Description:
This restaurant, a short walk from the cathedral, is named for the huge amphorae depicted on its facade. For more than 3 decades it has been the culinary showcase of José Alvarez. The decor is classical Andalusian, with wood walls adorned with ceramic tiles and pictures of Old Granada. Diners are surrounded by antique ornaments interspersed with modern elements and fixtures. There's a convivial but crowded bar where both locals and visitors order Andalusian wines and a wide variety of delicious tapas. The chef's direct style of cooking emphasizes fresh ingredients and local recipes. Try the sirloin steak with mushrooms and Jabugo ham in sherry sauce or loin of lamb stuffed with an assortment of nuts and a hint of mint. Sea bass comes stuffed with prawns. The best starters are the artichoke hearts stuffed with broad beans and crispy ham if featured.
