Albores

Jerez de la Frontera


Pitching itself among age-old city-centre favourites, Albores brings a contemporary edge to local flavours and traditional recipes with its original, seasonally inspired tapas and plates. Chef Julián Olivares' show-stealing seafood includes clams in sherry-vinegar sauce and, in season, almadraba tuna specials, while other delectable bites range from goat's-cheese tosta to papas aliñás. One of Jerez' top breakfast spots.

The team runs chic nearby seafooder A Mar, too, which serves fresh fish of the day with an impressive selection of sherries and other Cádiz wines.
