The extensive and international menu provides a delicious range of dishes for breakfast, lunch, "merienda" and dinner so we decided to try several of their raciones to see if the food matched up to the friendly staff and pleasant feel of the place.
First of all we opted for the "Salmorejo" and the "Iberian Pork Fillet Toast with Brie and Caramelized Onion". The Cordoban classic didn't dissapoint and the toast was absolutely mouth-watering. The pork was cooked perfectly and the soft sweetness of the caramalized onion underneath the brie was a true delight.
We then went on to try the "Calamari Rings with Ali Oli" and the "Red Shrimp and Langoustine Croquetas". The lightly battered calamari was exceptionally tasty alongside the zing of the lemon juice and the punch of the garlic mayonnaise. The croquetas were also delicious with a generous amount of langoustine chunks to keep us entertained. The house white we had to accompany (Verdejo Siglo XXI) was dry and crisp and perfect for chilling out in the warmth of the terraza.For dessert we picked the Tiramisu ice cream which was pleasant but nothing special. I was dissapointed that a restaurant of this calibre would serve it in a plastic cup straight out of the freezer. Perhaps we should have gone for some of the delectable cakes which others were trying out on other tables.
All in all, La Barra del Caciquito would definitely get my recommendation. The staff were attentive and well-mannered and given the quality of the food it is definitely good value for money. A relaxing experience away from the hustle and bustle of busier areas of the city.
