Tuétano
A charcoal grill listed in the Michelin Guide in consecutive years, with Roman ruins visible through its glass floor and a rooftop bar upstairs.
Tuétano is just a few steps from the Alcazaba. Through the glass floor you can see Roman ruins. It was listed in the Michelin Guide from 2023 to 2025 and is on the 2026 list too. Chef Nico Vázquez grills selected meats over holm oak charcoal. Signature dishes include charcoal-grilled beef ribeye, charcoal-grilled octopus, tuna tataki and croquettes, along with a house-made cured meat platter. There are two tasting menus, of four and eight courses, and the eight-course menu can be paired with wine. The rooftop bar upstairs is a good place for a drink. Closed Monday and Tuesday. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Roman theatre.
