Mirador de Morayma

4 star for the food but 1 for the services.
For a fancy restaurant to attains with a reservation service is –1 .
They forgot our order, later on everything and gave a large bill to us which belonged to someone else.
When u go to a an expensive place like this with your partner you expect the best.
Lamb roast was yummy but the service was so disappointing.

Vistas espectaculares, ambiente muy verde y natural
Servicio muy atento y simpáticos (con carácter andaluz)
Comida riquísima y en abundancia
Los postres espectaculares, además sirven el té en tetera típica, como mandas los cánones
Para repetir

Wonderful property with a great view of Alhambra. Our party of 4 shared the tomato appetizer, salmon, asparagus, roasted veggies with goat cheese, the pork, and for dessert the lemon sorbet. Best meal of the trip by far– everything cooked to perfection. Excellent service although I should note we dine early. Definitely recommended and would dine hear again.

Wenn man die gefühlten 1000 Stufen zu diesem Restaurant erklommen hat (keuch), gelangt man durch einen wunderschönen Garten in die Räumlichkeiten mit Blick auf die Alhambra, die nachts sehr stimmungsvoll beleuchtet ist.
Ich war dort im November 2014 im Rahmen einer Firmenreise und völlig überwältig von einem weiteren Highlight der spanischen (Tapas-​) Esskultur. Alle Speisen schmeckten ausgezeichnet, der Wein war Klasse, und zum krönenden Abschluss gönnten wir uns noch einen Carlos Primero, der stilvoll angewärmt daher kam.
Dieser Bericht war nicht sehr ausführlich, aber eins kann ich sagen: das Lokal ist absolut empfehlenswert. Man kann es übrigens auch von der anderen Seite mit dem Taxi erreichen :-)…

Mirador, not so much so really as other options in the neighborhood actually beat the views. What this place has is a cult following BIG TIME and you can expect that it is filled to the rim by 9 pm on a weekend night!
Done use Trip Advisor for booking as the restaurant doesn’t get the info and you’ll be turned away — book direct.

Abgesehen von der Aussicht, Atmosphäre und wunderbarer Garten, seh sehr feines Essen und Wein! Empfehle Iberian Pork und den Haus Rioja, die Thunfischportion ist sehr klein.

fabulous experience! the location, view of Alhambra, service, presentation, food… all perfect! so charming. would easily be a very pricy meal in san Francisco. would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a wonderful, romantic dining experience.

Great food. Very nice atmosphere and breathtaking view. The monkfish was delicious and pork shoulder was very good. Also, the waiter barely spoke English which brought a nice touch to ambiance, while he knew enough to assist us with choosing and placing the order. It is a good idea to make a reservation.

The food here is exquisite, arguably closer to five star than four as everyone else seems to agree. The quantity is startling, given my usual expectations for higher-​priced dining establishments– there is absolutely no need to order full-​sized appetizers, the half-​size ones are plenty, I assure you.
The bread alone is surprisingly good, accompanied by some cracked olives and a fresh cheese spread with [herbs I think?] things mixed in. For share-​around-​the-​table appetizers, we ordered sheep cheese with piquillo pepper jam, goat cheese with quince jam, some sort of creamy eggplant soup [more of a dip consistency], morcilla, smoked sturgeon, and bull’s tail croquettes, all of which were obscenely delicious in ways I urge you to discover yourself. For entrees [we’d had a lot of food already for four] we shared a deceptively simply-​named bacon-​wraped chicken [with honey-​mustard sauce and splendid guacamole] and a dish of pork shoulder [boneless, perfectly cooked] with figs and leeks.
Sweets may follow the size rule for the appetizer– the half assortment of desserts named for the restaurant was perfectly normal dessert-​sized cheesecakeish things, fig compote with anise, tiramisu and so on [seven things in all]. The lemon sorbet turned out to be an exceptional lemon-​mint granita, serve in a champagne flute, the tiny piononos [a Grenadine tradition, per the waiter] were delicious and good if you want something small and the leche frita turned out to be a massive bowl of coffee-​flavored creamy custard and two heavy slabs of milk custard that had indeed been deep fried then coated in cinnamon sugar. All in all, we were utterly blown away by the food, even the one of our number who is… shall we say… not adventurous.
And yet. I wonder, my whole table wonders, if we went on a bad night. The restaurant was recommended by the owner of our apartment and obviously is highly reviewed by visiting Unilocalers as well, but there was some yelling in the kitchen tonight and the service… hmm. I acknowledge in advance that it is common to take a leisurely meal in Spain, and the because they are not dependent on tips to make a living, it is not the job of European waitstaff to try to sell diners extra thisses and thatses in the hopes of improving the experience and improving the total from which their tip is calculated. I even appreciate not being rushed from my table the moment I set down my fork. However.
We had to ask for sangria twice before it was delivered. Water twice. More sangria only once, but there was a lot of glass-​juggling since they’d cleared the water glasses before bringing the pitcher and then… and so on. The asked-​for and promised wine menu never came [disappointing, the selection is supposed to be good]. The harried waiter who brought our desserts [not remotely at the same time for everyone] didn’t realize until after we’d asked for the check and he was walking –away– that I’d ordered coffee [I barely managed it to begin with, and two of my tablemates didn’t get to order coffee at all, every time we ordered the waitstaff tore away from the table as if on fire] and it was conspicuously absent [I’d given up expecting it, and rather wish he hadn’t finally brought it, the ‘cappuccino’ tasted like the dregs from a percolator that they’d dribbled a tiny bit of steamed milk into– I hadn’t realized I could get bad espresso in Europe]. We all but had to wave our arms at the waitstaff just to get noticed to ask for things to begin with, and I don’t feel that’s a good way to do business. The service was, overall, at best a two and a half, and the four-​star rating [I strongly considered three] is carried Entirely by the food itself.
I also spent a lengthy portion of dinner on the chilly side because they’ve positioned mist-​sprayers in the bushes and the trees [some of which are aimed directly at or directly over diners] and the result is both damp and cold, which makes me grumpy.
Despite the service [and the misters], if I had the opportunity, I would go back, at least in part to see if the service is better on other nights and something simply went wrong. The food is some of the best I’ve had in Spain to date, and the location is unbeatable.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel host and it did not disappoint. The service was wonderful. They were especially kind to our year old daughter. The food was so delicious especially the chicken wrapped in bacon. The view of the Alhambra was perfect which made our first night in Granada so special. We would definitely go here again!

