ignore us once they noticed that we are of Asian descent. This place and their waiters treats us with equal service as other skin tones. We received one complementary tapas per drink. The comp tapas were lovely and tastier than other places we have been. Drinks are just a hair more expensive than cheapest places we have been - from EUR2.5 to EUR4.5. each. Free Tapas #1: pork/beef sliders with fries Free Tapas #2: fish with bread and veggies Overall, very good experience, highly recommend!

The service was impeccable and the staff was very attentive. I asked for a red wine recommendation and I enjoyed an excellent Ribera served at perfect temperature. The artichokes were delicious as well as the foie gras and rice pudding. The atmosphere was warm with many local people.

We were so fortunate to stumble into La Botillería after our original bar was closed. The bartender was so kind and made us feel at home. She gave her recommendations for wine and let us try it before we committed to a glass. The first tapa they brought out was incredible! It was thin, grilled pork with mayo and it came with a side of small fries and tomatoes. It was heaven. I would come back alone for the French fries. The second tapa was cod with a yummy tomato sauce and a side of bread and a slaw. The sauce made the entire meal, it complimented the fish perfectly. Our bartender suggested the fried artichoke and they were unlike anything I've ever tasted. They were lightly breaded and the sauce on top was a combination of balsamic and maple syrup. It was also topped with a combo of chopped nuts and corn nuts! The wine was perfect and we couldn't have been happier. Update: we came back the next day.

Sat inside. Staff was very friendly. Had the croquettes, rucola and parmesan salad and the roasted leg of lamb. Delicious.

While the food was good, specifically the roasted leg of lamb, the service was not good. The waitress completely ignored me several times, only addressing my friend who is lighter skinned and fluent in Spanish. I will admit my Spanish is limited but I am very much capable of ordering food in Spanish, however I believe this coupled with my darker skin tone attributed to the lack of service from the waitress.

Friendly, upscale and delicious. We had fresh anchovies, cold tomato soup, jamon iberco, and a great glass of wine. They also serve dry aged beef.

This a great tapas spot just beyond Plaza Nueva in Granada. The tables indoors require reservations, but walk up seating is available at the bar or outside the restaurant. You get a free tapa with a drink. I ordered the croquettes, prawn risotto, and a ham soup. The meal also comes with bread and the restaurant has a very good wine selection. The service was excellent and the atmosphere very relaxing. Note that if you are seated outdoors, you may get a couple of solicitors during your meal (two guys tried to sell me purses). I really enjoyed this restaurant and would highly recommend it for your stay in Granada. Portions are large at table service, so every dish is easily splittable.

This is a must eat at restaurant in Granada. Great local delicacies. Small restaurant, get there early.

A great find! Everyone so friendly and food is awesome. Took our waiter's recommendations and went with ham/cheese plate, lamb leg and tomato/salmon dish. So so so good. I am not a huge lamb fan but this was great. Ham/cheese yummy. But the absolute star was the tomato - never in our lives have we had a better tasting tomato - not even kidding! Didn't take a picture but would go back just for that!!! Drinks and atmosphere were lovely - many locals as well as tourists.

Very good, I loved everything I got and it's on the cheaper side which is great. I also loved how all the staff was really nice and flexible when possible!

This restaurant was one of the only ones open on New Year's day but we were greeted and seated immediately. They gave us olives and bread as appetizers and the food came out pretty fast! The server was very helpful in recommending certain foods and we would come back any day. I would highly advise you to come here if you're in the area. The prices were a bit high but definitely worth.

