La Judería

Vejer de la Frontera


Andalucian wines and fresh local produce take centre stage at this lively rustic-chic tapas bar/restaurant, with a sunny upstairs terrace and tables under the arches on one of Vejer's prettiest streets. Try local favourites such as payoyo cheese and papas aliñás, or international-inspired bites like falafel with tzatziki or flambeed tuna belly in black garlic.