This was a truly excellent restaurant, with a lovely view of the Alhambra. It’s a bit hard to find, even by Albazin alleyway standards, but we had come by taxi after a nighttime visit to Alhambra, and our driver insisted on walking us from the driving road to the restaurant. That turned out to be good, because we had made a reservation at another restaurant thinking it was Mirador! I’m terrible at remembering food, and it was two months ago, but my wife and I recall it as the best food we had in five days in Andalucia.

I’m a bit surprised to see the only review of this place hitting 1 star. El Mirador de Morayma is fairly well placed for a sunset sight of the Alhambra (though admittedly you’ll have to get there a little early to get one of the two «best seats» for it. For an authentic market feel you could well travel down to the Albazin and Teterias there but there is still a reason this place appears on most guide books to Granada.
The food, though a little pricey is excellent. The Ensalada Salobre (essentially a mango salad) is one of the nicest dining experiences i’ve had in Spain. The service was excellent and despite being wildly under dressed for it (i would advise smart casual at the least) the staff didn’t turn away the shorts and sandals brigade.
No reservation was needed and as is the form with most Spanish restaurants bread and water remains free.
As a little treat and coming off season i can see no reason why El Mirador de Morayma wouldn’t be an enjoyable part of your holiday.

Amazing Andalusian cuisine with a few contemporary twists. Stunning view of the Alhambra across the Rio Darro. For dinner reservations, be sure to ask for a table on the patio overlooking the Alhambra, at least a month or two in advance! The salmorejo (Andalusian tomato soup, served at room temperature) is a must. Ask to see the jerez cellars downstairs.

This place falls into the category of restaurants in Europe located near popular tourist attractions. It’s the closest lookout to the best place to watch a sunset in Granada. It’s a tourist trap to be avoided at all costs. Go to the market and buy some bread, cheese, ham, and wine and have a little picnic. The lookout gets crowded in the summer.

Restaurante con vistas a la alhambra, terraza de verano y acogedor comedor de invierno. Servicio de calidad y comida de exquísito gusto.

Situado en un emplazamiento de lujo, como es el albaycin, con vistas a la alhambra, es para mí el restaurante más romántico que jamás me he encontrado. Está en un ‘Carmen’, que es como se llama a la construcción típica de el albaycin y cuenta con un amplísimo comedor y una gran terraza. Ambos tienen vistas a la alhambra, pero yo prefiero la terraza desde luego, asi que suelo llamar para reservar la mesa fuera. El servicio es muy bueno, con un trato agradable. El ambiente muy tranquilo y como ya he dicho romántico. Ideal para una cita, una fecha especial… en general para sorprender a tu pareja. Además no es un sitio excesivamente caro y la cocina que tienen es sublime.

Restaurante situado en Granada.
De cocina típica de Granada como por ejemplo choto albayzinero, pipirrana, platos de cordero y todo buenísimo, recién cocinado.
Disponen de amplia gama de vinos.
El servicio fue fantástico, amables y rápidos.
El precio es algo elevado pero vale la pena, todo está buenísimo.
Recomendable.
