Food scene
Also known as Tio de la Tiza.
This is a consistently very good, almost excusively seafood restaurant. It is set in an airy beautiful little square and is a very pleasant space to spend an evening. One of our favourite places to eat in Cádiz. You do need to book ahead here a day or two in advance and do request an outside table when booking. Really good food and very friendly service is why it is nearly always full, mostly of local people, always a good sign. Highly recommend the side dishes or starters of Patas Alinas - potato salad in a very tasty vinaigrette, and also the Pimentos fritos - fried green peppers, both are delicious. The almejas marinara (clams) here are excellent also. Great place to try a whole grilled fish, the Dorada / Black Sea Bream is a great and reasonably priced choice. However I would not recommend the Salmonettes, a small mudfish that tasted to me, well, like mud !!
Update-July 2024 - two visits, both excellent

Do not be fooled by the fact that this place looks nothing special, this is a fantastic place to eat. We dine here at least 3 or 4 times over a stay in Cádiz, much more than anywhere else.
It's a plain looking little mom and pop (literally) family run bar, head and shoulders above anywhere else, in our opinion in the "tapas bar" category in Cádiz. The common standard tapas here are very good, but it also has some outstanding restaurant quality dishes that we keep coming back for.
It's mainly the fact they have their own grill for fresh seafood and meat and a cook who's superb with it that makes the difference.
You will get 5 large Langoustines here, hot off the grill, cooked to perfection, utterly delicious for the giveaway price of €10. As good as any of the famous and very expensive Sanlucar Langoustines one has in upmarket restaurants in our opinion.
Grilled Brochettes- choice of salmon, monkfish, ling, gambas or iberican pork are really good too.
The absolute star for us though is the so called tapas of Dorada a la Rotena - fillet of roast Sea Bream with red peppers swimming in a delicious sauce, for €6......hits the spot every time, makes our eyes roll in our heads!
They also have an organic tomato and burrata salad with cashew nut pesto that we can never seem to resist as a starter, plenty for 2 sharing....yummm
Great spot for lunch, all indoor seating, lovely and cool on a hot day. Nearly all locals, and a lovely friendly vibe. Owners speak very little english but the menus are in Spanish and English, so theres no problem with ordering.

Right in the heart of the Mercado Central, the freshest and highest quality fish is selected daily by the owner from his suppliers just a few feet away in the market stalls. The Tuna Tataki is superb here, it is our favourite place to eat Tuna in Cádiz but it's all really excellent. Salmon Ndjiri with Teryiaki and mustard and the Uramaki Rolls are also favourites. There are not many tables available to sit at here, but you can reserve one, and they also do takeout to order. Superb value for money for the quality and artistry of the food.

Probably the most famous restaurant in Cádiz. A swanky Tapas Bar on one side and a very formal Restaurant on the other, with seperate street entrances to either. It is situated right around the corner from the apartment. Fish is their specialty, and they are also famous for their tortillitas de camarones, a Cádiz specialty you will see everywhere (fried tiny shrimp in batter)
The tapas bar serves esentially the same food as the main restaurant in smaller portions (tapas, raciones, media raciones).
One important point to note, unlike some of the more tourism dependent restaurants in Cádiz, this place is a year round favourite of the local gaditanos, so Spanish is the main language you will hear spoken and it is often times very busy and if you dont speak Espanol, it can feel a little bit of a challenge at first. They do have menus in English so ordering is easy enough.
Standing at the tapas bar is a great place to start with and watch all the delicious tapa whizzing by! After a visit or two you will get the hang of it and go from there!
The tapas bar is reasonably priced, the main restaurant one of the most expensive in Cádiz, crisp white table linen etc. Definetly a place to dress up for a splash-out meal or special occasion. (everyone else, mostly the beautiful Spanish people, will be dressed to the nines ! )
Best place in Cádiz for a whole grilled fish (a la Plancha) The Lubina a la Plancha (Sea Bass) is so succulent with a delicious super crispy skin. The Rockfish a la Rotena-rockfish with sweet peppers, a classic Spanish dish, is also superb

Consistently great little modern bar and restaurant serving excellent food (sometimes with an Asian twist) and good wines by the glass. Friendly and helpful staff speak English. A very popular restaurant, so its best to book ahead if you want a table. They also have some seats at the bar, which are on a first come basis, so if you arrive before they open at 8:30 you can be reasonably sure of getting a seat.
If they offer you a table on the outside terrace, I advise you decline, its really in the corner of Plaza Candela about 50m away, as it can feel very detached and service tends to be a lot slower out there.
Excellent value for money. One of their specialties here is Roasted Octopus (pulpo) and its really delicious, as are the King Prawn Tacos with guacamole and Mexican sauce
Also try their Smoked aubergine with Goats cheese, basil and sundried tomatoes which is a favourite of ours. Really good Bravas here too

