Damasqueros

The name of this delightful contemporary restaurant refers to the artists who create traditional Arab Damascene jewelry through a delicate fusing of gold and steel. It’s a fitting metaphor for Chef Lola Marín’s cooking, which marries traditional Granadan dishes with modern techniques, presenting them with artistry and wit. A six-course tasting menu based on market ingredients is the sole offering, with or without paired wines. North African flavors abound in tiny dishes like Motril shrimp with chickpeas and lime, and salt cold with orange and couscous. A course of cheeses from the Granada region is optional, but advisable.
