Cantina La Estación

Bib Gourmand€€Contemporary

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).

Cibus

€€€Contemporary

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.

Located in central Úbeda, Cibus offers contemporary cuisine with a focus on high-quality ingredients, particularly extra virgin olive oil. Reviews frequently praise the food's preparation, presentation, and the attentive service provided by the staff. The intimate, minimalist space is often highlighted for its charm. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent meal pacing and significant heating issues in the basement area, causing discomfort. Some guests also criticized portion sizes, high prices relative to value, and specific dish textures. While many describe it as an unforgettable sensory experience, others found the cold environment and service lapses disappointing.

Suitable for diners seeking refined creative cuisine who can tolerate small spaces and potential temperature variations.
