El Faro - Cadiz

Fish & Seafood Restaurant

This famous seafood restaurant lies in the La Viña district, close to La Caleta and the walls of the San Sebastián castle. The story of Restaurante El Faro has its own name: Gonzalo Córdoba. He started life here in an inn, serving glasses of local wine together with tapas of fried and battered fish or shellfish, cuttlefish, white anchovies or the unbeatable shrimp omelettes. But he was unfulfilled, and so he began to bring back Cádiz cuisine. Prior to this the cuisine of Cádiz was unknown and only cooked for familiy dinners. Gonzalo Córdoba dedicated himself to this regional cuisine and today Maite follows in her father’s footsteps.
