Cantina La Estación
Although located slightly away from the historic centre, this authentic “cantina” full of surprises is well worth the journey! It features a simple tapas bar in the style of an old railway station, which leads to the dining room, the latter imitating the interior of an old train carriage. The couple in charge, Montserrat and Antonio José, focus on contemporary seasonal cuisine, with the intention of always enhancing what they offer with artisanal breads, a small selection of olive oils, an enticing tasting menu and at least one different stew every day (there are also off-menu suggestions). Th
WebsiteCibus
An unexpected surprise in the centre of Úbeda! The small restaurant, with an open kitchen by the entrance and a dining room with stone walls downstairs that dates back to the 16C, has a philosophy that it classifies as a "culinary renaissance”, which is showcased via dishes that are constantly evolving and change with every season. There’s no à la carte; instead, you’ll find two surprise tasting menus entitled Legado and Renacimiento (both are plant-based and come with a wine-pairing option). Extra virgin olive oil from Jaén is a constant presence in the dishes served here.
WebsiteVandelvira
If you’re visiting Baeza’s marvellous historic quarter, a Renaissance jewel that has been declared a World Heritage Site, eating in this restaurant will add an extra-special touch to the experience. Vandelvira occupies part of a 16C monastery with comfortable dining rooms and beautiful covered cloisters where guests can nowadays enjoy a glass of manzanilla sherry. The focus of owner-chef Juan Carlos García is on two tasting menus of creative cuisine, with a preference for humble ingredients from his own vegetable garden or the region, which he transforms into haute-cuisine dishes that showcase
WebsiteTaberna Canela en Rama
Located in the historic centre of Baeza, a stone’s throw from the Cathedral, this establishment stands out both for its terrace and for the fact that it dedicates itself to extolling the culture of informal tapas. Enjoy an updated traditional offering designed for sharing, with portions and half portions to make it easier to try more things, and they offer a free tapa with each drink!
Acebuche
Located inside the Puerta de la Luna hotel along one of the narrow cobbled streets of Baeza’s old quarter, this gastronomically focused modern restaurant has strong links with the world of olive oil, as highlighted in its name (“acebuche” is the Spanish name for a wild olive tree). The couple at the helm in the kitchen (he is from Brittany in France, his partner from Castellar, a small town nearby at the foot of the Sierra Morena), showcase their strong personal style here having previously worked in leading restaurants in France and Spain. Their cuisine is a fusion of sauces and techniques he
