Where to eat in Medina Sidonia

1. Restaurante El Duque – Tradition and Quality

This restaurant is our top recommendation for a very simple reason: it’s our favorite. Specializing in local meats, El Duque offers an authentic regional dining experience without needing to drive. The space is large, so there’s almost always a table available, even without a reservation.

During the week, they also offer a small tapas menu for lunch. The quality of the dishes and the service are excellent, making it a safe bet for anyone.

📍 Location: This might be the restaurant’s only downside—it’s not in the busiest area. Still, it’s just a 10-minute walk from our apartments. They also have a large parking area if you prefer to drive.

2. El Show Tapas – Fusion Tapas with Beautiful Views

Looking for something more casual? Then try El Show Tapas, located right in front of the famous Arco de la Pastora. This bar also has a terrace with views of the arch and the old city wall. It’s the best option if the weather is nice or for summer evenings.

Their menu features fusion tapas with a wide variety of flavors, and the value for money is also excellent.

📍 Location: Very central, just a 2-minute walk from our apartments. However, if you're traveling with small children, the next option might be more suitable (cars do pass along this street).

3. Bar Delocos – Local Tapas and Central Location

This bar opened recently, but it has already won us over. Bar Delocos offers a wide variety of tapas—more traditional than those at El Show, but just as tasty and generously portioned.

Prices are very reasonable, though we recommend asking about the prices of off-menu items, as they can be a bit higher. Still, it’s an excellent choice to enjoy local cuisine with great value.

📍 Location: On a pedestrian street, also just a 2-minute walk from our apartments. This street and the nearby Plaza de España are pedestrian zones, ideal if you're traveling with children.
