| Paladar - by Michelle from United Kingdom - 2007-10-29 | | Located in the heart of Granada (19 Martinez Campos, 958-086-012), this fairly new restaurant offers traditional Spanish cuisine with international flair. The food is beautifully cooked and very well presented, and though it costs slightly more than your typical 'menu del dia', the quality is of a much higher degree (e.g. the food is tastefully presented, the tablecloths are real and the bathrooms are clean). There is an English-speaking hostess, who is also a chef, and happy to explain the menu to travelers. I found the 'sopa de chocolate' an especially lovely dessert. Even if you don't go there for a meal, do stop by for a drink, as they are also known for their tapas. |
