Why such a high rating is a mystery. The service is excellent but the food is average at best. Its more a street cafe than a restaurant, right next to a busy road and with a constant stream of pedestrians, cyclists, dog walkers etc passing through. For dinner Granada has so much more to offer.
Dear Bobby,
First of all thank you for taking time to share your experience at the restaurant. We think, maybe, you are wrong because El Pescaíto de Carmela isn't near a "busy road". It's located at the city center, in a pedestrian street, just down the Cathedral.
Anyway, we don't allow dogs or any animals at our restaurant, but we can't avoid pedestrian or cyclist at the street.
We hope you change your opinion and decide to come back.
Best regards from all of us

We came here for an early dinner in July 2016.
Location is by a busy crossroads next to the river but you are screened from the road so although there is not much to see, you don't have to look at the road.
First impressions from the staff were excellent. We were greeted with a friendly smile and our waitress was excellent throughout the meal. When I ordered 2 more croquettes and she misheard and brought 2 cokes, she handled it with no fuss and a smile.
The food was very good, we had starters of croquettes and potato salad both of which were delicious. Mains were battered cod and pork loin, both very good and the desserts were fried custard (tasty).
The price was reasonable, so all in all a very pleasant experience, good food, reasonable price and excellent service.

In total, this is not a super special place and there are more like it nearby. But we enjoyed our food and tapas and the lava-cake for desert in particular. You can tell the chef put his heart into it!

Trip Advisor, why such a high rating? It's more a street cafe that serves food rather than a restaurant right next to a main road with no view or proximity to anything in particular. It doesn't have a vibe or atmosphere or anything whatsoever. On the upside, service was excellent and the food was ok. You are sprayed with cooling mist which is a blessing
Dear Figs_Olives,
Thank you for your post. It's great to hear that you enjoyed our food and service, however we are sorry to hear that you have a mixed feeling just because the location. Our terrace - at street level- has views of a quiet square but, from our viewpoint on the second floor you can see Genil River and the exuberant Paseo del Salón Garden.
We hope to welcome you back again in the near future so you can enjoy the surroundings and our home made quality cuisine.
Best regards from all of us
