At La Pilastra, beside the Puente Nuevo in Ronda, the menu is built around raciones and plates to share: you order for the middle and everyone tries a bit. There are daily suggestions too. If you are after single bar-style tapas, ask when you arrive what is available that day.

## Tapa, ración or sharing plate?

It helps to know what to expect. A tapa is a small, usually individual portion, often eaten standing at the bar. A ración is a full plate meant for several people, and that is the backbone of the menu at La Pilastra: prices are per plate and the starters are designed for the middle of the table.

Some dishes state how many pieces they come with, which makes ordering easier: the homemade croquette selection has eight, the anchovy with smoked butter four and the artichoke flowers with pork jowl two. Everything, with prices and allergens, is on [the full menu](https://lapilastra.com/en/menu).

## What to order to share

For a varied table, mix something cold, something hot and something from the Serranía:

- Homemade croquettes: stew, porcini, prawn and spinach.
- [Huevos rotos](https://lapilastra.com/en/menu/broken-eggs-truffle) over fries with Iberian ham and black truffle oil.
- Garlic prawns with smoked kimchi sauce over fried eggs.
- [100% acorn-fed Iberian ham](https://lapilastra.com/en/menu/acorn-fed-iberian-ham) and the [Serranía cheese board](https://lapilastra.com/en/menu/serrania-cheese-board).
- Artichoke flowers with pork jowl and first-press olive oil.

## House suggestions

Alongside the main menu there are suggestions that change with availability. Recent ones include Ronda chorizo in sweet wine, Ronda-style tripe, Russian salad with prawns and [oxtail croquettes](https://lapilastra.com/en/menu/oxtail-croquettes). Ask which ones are on that day.

A simple way to order is to start with two or three plates for the middle and add more as you go, rather than ordering everything at once. For larger parties, [groups and celebrations](https://lapilastra.com/en/group-dining-ronda) explains how to plan the table.
