Bodegas Mezquita

Originally a deli and wine store, Bodegas Mezquita has expanded its successful formula into a string of four bar restaurants around town. Most of its classic Cordoban dishes are offered in a choice of sizes, making it easy to order several to share. The lunchtime menu is great value at 20€, including sublime berejenas califales (eggplant fritters in a PX wine reduction) and meatballs (albondigas) flavored with almond and saffron. An excellent wine list emphasizes the Montilla-Moriles region. Try a glass of fity-fity, a 50/50 blend of dry fino and sweet PX.
