Casa Mazal

Córdoba


A meal here makes a fine complement to the nearby Casa de Sefarad museum, as it brings the Sephardic tradition to the table, along with some andalusí (Moorish) dishes. Sephardic cuisine has diverse roots in Al-Andalus, Turkey, Italy and North Africa, with varied items on the menu such as a warm lamb-and-bean salad, an array of couscous options, and veal-stuffed aubergines.

The restaurant is set in a pretty courtyard, with tables in upper galleries too; it also stages recitals of Sephardic and other music.
