CARMEN MIRADOR DE AIXA
Go there and contact
Among the very best restaurants with terraces in Granada and Albaicín, this family business serves excellent homemade Mediterranean cuisine using good local products, while offering breathtaking views day and night, with illuminations. A stone's throw from the Mirador de San Nicolás, facing the Alhambra, the space, a carmen from the Nasrid era, is distinguished, superb with almond and fig trees. On a garden terrace or in a rustic and elegant lounge, after fresh salads or soups (hot or cold, depending on the season) welcome, make way for very beautiful presentations in generous portions: cod poached with peppers and shrimps or gratinated in hollandaise sauce, chuletón de buey con calabaza al Pedro Ximénez (rib of beef with squash and Jerez natural sweet wine), brocheta con langostinostinos sweet sauce with Sherry. The side dishes are just as appetizing as the meat (veal...) and fish (many bacalao dishes). The wine list will delight aesthetes, international travellers or those from the local bourgeoisie (the two main components of the clientele of this carmen) with many references including wines from the surroundings of Granada such as the pago de Almares (red) or the mencal (white), with a good quality/price ratio. In an excellent atmosphere, at the Mirador de Aixa (pronounced Aïcha), the meals always end with sublime desserts such as the holjadre of caramelized apples (puff pastry) and the kind words of the very welcoming owners, Paco, Carmen and their daughter, escorted by a very good team.
