Sanlucar de Barrameda

Posted by: lodolivod Posted on: 08/08/2017

Strangely enough, Sanlucar de Barrameda is not very well know by foreigners but very well known by Spanish people for the quality of its food and wine (Manzanilla). One of the reason for that is that they begun to developed infrastructure for tourism by 2000 while all the province (mainly Malaga coast)  already overbuilt all the coast. So Sanlucar is definitely a place to live well, and it begins by eating well and a very reasonable price !

To give you a shortcut, the following wikipedia article is interesting :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanlúcar_de_Barrameda

Our recommendations here after are where we go ourself at the moment of updating this page. It changes all the time because owners change, chefs change so quality change. We know much more bars and restaurants, at least we can tell you what you can expect for a place without having to read all the more or less true reviews that exist on it . So do not hesitate to ask us !

 

The lower city center around “La plaza del Cabildo”

La Plaza del Cabildo (where is the big fountain) is the main area of the pedestrian center and it is full of tapas bar and restaurants with so many options that one will fit you.

Casa Balbino

We like very much

  • la tortilla de camarones sort of fried pancakes with small shrips,
  • cazuela de gambas con ajo (small pan with shrimps and garlic),
  • pastel de atun (tuna fish cake)

and many other dishes you’ll see in the display or on the wall’s menu.  You can try as well a glass (or more) of Manzanilla en rama (Sanlucar dry local white wine directly from the barrel, It is named Fino in Jerez). You have to choose a waiter at the bar directly, ask for what you want and come back as many time as you want and pay after. You’ll see he will write it down on a paper or directly on the bar when it is not overcrowded. Unfortunately it is so famous for the tortilla de camarones within the entire province that during rush time you re really have to wait. But the good point is that quality don’t change all the year round

 

Other options  we like around Plaza del Cabildo

Taberna de la Gitana

La Barbiana

Trasiego (Plaza de la Victoria, on the right hand side of Plaza del cabildo) :

Good food and good value

Toni ( at the end of Plaza del Cabildo)

best non industrial ice cream experience you can have in Sanlúcar

Pizzeta & caffé (Left hand side of plaza del cabildo) :

to us the only good pizza in Sanlúcar

 

5 minutes away walking from la plaza del cabildo

 

Bar Ramirez ( best cured Iberic ham and other iberic sausage, chorizo)

Plaza de la Salle 5, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Tel: 956 363 10

It is really a local bar where the owner actually try and eat its products, nothing fancy, just delicious

 

La Lobera (our guests choice)

Av. del Cerro Falón, 32, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Tel: 956 38 91 47

It is a restaurant, slightly outside the center we know for ages, truly we did not put it in our recommendations initially but our guests suggest it to put it there ! It is true that what goes out of the kitchen is nicely prepared with taste. They work very well the tuna fish and the Retinto beef.

If you wish to buy fresh good products:

you can go to the impressive  fish market in la Calzada  from tuesday to saturday (you can park underneath la Calzada) it is a minute away of plaza del Cabildo. On Friday and Saturday prices go up 10% !

 

Hermanos Infante (Meat and prepared meals)

Calle de la Banda Playa, 82. Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Tel: 956 381 150

They have permanently iberic pork (try  Presa and Pluma two different parts) and Iberic ham (within the huge Bellota range as well), on demand and generally for the friday and saturday farm chicken (real one), and more interesting part of the Iberia porc (higado, solomillo …). They have as well some prepared cuisine acceptable, sorry it has never the same taste than what you do at home with love. (but you can try el salmojero, atún encebollado…)

 

Fish shop

Just on the side of the butcher Infante, you ll find a fish shop, they open usually in the morning and two hours in the afternoon (around 7/9 pm). You ll find it very small and with very few products, it is a good sign ! they have fish and shrimp when boats are getting back to the pier. Quantity limited here !

 

Vegetable shop

Sanlucar de barrameda, Chipiona, Bonanza, la colonia… are known as well for the quality of its local vegetable, People recommend  potatoes from la Colonia, clementine from chipiona …

In the city center you have many small vegetable shops that sell local product as well as the fresh market. Personally we go

  1. at the angle of calle Barba y Espinar and calle padre Cuevas
  2. Avenida Sevilla 5, in front of the Mercadona supermarket

 

Wine from the area:

For Manzanilla, and its family wines, the bests bodegas where to buy “transportable” Manzanilla (meaning sterilized, stable wine) are

 

Bodegas Argüeso.