We came across this highly rated place in a google search. So, we decided to stop here for dinner on our last day in Granada. In most bars and restaurants, you would need to sit by the bar to get a free tapas with drink order. At La Botilleria, you get a generous tapas on the house with drink order. We got this very tasty braised beef tapas. It was so good that my friend literally licked the plate clean. For dinner, we ordered: -tomato burrata and marinated salmon salad (4 stars) - flavours were nice and simple. It was a typical dish that we often have back home. It was good but nothing outstanding. -black pudding lasagna (5 stars) - Unique. Tasted sweet. -tuna special of the day (4 stars) - we liked the vegetable pairing. It was nicely cooked but it had a bit of fishy taste. We thought the grilled tuna we had in this afternoon was better. -pheasant pate with truffle (5 stars) - I couldn't taste the truffle but the pairing with this sweet sauce makes it a bit unique. This dish includes a generous portion of crostini. Overall, pricing was reasonable for the quality of food and the portions were also generous.

Man, I am super torn about La Botillería. Everything I ordered was amazing. Everything my fiancee ordered was hot garbage. Going in, you should know these are NOT tapas. Everything is a pretty big portion. We ordered too much food. For me, the white jamon was p.h.e.n.o.m.e.n.a.l. A half-portion was 7 €. It came with bread drizzled in olive oil. Heavenly. I also had the skewered chicken (10.50 €) with mushrooms and cheese sauce. Simply mind-blowing. Every chunk of chicken was juicy and flavorful. I loved it. It came with grilled green peppers and red onions and some awesome french fries. My fiancee struck out hard, though. She tried the battered artichokes (9.90 €) and they were basically inedible. They tasted like nothing except the breading. She also ordered the chicken fingers with mustard sauce (9.90 €) Again, the most flavorless nightmare that has ever been thrust upon chicken. She also tried the cheese balls (1.75 € each, minimum of two.) and they were fried, battered, flavorless disasters. They tasted like cotton balls. All three of my fiancee's terrible dishes came off the "hot starters" menu, so I guess you should avoid that like the plague. Our waiter was not good. We asked for second glasses of wine that never game until we reminded him again ten minutes later. He also dropped a wrong plate of food in front of us - one that contained baby eels (vomit). I almost tasted one, thinking they were noodles, but he luckily recognized the error before I bit into one. If you ordered what I did, you would think La Botillería can do no wrong. If you order what my fiancee did, you would think La Botillería was conceived in a laboratory to make humans hate what they put in their mouths. Bizarre.

The free tapas were so delicious at La Botilleria that we had to stay for a second drink to see what would come out of the kitchen next! La Botilleria is owned by the same owners at La Tana so if you like La Tana you will love La Botilleria! La Botilleria is a much larger bar so they offer more seating and a larger selection of hot and cold tapas. My sister and I ordered a glass of red Spanish wine from the Rioja region and my husband ordered a glass of Cruzcampo Cerveza, a local Spanish beer from Sevilla. After our drinks were poured a waiter served us the traditional plate of free tapas. Our first tapas were a dish of olives and a plate of mini burger sliders and papas fritas. The food was so good that we decided to order another drink as well as plate of the Iberian jamon. Our second serving of free tapas was a bowl of delicious paella. The food and wine were so good and the staff was so friendly at La Botilleria. Our bartender didn't speak English, but she was very patient with my failed attempt to speak Spanish. "Un vino más, por favor!"

The best meal we had in Spain, and we just came from Madrid! Had croquettes, prawn risotto, eggs with foie gras, and Milhojas de presa ibérica. We all agreed it was the best risotto and best meat we've EVER had. They brought chicken and bread (as well as the best olives ever) to start. Lattes were also delicious! Super cute ambiance, worth the money, central location.

It was a solid place for dinner with good food. It had an enjoyable ambiance. I consider it casual fine dining. There was also plenty of space for our group of 8. We ordered drinks. Since it was Granada, we got a complimentary appetizer which was a tuna dish. It was awesome. As an additional appetizer, I ordered a Castellana soup. It is a garlicky chicken soup with a dash of sweet paprika, ham, egg, and croutons. In my opinion, it was probably a little hit or miss based on your personal tastes. For me, it was not bad but not great either. For my entrée, I ordered a steak. It was solid. The meat was chewy and tender. On the other hand, I asked for medium rare. Some parts were medium but most of it was medium rare. Overall, it was a good steak. Others in our group ordered the salmon salad. I tried a little. It was more like a salmon tartare stack with avocado. The presentation was exceptional. The fish was fresh but a bit salty.

