Bar Juanito
Locals might tell you they never dine at this Jerez classic just off Plaza de Arenal because it’s too expensive or too touristy, but every time we’ve visited lots of people were speaking Andalucian Spanish at its colorful patio tables. You might pay a small premium for the famous name, and the food is traditional and tasty rather than artful, but it’s worth it for the atmosphere honed since 1943. Crustaceans and Ibérico pork feature heavily, and don’t miss the signature alcachofas Juanito—braised artichoke hearts. Half portions (media raciones) are available.
