Fodor's Expert Review Ruta del Azafrán

A charming surprise nestled at the foot of the Albayzín by the Darro, this sleek contemporary space in the shadow of the Alhambra offers a selection of specialties. The diverse menu includes tuna tataki (a method of pounding fish in Japanese cuisine) with apple chutney and several different couscous dishes. There are also three tasting menus (from €30). Steel furniture and a black-and-red color scheme contribute to the air of sophistication. The kitchen is open from 1 to 11 pm, or until midnight during the summer.
