La cocina de Jerez es una cocina de sabores intensos, de guisos lentos y de producto fresco maridado a la perfección con sus vinos únicos. Desde el tapeo informal en el centro hasta los platos contundentes de sus ventas, comer en Jerez es una parte esencial del viaje.

In this guide, we take you on a route through our favorite places so you can enjoy yourself like a Jerez native, all just a step away the comfort of your apartment.

1. The Art of Tapas: Essential Bars

"Ir de tapas" is the local sport. It involves going from bar to bar, sampling small delicacies at the bar or at a high table. It's a social and fun way to eat.

Bar La Moderna

A true symbol of Jerez. Entering La Moderna is like standing still. Famous for its cured meats and cheese papelones, and especially for its montaditos. It's a must-visit spot to start any tapas tour. Don't expect luxury, expect pure authenticity.

Bar Las Banderillas

An absolute classic. Bustling, authentic, and always packed. Their sandwiches, especially the pringá sandwich or the garlic shrimp sandwich, are legendary. Order a cold beer or a fino sherry and enjoy the atmosphere.

La Cruz Blanca

Famous for its "papas aliñás" and high-quality fried fish, it has a very pleasant terrace in Plaza de la Yerba, perfect for feeling the pulse of the city.

2. For a leisurely meal: Charming restaurants

If you prefer a quieter, seated lunch or dinner, these restaurants are a safe bet.

Marisquería Momo

Marisquería Momo, located on Arcos Street in Jerez, is a neighborhood bar known for its fresh, high-quality produce.

It offers a family-friendly and authentic atmosphere, ideal for enjoying traditional seafood cuisine.

Dining inside one of Jerez's most iconic wineries is a unique experience. Tapería Fundador offers modern and sophisticated Andalusian cuisine, where each dish is designed to pair perfectly with the house wines and, of course, its world-famous brandies. Its elegant patio is an ideal setting for a special dinner, and best of all, it's just steps away from our apartments.

3. The Rural Experience: Seasonal Musts (Autumn/Winter)

If your visit falls between October and January, you're in luck. It's the "mostos" season, the wineries and wine presses in the countryside that open their doors to sell the year's young, cloudy wine. It's one of Jerez's most deeply rooted traditions, where you can enjoy hearty, homemade food in a festive, family-friendly atmosphere.

Mosto El Corregidor Viejo

One of the best-known and most renowned. A perfect place to get started in the world of must and try a textbook hot garlic.

Mosto Domi

Famous for its hot garlic and always lively atmosphere, it's a must-visit for many Jerez residents on autumn weekends.

Mosto La Sacristía

Another temple for lovers of must. It's known for its family atmosphere and homemade tapas, which are the perfect accompaniment to the young wine of the season.

What to order (yes or yes): The experience is not complete without trying the hot garlic (a hearty and delicious garlic and bread soup), the Jerez cabbage and, of course, a jug of the house must.

Dishes you can't miss in Jerez.

Bull's Tail: Slowly stewed until the meat falls apart.
