Restaurante La Cuchara de San Lorenzo

Lovely decorated place with modern takes on Spanish classics. Any place can have a bad day. Our visit was somewhat dampened by our main waitress who tolerated my faulty Spanish which seemed to have made her day worse indeed. I would recommend that the restaurant gives its dishes corresponding numbers for the staff to navigate between the Spanish and the English version of the menu as we ended up with not just 1 of 4 starters wrong but 2 of 4 main courses wrong. Clearly futile to make an issue, so we didn't and the dishes themselves were ok. She left the table without checking if we wanted to order wine or additional water which is not what I would consider hospitable. The guy who was serving the wine was genuinely friendly and the waitress with glasses was helpful as well which was much appreciated.

This cozy restaurant offers traditional Spanish specialties with a modern twist where fresh seasonal ingredients offer original and tasty gastro experiences. We tried the Cod Brioche, The Salmorejo and a wonderful Leek with Ibérico Ham and Sea Scallops which was magnificent. Make sure you leave space for the amazing Creme Brûlée. The waitstaff were professional and helpful. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal at La Cuchara. Excellent service and some great cava and wine recommendations. The “Coca” foie and artichoke dishes were standout but everything was really great!

We were recommended this place after our first choice was closed. We didn’t have reservations but luckily got seated right when they opened! We totally lucked out. One of the best meals I have had in Spain! The steak was amazing. So perfectly rare with the large salt flakes on top! We still talk about how delicious the dishes were!!

Warm welcome, perfect Organisation of service. Welcome local dry wine for every table. Menu and wines in Spanish and English online. Great wine selection with fair prices. All dishes were excellent. Big portions and nice presented. It was a pity we were only two. For larger groups I recommend to order different starters and first courses to share, which is common here. Tartare and sirloin from old cows were vera aromatic and tasty. Usually we need salt and pepper, but here, everything was perfect spiced and arranged. The bred is a sin with olive oil! We even bought a bottle of red to take with us and they packed rest of the great almond soup, Mazamorra Cordobese, to take home . Thank you! We will come back

the last night of my trip to Cordoba. This is the best restaurant I visited in these 3 days. The service is at an excellent level. All dishes have an excellent taste, fresh, many details and excellent preparation technique. This is the golden spoon of Cordoba. 🙂 (la cuchara=spoon)

This place was great! Very affordable and inviting Michelin star restaurant. They offer the best versions on traditional Spanish dishes that all tourist want to try and the locals want to come back for. They include fresh bread with amazing olive oil, fresh herby olives, and a taste of some local wine with your meal! My date and I had the patatas bravas, which had so much flavor we were stunned. The presentation of the patatas was one of the most stunning presentations I’ve seen. The sardine toast was also delicious; the sardine itself was meaty and fresh. The steak croquetas were amazing as well! They don’t skimp on the aioli on the side, which may sound small but makes a big difference. The iberian pork gyozas were the least favorite dish of the night, but it was still yummy. Very sweet and rich. Overall, a stunning meal in a cozy welcoming environment.

Unfortunately had a terrible experience, despite all the positive reviews. Food was not edible - we ordered the bocadillo fish which was salty and chewy on a bed of over cooked gnocchi. The black rice was okay. We were served bread that we did not ask for, assuming it was complimentary, and then charged for it. Wait staff did not seem particularly interested in asking us why we did not touch our food. Paid 50€ for two entrees and a water and left hungry. Presentation of food was very pretty, and the atmosphere was well decorated.