Had a very good dinner in a bustling section of Grenada. We arrived somewhat early (around 8) because we had a night tour scheduled for the Alhambra so at first it wasn't all that crowded but by 8:30 or so it really picked up. We ordered wine and free tapas for 2 quickly followed ( puréed potato and salt cod - very good). We split the ham & cheese croquets which were very tasty. The Milhojas De Presa was a delicious combination of roasted and cured iberico ham stacked with an avocado purée. The Head on Shrimp was the fish special and was also very good. A small free glass of dessert wine followed the meal The bill came to around $65 US. The restaurant & tour were well worth the visit.

This place has got some food game. We popped in just after the kitchen had closed when we arrived in Granada, so we ordered a cava and true to Granada tradition a tapa magically appeared, but not your standard meat slice on bread. It was a delicious paella like dish with clams and it was a generous portion. The place is lively and filled with locals. We decided to return for lunch today and oh My Gosh. Hubs ordered a beer and sure enough, here comes the tapa, four perfectly grilled pieces of chicken on a swipe of garlicky aoli and crusty bread. So good. Our waiter (hello beautiful Spanish guy) recommended the croquettes and the Milhoja de Presa Iberica. The croquettes were exceptional. Light, crispy, creamy on the inside with a mixed salad drizzled with the sweetest balsamic. The Presa was beautiful and an amazing blend of flavors. So well crafted, complex and delicious. Perfectly grilled pork, with melt in your mouth jamon and a silky avocado cream. We also ordered the seasonal tomatoes drizzled in spicy Spanish olive oil. So fresh, so good. Dying right now. Put this on your list....the food is incredible, the beers are frosty, the cava effervescent and the staff top notch.

As soon as we arrived at our hotel in Granada, the very amiable and helpful front-desk guy recommended several upscale restaurants for us. It was only after we jumped on the Internet and confirmed that they had great reputations that we also realized that just about all of them were closed on Sunday and Monday, which were the only two full days we'd be in Granada. Dang. Consumed by sightseeing and getting our bearings on our first day, we ended up eating some mediocre meals. Dang again. But then we found out about La Botilleria, which is only slightly off the tourist-beaten path and which presented us with one of our least touristy and most delicious food experiences during ten or so days in Spain. The restaurant's aims are pretty straightforward: Delivering an upscale but relaxed dining experience to a rather upscale but relaxed crowd. We never made it inside, grabbing the last available two-top we saw out front on the narrow, shaded Calle Varela. That was a great spot on a balmy day to do some lunchtime people-watching in this rather gentrified residential neighborhood. Given its name, La Botilleria not surprisingly specializes in Spanish wine. Before this, we'd had quite a few glasses of service-able and absurdly inexpensive stuff (sub-two euros), but for just a euro or euro-and-a-half more, La Botilleria very noticeably steps up the quality. I'm more or less a wine dolt--beer & whiskey are more my thing--but I could get used to this in a hurry. Tapas--including a perfect little plate of paella and the richest-tasting olives we'd have the whole trip--were delivered with our drinks by our friendly server. (Service was excellent throughout the meal.) Best thing about this meal was the charcuterie plate, the embutidos, which a selection of four different cured meats. In the prior days, we'd had some jamon that was quite good, but, given Spain's reputation for its cured meats, was slightly underwhelming. La Botilleria's was not: This charcuterie was some of the best we'd ever had: Rich, unctuous (a world I dislike as a food descriptive, but applicable here), and wonderfully balancing huge flavors. Approaching decadence, actually. Entrees were very solid, too: The wife ordered this salmon salad that was served in a beautiful giant stack. A huge amount of fish at 10 euro. (She loved it; her only complaint was that it was doused with just a bit too much olive oil.) I ended up with a massive pork knuckle (codillo de cerdo asado), which was excellent but, given the level of salt and fat, maybe too much of a good thing. All-in-all, not perfect, but a really great experience and value--the epitome of what you look for in leisurely, reasonably priced higher-end dining in Europe.

