Situated just in front of the Cathedral this restaurant with a large outdoors terrace is a bit of a tourist trap that sells average food at a higher than average price knowing that due to it's location it will always be full of tourists.

During Carnival I ended up here with my sister and her friend who were visiting. We couldn't actually get to other restaurants as the streets were full so we settled for this place as it was still open after many other places stop serving lunch. It was chilly so we sat inside. Maybe if you sit outside beneath the magnificent Cathedral it is worth it, but inside it is reminiscent of a school canteen. Well maybe I'm being harsh but it certainly isn't beautiful or charming.

Favorite Dish: I had the pork skewer which is featured in the photo. It was one of the cheapest things on the menu at 12 euros or 12.50 euros. It was Ok, but I know you can eat better for less in Cadiz. What my dining companions had didn't really match quality and cost either. I felt I wasted money on a mediocre meal.

Address: Plaza de la Catedral
Comparison: more expensive than average
