We were checking out the other tables and noted an older Spanish couple to one side the man gave me a thumbs up sign, and pointed to his meal. His wife told me it was the ratatouille. It smelled incredible. My husband got the menu and ordered the ratatouille for me and Iberico ham with assorted sheep cheeses for himself. Both were delicious the ratatouille was hot and so flavorful!! The ham that my husband got was, hands down, the best we had in Spain so far (through Madrid, Segovia, Toledo and now Cordoba) and the cheese was aged and tasty (although we had bread and crackers, neither were needed the ham and cheeses just melted in your mouth). More wine, a huge bottle of water and when he saw how we had cleaned our dishes, and big smile from the manager. All for what we normally pay for an entree only at home. I wish we had stopped in here earlier

This came to €17.10. Not the cheapest of meals, but given its touristy location it seemed fairly reasonable. The service was friendly and relaxed, the bar/restaurant is decorated with a number of bull-fighting and Flamenco posters in homage to local history. Definitely part of the Cordoba experience.
