With literally hundreds of tapas bars, restaurants and bakeries there is a lot too choose from when it comes to tasting and enjoying the local cuisine of Ronda. But, and this is a big but, some places stand out well above the rest when it comes to fine dining and high quality tapas in the white town of Ronda. Here is Ronda Todays favorite places to eat (in no particular order.) You should try to get a table at some of these places at least once during your stay!

Entrevinos
Calle Pozo 2, 29400 Ronda, Spain
+34 658 58 29 76
https://www.facebook.com/Entrevinos-Ronda-197914083594234/
From the bullring walk uphill (away from the new bridge) and you will find Calle Pozo on the right in a hundred metres or so. Entrevinos has a fantastic selection or local and national wines with exceptional tapas to match. The place is quite small so try to get there early. Its pretty much standing room only but for an afternoon or early evening snack this is the place to be before you go off for a main meal somewhere else. Or, do what I do, and just keep ordering until you can’t eat anymore :)
Mon – Sat 20:00 – 00:30
Tue – Sat 12:30 – 16:30
Closed on Sundays.
Carmen de la Ronda
Plaza Duquesa de Parcent ,10
Tel 654 54 43 00
https://www.facebook.com/Carmen-la-de-Ronda-368038049955352/
This is a superb restaurant with an impressive wine selection and dishes made in house from local ingredients. Located in the Plaza de Parcent the place looks quite small from the outside but has a largish dining room upstairs. I would recommend popping in to reserve your table as it fills up quickly. The house paté is exceptional as is the Iberian ham for starters and the selection of meats is impressive. If you are vegetarian then just tell the waiter and the chef will prepare you something quite special.
Open every day from 11am to midnight
Tragata
Calle Nueva, 4, 29400 Ronda (From the Plaza de Toros walk down towards the Puente Nuevo and Calle Nueve is on the left just before the bridge opposite the Parador)
+34 952 87 72 09

With an Asian/Spanish fusion the tapas at Tragata are unforgettable and delicious, one of my favorite places to snack in Ronda! It is a small restaurant that fills quickly so get there early or make a reservation. A small wine collection but very high quality that merges with the fine food. Try the calamari sandwich or the salmon and oysters!
Open everyday 1pm to midnight
Restaurante Bodega San Francisco
Plaza Ruedo de Alameda, 27
+34 952 87 81 62
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Bar-Restaurante-La-Bodega-101219278051485/
Located in one of the oldest neighborhoods (Barrio San Francisco and Almocabar Gate) The kitchen here serves fantastic traditional cuisine of the region, strongly influenced by the Mediterranean diet, with a variety of rich, healthy and balanced dishes La Bodeguita San Francisco has a large and excellent variety of local and national wines. If you want to dine inside then a reservation is obligatory as the place is popular with locals and fills up quickly. In fine weather you can dine outside in the plaza where there are plenty of tables. Still, the popularity of this place means that even the outside tables get snatched up quickly, especially on weekends.
Open from 11am till 1am and closed on Thursdays.
Toro Tapas

The décor is warm and inviting, with both indoor seating and a lively terrace for people-watching. Whether you’re after a quick bite or a leisurely evening meal, Toro Tapas offers a memorable taste of Ronda at a fair price.
