Six restaurants across the province of Almería have been awarded the esteemed ‘Solete’ distinction by the Guía Repsol, which recognises informal but high-quality establishments celebrated for their authenticity, character, and inviting atmosphere.
Selected by a team of experts who travel across Spain in search of hidden culinary gems, these newly awarded restaurants showcase the variety and richness of Almería’s local dining scene. In Níjar, both Tasca and El Gallinero de Pedro have been recognised each offering traditional Andalusian flavours in a relaxed, rustic setting.
In Almería capital, three restaurants have received the honour. Kiosco 18 de Julio, a local favourite for decades, offers a nostalgic summer vibe and casual service. Ático By Grupo Olivencia, located high above the city, has been praised for its creative Mediterranean cuisine and panoramic views and La Azotea, which as its name suggests is another rooftop venue that combines informal elegance with a lively, modern twist.
Completing the list is Las Fuentes, nestled in the mountain village of Bacares, which stands out for its ‘Comida casera’ (homely dishes) and charming setting in the Sierra de los Filabres.
The ‘Solete’ awards focus on unpretentious, quality-driven venues, places you’d recommend to a friend without hesitation. With these new additions, Almería continues to build its reputation as a destination for honest, memorable dining experiences rooted in local tradition and charm.
