Macsura Gastrotaberna
Cordoban-American chef Jhon Mcelyea, who trained with the Basque master Martín Beresategui, runs this stylish gastrobar on the dining strip near La Mezquita. The décor is airy and Arab-inspired, and a lengthy list offers artfully presented takes on Cordoban and Mediterranean classics. There are some interesting rice dishes beyond the standard paella, and the menú maridaje—a six-course tasting menu paired with modern Spanish wines—is great value at 45€. Mcelyea’s latest project, Macsura’s Heritage, occupies a handsomely restored stone building opposite, offering live music and lovely views of the cathedral bell tower.
