Taberna La Montillana

Stepping into this historic tavern feels like an immersion into the authentic culinary soul of Córdoba. Located on Calle San Álvaro, the space bridges the gap between a traditional tavern and a refined contemporary kitchen. The menu is a masterclass in regional identity, celebrating the province’s renowned Montilla-Moriles wines alongside elevated classics like *salmorejo* and crispy *berenjenas* with honey.

Service is brisk, knowledgeable, and distinctly Andalucían. Be sure to book a table in advance, as its reputation among residents ensures a full house most evenings. For a genuine taste of Cordoban tradition executed with modern precision, this remains an uncompromising choice.
