1. Biloba

Restaurant of modern kitchen with dishes from different cultures ranging from the traditional salmorejo to a Mombai style lasagna. It is one of the relatively new bets in Granada and we love to go there.

The menu tends to change, but we recommend, for example, to try their croquettes and crunchy on the outside, its shiitake mushrooms on potato parmentier and truffle, or its salmon teriyaki baked. A duck cannelloni that was spectacular has just been taken off the menu, but if you ever go and see it again, we recommend it 100%.

As for desserts, we recommend to those with a sweet tooth the chocolate bell a hearty dessert made of a sphere of white chocolate that they break by pouring hot chocolate on top, brutal.

The average price is 25/pp if you order individual dishes, rising close to 30€ if you order any of the grilled meats they have.

2. Aparicio's

We discovered this restaurant thanks to its fork discount and since then it has become one of our favorites must-do's for a good meal in Granada. They have a balanced cuisine between the traditional and the most innovative techniques, so you can go to eat from a seafood paella that they make very good to some eggplant meatballs or some gnoccis. One thing to note is that it is an excellent choice for celiac people because they have gluten-free options for almost all the dishes on the menu.

We recommend the broken eggs with ribs The duck magret or the pork tenderloin with potato millefeuille. Those are some of our favorites, but all the food is very good in this restaurant. The average price is around 20€ pp.
