Granada's fine dining scene is small but serious. The city's best chef-driven restaurants draw from the Sierra Nevada and the surrounding huerta — expect courses built around ingredients like saffron, pomegranate, jamón de Trevélez and highland lamb. Beyond the top tables, a handful of creative spots offer elevated Andalusian cuisine at prices that would be considered mid-range in most European capitals: multi-course dinners from €35–65 featuring Sierra Nevada olive oils, Ibérico pork, and wines from the D.O. Granada denomination, whose high-altitude vineyards produce bottles that surprise guests expecting only southern heat. Reservations are essential at the best tables, especially on weekends and during the International Music and Dance Festival season.
