Restaurante Juan José

Top choice in Huelva


Locals regularly pack into this humble, friendly neighbourhood restaurant 1.5km northeast of Plaza de las Monjas for its fabulously gooey tortilla de patatas (potato-and-onion omelette). The tuna (fresh from Isla Cristina) and carne mechada (meat stuffed with pepper and ham) are tasty, too. Arrive before 2pm to snag a lunch table.

Catch bus 6 from the city bus station to Plaza Huerto Paco; walk one block south down Avenida de las Adoratrices and turn left on Calle Villamundaka.
