Where to have dinner in Ronda, steps from the gorge

How late you can have dinner

The restaurant is open from 12:00 to 23:00. That is closing time rather than last orders, so if you want a late dinner, say after a day out in the Serranía or a concert, ask when you book and the team will tell you the latest time they can seat you.

People in Andalusia dine late, and in high season the outdoor tables fill up before the dining room does. If eating outside matters to you, book ahead and ask for the terrace; here is how tables with a view are allocated.

Putting your dinner together

The menu works for a light supper or a long evening. To open the table, try the Serranía cheese board, the 100% acorn-fed Iberian ham or the artichoke flowers with pork jowl and first-press olive oil. Then everyone picks a main: Ronda-style oxtail, pork cheek in Pedro Ximénez with raisins and cassava crisps, Angus beef tenderloin, bluefin tuna belly or oven-baked salmon with citrus tabbouleh.

To finish there is chocolate fondant with fresh fruit, cheesecake, pistachio cake, white chocolate cake or vanilla ice cream with olive oil and sea salt flakes. Not sure how much to order? Ask the team; they will guide you by the size of your group.

The wine list leans on wineries from the Serranía; ask for a suggestion to match your dishes, or read up on Ronda wines beforehand. Prices and allergens for every dish are on the full menu.

Before or after: Ronda by night

Dining here keeps the evening walk close at hand: the Mirador de Aldehuela is right beside the restaurant and the floodlit Puente Nuevo a few steps away. Look over the gorge before you sit down, or cross the bridge after dessert.
