It’s located on the riverfront, close to the Mosque and the Roman bridge. Reservations are recommended.

La Fuente 12 is a delightful restaurant tucked away in a quiet street close to the San Francisco church. They use fresh ingredients and have a lot of local dishes such as fried eggplant with honey and flamenquin.
The service is excellent and the prices are very fair. We really enjoy the cod and their oxtail which is extremely tender.
Address: Calle Huerto San Pedro el Real 12
Casa Pepe is located in the historic Jewish quarter. It has a bit of an upscale feel to it and it is also not the cheapest option, however, the quality is quite high. One of the highlights is their rooftop terrace which has gorgeous views of the Mosque tower.
