Eating Out in Antequera
Eating Out in Antequera

First I want to thank my friends at Pollo y Ensalada for not only recommending every place we ate in Antequera, but also for joining me in a couple of meals, including the fabulous tasting menu at Arte de Cozina.

I should also point out that although only in Antequera for just over 48 hours I did manage to sample a wide range of tapas from the rustic to the sublime. So this is a quick guide to eating out in Antequera. For more detailed reviews (with more photos!) have a look on the Azahar Tapas Antequera page.

a la fuerza churros A La Fuerza is best known for serving a dynamite breakfast, including fabulous churros & chocolate and the famous molletes of Antequera. It also serves lunch and dinner, but the food we tried there other than breakfast was hit and miss.

Passion and tradition come together at Arte de Cozina. Traditional dishes, previously lost to time, have been rediscovered by owner and chef Charo Carmona, and have been lovingly recreated here. Excellent service in a beautiful rustic ambiance.
