Espressonista

Granada


Tall ceilings, hand-carved furniture and gilded mirrors give this place a certain old-world grandeur, but the succinct menu is as contemporary as it gets, with French influences. Feast on the likes of mackerel and passion-fruit ceviche (marinated seafood), rabbit confit and ox cheek à la bourguignonne, along with some of Granada's best gourmet coffee.
