Freidor Casa Manteca

Cádiz


Fried squid, prawns and other salty sea deliciousness, by the quarter-kilo, is the thing at this hot 2020-opened freiduría, where you'll be washing it all down with local sherry and vermouth and definitely making space for the truffle tortilla. Takeaway or eat in the Casa Manteca bodega, opposite.
