After reading all the positive reviews, we decided to try Puratapa on a Saturday evening. They do…read morenot take reservations and some outside tables were already full at 7:45pm, waiting for them to open. We really wanted a seat inside, so that was fine. The menu are chalkboards on two walls. They are only in Spanish language. The atmosphere is hectic. My boyfriend and I ordered 6 different tapas and a sparkling water and 0,0 beer. Olives and a bread basket were immediately placed on the table. They had 6 waiters who provide attentive service. We watched plate after plate being served outside. Finally, my Hamburguesa Ternera arrived. Then my Hummus Tapenade arrived and shortly after that, my Pate de Ave. I had finished and was sitting a good 20 minutes before my boyfriend received his first plate,Tataki Atun. Pretty much all the people seated outside, even those who came after us, had finished their plates by now. Another 15 minutes passed before by boyfriend received his Bikini de Rambo and Bikini Bacalao at the same time. It was obvious the kitchen could not handle the Saturday dining crowd. They were making one type of tapa at a time to fill all orders for them. My Pate was good. I have had better hummus at a neighboring restaurant. My boyfriend's Bikini Bacalao was supposed to have guacamole. The sandwich was somewhat tasteless. When he removed the bread, there was none to be seen. He asked the waiter where the guacamole was. The waiter looked and pointed to a tiny unseen fleck on the bread and said that was the guacamole. The check was 33€ which included a 1€ fee for cutlery and 10% IVA. I don't see how this is considered the top tapas restaurant in the vicinity. We have had better experiences elsewhere.

Vegan , vegetarian or not, you will love this place!…read more Apart from the positive vibes, beautiful patio, friendly and efficient service(look, listen and learn Spanish hospitality industry), every dish here is a piece of art! The ingredients are quite fresh and of high quality. Cooking and presentation are just beyond perfection, not to mention it is balanced and nutritious. In terms of cooking style, for some reason i sense an Italian/Lebanese influence. They also have a wide selection of Teas/ beers and wines. So there is something for everybody!

Barbate is not on the beaten path. You have to be very intentional to get there. Chances are, if…read moreyou DO go to Barbate, it is to eat their amazing tuna. And if that truly is your goal, why not go to the restaurant that is associated with their Fishermen's Club? Inside, the restaurant is more like a taverna... a bar just inside the door, well-worn furniture and lots of photos on the walls. But remember why you came... for the tuna. Focus... The Tartar de Atún Rojo is just spectacular. The portion is generous (a good thing, too, as my wife kept swooping in for 'just another taste.' The MIni-Ensaladas were a wonderful complement to the tuna, and my wife's Plato Ventresca (tuna belly with red sauce) had the most wonderful flavor! Really, if I lived in the province of Cádiz, I would do an homage to the tuna they serve here. PS: For dessert, get the "Tocino del Cielo." No, it isn't bacon. Just one will suffice for two!

Ah, I loved this little cafe in Tarifa. The owner was sweet and welcoming, the cafe con leche was…read moregreat and the warm, freshly made croissant naturale was amazing. Now, don't get too high expectations. This is a very simple and small cafe. But if I stayed in Tarifa for a while I would go here often. A big plus for clean bathroom with both paper, paper towels and soap (I miss that at far to many places in this area).

It was a rainy, windy and dreary day and we needed lunch. Saw that this place was recommended by…read moreRick Steves so we stopped in. We sat outside since their patio was enclosed in plastic. Service was prompt and friendly even to us non-Spanish speakers. I stepped out and tried something different - the grilled octopus. It was very good - it actually had a buttery flavor and was just a bit chewy. I could tell they grilled this with a fair amount of salt but that really helped. The potatoes that accompanied it were good. My wife got the tuna salad or should I say a lot of tuna with a little salad. It was tasty and a surprising amount of tuna. Prices were reasonable.

Had a…read moredelicious cup of coffee and was not planning on ordering food but they have these sandwiches on the menu that sounded delicious. I ordered one that had ham, walnuts, cream cheese and apples and it was very delicious. It was presented beautifully and for the price could not be beaten. Will have to go back and try some of their crepes as well. Tl;dr nice and cozy great for price.