If you've had enough fish in Cádiz, this is the place to come for some really good traditionally cooked meats and stews, with hams and sausages hanging all over the place. RusticTapas bar at the front, and a restaurant at the back.
Always extremely busy - we would recommend getting there early and sitting at the bar, that way you have the entire range of bar tapa available to you and can also order larger portions from the menu of the restaurant at the back if you wish. The food comes out very quickly and in no particular order so we find it best to order as you eat rather than ending up being served it all at once!
The stand out Dish for us here is the tapa of Abanico al Pedro Ximimez, this is a simple looking Iberico rib meat stew with potatoes, but the flavour of the sauce and tenderness of the meat is sublime-its pure comfort food.
Try also the tapa or bigger ración of carrillada Iberica picante (slightly spicy slow-cooked Iberian pig cheek stew) The tapa of spicy hot Chorizo skewers is also excellent as is the Montadito de paleta y presa iberica (juicy pork steak topped with Iberican jamón in a bread roll), or if you want something more substantial try the excellent Entrecote de presa Iberica (juicy thick shoulder steak) or the local beef (Carne Retinto). Good selection of well priced wine too.

A very famous ( Rick Stein again! ) tiny little bar always buzzing with local characters and not to be missed. It's just down the street from the apartment. There's bullfighting memorabilia, ancient tiled floors and old photos all the way up to the ceilings.
They serve good simple tapas on greaseproof paper rather than plates (try the jamón or the chicharrones (slow-roasted belly pork).
Just a few seats at the bar and with space for only a few tables inside, but there's sherry barrel tables to sit around outside and a great place for people watching.
They have an overflow restaurant across the street, a modern building with the same name and serving mostly the same food. Now they have expanded again and added another one a little further up the street. Definetly well worth queueing up 20 minutes or so before opening time so to guarantee yourself a seat inside in the original old restaurant to soak up the atmosphere, especially if its your first visit

This is a tiny family run bar with sherry barrell tables outside which we find more pleasant to sit at rather than inside. The simple tapas here are tasty and among the most reasonably priced you will find anywhere, with an excellent selection of good wines. The Aubergines stuffed with cheese, Albondigas chocos (cuttlefish with squid ink) and Cazon (dogfish) stew are our favourites. Very friendly English speaking owner and staff. Perfect spot for a quick lunchtime snack if coming from the beach and its right next door to the apartment. Only opens Thursday or Friday - Sunday, dependent on season.

Really good seafood restaurant, featured in the Rick Stein TV series, but it's moved considerably upmarket since. Over in the new town, facing the beachfront with lovely panoramic sea views. They have an extensive and varied menu, buzzing atmosphere and a cool sea themed decor. The fish is the star here, Lubina (Grilled Whole Sea Bass ) is really excellent, and Tuna is another specialty here. Also watch out for a fish called a Spanish Urta or Red Sea Bream, it tastes like a cross between crab and prawns because thats what it feeds on. Incredible delicate tasting and textured fish.
Quite expensive, but a really lovely setting and high quality food . They have an online reservations system which works very well. Many of the staff have good English. Also has a seperate tapas bar.
The rice dishes here are also very good and very popular, though only served at lunchtime and are for two to share similar to Paella - The arroz del señorito (all peeled seafood ingredients) is great for kids, the arroz negro (intensely black from the squid ink) is amazing and the arroz en salsa verde con almejas y gambas (rice with parsley and garlic sauce with clams and prawns) is one of their specialties and something that you won't find every day

One or two really good dishes worth coming here to try, the Grilled Artichokes topped with either Jamon or Anchovies are excellent. The sizzling Gambas in olive oil are very good too.
The downside here is prices are relatively high for some of the main dishes, particularly for the fish, and not really worth it

Wonderfully atmospheric little sherry bar that hasn't changed much since the early 1900s. Try a cold fino with a few olives here before having lunch in La Candela on the same road. Or else do a thorough tasting journey through the different Sherry types, all the way from Manzanilla to brandy (and stagger all the way home!). English spoken.

Best to sit at one of the outside tables on the pavement in the morning sun and watch the world go by. The only drawback is they only have 6 outside tables available on the pavement, and it's nearly always mad busy.

Directly across the street from the apartment. Stunningly beautiful and safe for swimming, blue flag sheltered beach. One of our favourite things to do here is an early morning walk. Start by walking out and back the causeway to the Castillo and then turn right along the promenade. At the Cathedral turn left and cross the peninsula to reach the promenade on the other side. Following this around by the sea wall back to the apartment, takes in the stunningly beautiful Jardines de Alameda Apodaca and right by the Genovese Park. It is a beautiful loop and a wonderful way to start your day.

The entrance archway to the causeway that leads to the Castillo is right across the street from the apartment. Though the Castillo is not open to visit, it is still wonderful to stroll out along the causeway as far as the gates for the ocean views. Early in the morning is a great time and you will see the gaditanos fishing for their breakfast. On your left you can see the cathedral and also the new city stretching down the shoreline into the distance, all bathed in the soft morning light. On your right of course is the beautiful La Caleta beach.
