Downtown
La Carboná
Originally an old winery, at La Carboná, guests eat between old wine barrels and under wooden beams. Wines and sherries are at the center of the menu, which features meats and fish plates. Dishes are either designed to be paired with local wines, or are cooked with them as a type of sauce. Don’t leave without trying their excellent sherry pairing menu.
Tabanco San Pablo
A vibrant, traditional old wine bar, this place is just as much about its food as its bottles. Having first opened in 1934, this family run business serves one of the best tortilla de patatas (Spanish potato omelettes) in the province of Cádiz. It is said that the recipe was passed down by Doña Mari Carmen Nieves, known as ‘La Nena’, who used the same fork to make them for the last 20 years.
Albores
On a sunny day, it’s lovely to sit out on Albores‘ outdoor terrace, which is on one of Jerez’s pedestrian streets, and watch the world go by. Then there is also the added advantage of the all-day kitchen, which can be handy when you are visiting Jerez for the day and are subject to eating according to the times that your trains arrive and depart. The menu is extensive, with lots of varied choices—and being in Jerez, it goes without saying that there are local wines available by the glass!
Address: Calle Consistorio, 12
Las Banderillas
Don’t be intimidated by the locals spilling out the door at Las Banderillas. That’s just a sign that you’ve found a delicious tabanco, Jerez’s typical type of tapas bar. Sidle up to the bar—if you can—and order a 1€ glass of sherry as you contemplate the menu. Don’t over-order at the start. Instead, go tapa by tapa until you’ve had your fill. One of our favorites at Las Banderillas is the melt-in-your-mouth presa ibérico, a cut of meat from the shoulder region of the black Iberian pig, marbled with flavorful fat.
Address: Calle Caballeros, 12
La Cruz Blanca
If you’re wandering through the center of the city and wondering where to eat in Jerez, head to La Cruz Blanca! Located on a pedestrian street near the Plaza Arenal, La Cruz Blanca is in a lovely square ringed by tall trees. If the weather is nice, take advantage of their outdoor seating, but keep in mind that the terrace does fill up as it’s a spot that’s popular with locals! Don’t miss their rabo de toro.
Address: Calle Consistorio, 16
Albalá
If you’re hungry after a visit to the Royal Equestrian School, pop across the street to Albalá. Albalá made our list of where to eat in Jerez for their new takes on traditional tapas. The service is always spot-on and you’ll find that there’s no better way to end a meal here than with their cheesecake.
Address: Av. Duque de Abrantes, 1
