Puerta Grande

Andalusian cuisine and rice dishes · Calle Nueva

Must try

Mixed paella (one diner ranks it among the best they have had, July 2026), oxtail, octopus, Caesar salad prepared at the table, goat's cheese with figs and ham, and tinto de verano (red wine with lemon soda) with lemon foam.

About

Family restaurant with tables in a cool alley. One of the few on the touristy Calle Nueva that comes out very well in reviews.

Good to know

Call to book if you are going at lunchtime (no online booking). They treat you to a shot at the end (July 2026).

Getting there and parking

Pedestrian street: park at the Martínez Astein car park (Av. Martínez Astein s/n, 24 h, €1.70/h) and walk to Plaza de España.