Great place, great food! Went with friends as a casual Wednesday night dinner, and we all really enjoyed the food. Recommend!

La Botilleria is a fine restaurant in an old section of Granada where there are many restaurants (forgot the name of this barrio). We went there twice, mainly because they had a number of great sounding salads. One time the food was great and the service the same. The second time the food was great and the service so so. I am fluent in Spanish so this wasn't an "ugly American" response. Definitely recommended.

Very attractive bar, quite upscale, on a nice side street. The crowd is well-heeled and not overly kinetic. The bar is quite nice, and the bartenders are great guys. I have already eaten dinner, so I ordered a Pedro Ximenez reserve sherry. It is only €2.50 here and includes some wonderful tapas. My first tapa was a slider, I think of pork, that was quite delicious and came with 4-5 excellent papas fritas. The second was an egg with bacalao and a lovely saffron sauce. Two sherries and all that came to under €5. I guess the second drink was discounted? A great place. Try it!

Simply amazing. Delicious food, very attentive staff, but not annoying. We had their pre fixed menu and it was a lot of food for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!!!!!

Loved this place! We ate here for dinner and it was delicious. I got the shrimp risotto and there were a ton of shrimp and the flavor was just amazing I ate every last bite 5/5 stars!!! It was rich just as any risotto is but the flavor was perfect and worth it! I love that if you get drinks they also give you tapas probably one of my new favorite parts about Granada! My grandma ordered the grilled chicken with vegetables and it was also delicious I would highly recommend giving it a try!!!

Excellent choice for dinner with good friends. The food was fabulous, the drinks also. Outstanding staff and wonderful atmosphere! Very enjoyable!

This was a wonderful find in Granada. It is a bit more upmarket than others in the neighborhood but the service and the quality of the food were superb. The waiter was friendly & welcoming and recommended & explained some items from the menu which were all very tasty: artichoke special to start followed by Iberian pork in mustard sauce (melt in the mouth gorgeous) and beef steak cooked as requested. All washed down with a good bottle of rioja from a reasonable wine menu. A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours!

It turns out that none of the tapas place we tried in Granada, Barcelona and Madrid is as excellent as this one! Great place to have tapas! We came here at 2pm and had a great time there. Each one of us spent 10 euros per person and had really elegant and high level food. We came from China and live in the States. None of us knew that tapas don't have a menu before we came here. Restaurants in Barcelona usually offer menu for tapas. But here, we had much more fun without a menu and simply trusted the chef. It's an incredible experience. A must go!

Although we were hoping for something more casual for lunch, La Botilleria was open reasonably early and met our needs. I had the habas con jamon, and my wife had a beautifully presented salad. My fava beans had an egg on them, and they were ringed by cured ham, which brought the sodium level a bit high. But I was glad to try it. There's no English menu. My tinto de verono came with a tapas plate.

A bit pricey compared to other restaurants in the area but totally worth it!! The menu was in spanish(they don't have it in any other language) so I just asked the waitress for recommendations recommendations. The oxtail and Granada red wine that I had were both amazing!! The FREE appetizer that came with the wine was also very very good. Try this restaurant you won't regret it

Easily the best tapas I've had in Spain after starting in Madrid and heading to Granada. I ordered a tea and a wine (I think it was chinchilla 6+6?) And my boyfriend ordered 2 beers. We were served jamon blanco, jamon iberico, and chicken curry with French fries. It was delicious!! We sat outside on a pleasant November day. We could watch the people, cars, bikers, children, and even the restaurant across the way making fresh pasta. Prices were reasonable and service was friendly. They also accept credit cards.
