祖母之家

Located in a residential district of the city where the chef at the helm, Dani Muñoz, conjures up contemporary cuisine with hints of creativity that is usually centred around seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The à la carte, which starts with a section dedicated to informal tapas-style small plates, includes enticing options such as “Joselito” Iberian pork sashimi, red mullet, and glazed Iberian ribs.

Through the mantra ‘A love for cooking’, an expression that encapsulates Ginés Peregrín’s vocation since his childhood, this chef conjures up Mediterranean-based cuisine that showcases his personality by incorporating influences from other cultures (Japan, Mexico, Peru, as well as the Netherlands, where he worked for several years). Everything revolves around a surprise tasting menu, with the option of careful wine pairings to elevate the experience, where you will find novel dishes like the Risotto-style gurullos with wild mushrooms and red prawns from the coast of Almeria.

Somewhat tucked away in one of the narrow alleyways that dissect the heart of Almería’s old quarter, this restaurant has give a new lease of life to a former “asador”-style eatery. In spacious dining rooms that, despite being renovated, maintain the essence of Castille (one features a beautiful mural depicting a large black and white octopus!), the emphasis is on updated traditional cuisine that has moved away from a complete focus on meat to centre its menu on daily sourced fish and seafood that can be savoured fresh from the grill.

Found next to the Plaza Vieja, where the Town Hall and the Monument to the Martyrs of Liberty (Pingurucho de Los Coloraos) are located. This contemporary restaurant offers simple but honest and well-prepared cuisine, with a good selection of starters in the form of pinchos (such as the foie gras, goat's cheese and caramelised apple bar), options for sharing and more substantial fish and meat dishes (among the latter, the 60-day matured Friesian steaks are particularly noteworthy).