Calle Mar, 8. Sanúcar de Barrameda, Tel. 647 76 59 87

Their best manzanilla are San Leon and La E

 

Bodegas Delgado Zuleta

Av. De Rocío Jurado s/n, Tel. 956 36 05 43

Their manzanilla is called La Goya

 

For red / white wine and gourmet products

 

Vilimar

Calle Mar, s/n. Local 4, Tel. 956 36 43 08

Otherwise for wine directly from the producer we have neighbors ! ask us

 

Barrio Alto

Sanlúcar de Barrameda has two centers, the other one is in the upper city (called Barrio Alto is smaller), it is 8 minutes away walking from Plaza del Cabildo. It is very much ignored by tourism, so enjoy it !

You ll see many wine factories, one of them can be visited : Barbadillo, We like the visit, not the wine!

http://barbadillo.com/en/wine-tourism-and-attractions/visit-barbadillo-winery

 

El Arquillo : best Fried fish, totally local (ask to have a little bit of tartar sauce)

Calle Jerez, 46, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda

El Conejo : traditional tapas and local dishes

calle jerez 14, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda

El Espejo

Calle Caballeros, 11, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz ; Tel : 651 14 16 50

elespejogastrobar.com

The restaurant in right in front of the city all and around bodegas. We like to have dinner there during summer time on the patio. They have a gastronomic menu a little bit marketing. More seriously the menu is composed of revisited cuisine of the area and well executed. Wine list is poor, what a pity!.

 

El Veranillo de Santa Ana

Calle Manuel Hermosilla, 2, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda ; Tel : 672 02 25 80

The restaurant is in between the city center and Bajo de Guia in a small street that leads to the beach. A year ago we recommended this restaurant for its different “rice …” that were really good. They now master and invent much more than that in a modern style cuisine. You can try the different form of tuna fish, slow cooked eggs ….   Definitely worth trying it

 

Bajo de Guía

 If you want to have dedicated fish restaurant you have to go 3 minutes away off the city center in the area called Bajo de Guia (along the beach and river). You can park there without any problem and then the area is pedestrian. The best time to be there is at sunset, because you are right in front of Doñana park and have the sunset on the river and the sea at the same time. Depending of the time of the year you might have some mosquitos.

Casa Bigote : Best ever

we prefer the bar outside (but they have a restaurant as well)

at the bar you can try

  • corvina en salsa tartara
  • hamburguesa de bacalao (very good for kids because it is not fishy, last time it was not on the menu, but it is a classic)
  • tataki de atun …

The very traditionals are as well

  • Gambas, langostinos (we do prefer a la plancha)
  • Almejas a la marinera

Have “manzanilla en rama” as well ! (The natural one). Bigote is THE REFERENCE, it maintains a very good value and the brothers have been working there for the past 30 years. It is not more expensive than the other, but they try to be always a little bit innovative (within an area where traditions don’t change at all) with the best product you can possibly find. If you want to have some space at the bar inside or outside come early

the other restaurants in Bajo de Guia where we go as well :

Poma

el Paco Secundino

Casa Juan

The only one where you can find a little bit of meat is : El Mirador de Doñana, First restaurant on the pedestrian street.

and at the end of this pedestrian street (Bajo de guia) (1 minute walking at the end) , you have 5 cocktails bar

Café Azul, is a good option where you have really a couple who make cocktails for the past 30 years, Ambiance is slightly older as well.

 

If you do not want to be in the crowd (but very close of Bajo de Guia)

La chucha : Fried fish for locals (3 minutes away by car from Bajo de guia)

Callejón de Guía, 8, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Tel: 627 13 02 74

To see the sunset Another option is the bar of the hotel Guadalquivir, exactly where you park in la Calzada. The bar is on the last floor and it is the highest building in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. They are specialized in Gin. The view is very nice, the hotel was the first one built in the 70 s

 

Bonanza (10 minutes away of the city center)

 If you want to be off track in Sanlúcar de Barrameda going to the direction of Bonanza, our favorites are

Taberna der Guerrita

It is still in Sanlúcar in an area deserted by tourism, close to la plaza de torros on the direction of Bonanza

Calle Rubiños 43, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Tel : 856 131 335

Aside of being a very good local restaurant, they do amazing wine degustation. As well you can buy their vermouth !

 

Avenida : Fish restaurant only for locals

Av de Huelva 112D, 11540 Bonanza, Tel 956 38 07 51

On Saturday, Sunday, you ll see pretty often entire family having lunch here. It is very good with amazing value.

 

Venta La Marisma (in front of the gas station)

Calle central 14, la Algaida, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda

You will find there different dishes like deer, wild pig, … and all the traditionals

 

Venta la Campana

Calle Puerto de Barrameda 69, 11540 Sanlúcar de Barrameda

You can try an interesting specialty : Duck rice, with a duck that taste a little bit fish, a real one hunted some days before (in season)
