Zulema - Grazalema

This place is in the centre of the village. The inside is rather dark, full of locals, and unwelcoming although there are some interesting photographs on the wall of activities in the old village which are worth viewing. We went with our guide but I did not gain the impression that it was a particularly touristy restaurant. Most will eat outside and the service is fine. Basically the food is tapas and fairly ordinary but perfectly edible and enjoyable especially if washed down with a glass of wine. You can order food as tapas or main serving but they are all large. You will not come here for haute cuisine but for a rustic meal with the locals and hopefully no tourists. The bill for 3 was €37 and this was more than we could eat.

In a small square the friendly Zulema offer menu del dia and excellent taps. We ordered two drinks, tortilla de camerones excellent) padron peppers and chorizo all of this for 10 Euros. The service was good and the setting great...

Desde que llegamos hasta que nos fuimos, todo fue perfecto. El ambiente estaba lleno de gente, pero lo que más destacó fue la comida y la excelente atención que recibimos por parte del personal que trabaja aquí.

Un lugar excelente en el corazón de Grazalema, el servicio es exquisito y la comida deliciosa. Gracias por todo.

We had lunch at this establishment on a warm afternoon. It looked very attractive in the town’s main plaza. Things didn’t start well when we were yelled at for trying to move a table and two chairs into the shade. Our drinks and first course of food came promptly enough, then we waited, and waited. I eventually had to hunt down a waiter to order dessert. Our dishes were tasty enough, especially a lamb stew, but there was no attempt to present anything with creativity merely a slop of food on a plate. After waiting again for a bill to arrive, I ignored the temptation to walk off and see if anybody was interested, but I finally headed inside to disrupt the conversation and find somebody to give me a bill.
