Choco Restaurante

The fine dining was an experience from start to finish. Every dish brought something to be surprised by, either presentation, ingredients, taste or all three. See for yourself in the sneak peak photos :)
Well worth the Michelin star 🌟

Córdoba, one of the most beautiful and culturally rich cities in the world! Do you want to taste it? At a Michelin level? Do not hesitate to book this place! Their food honors Córdoba in every single bite. Chef Kisko García and his staff, go above and beyond to provide one of the most unique experiences in the South of Spain! Every single dish is artistically crafted to put the city’s richness to the forefront of their food. What makes the experience even better? The service and attention to detail is unmatched.
I asked for a pescatarian/vegetable menu, and it was executed to perfection! Thank you at all the staff @CHOCO for making me fall in love in Córdoba even more!

We had the full tasting menu - 17 courses, I think?! - with wine pairing and it was a delight. We spent several hours being led on a gastronomic tour of historical Cordoba and Andalucia by our knowledgeable and enthusiastic waiter (who happily for me spoke English). The courses were served in three locations, one of which being the kitchen so we could watch the cooking and prep as we ate (one course here was smoked in lavender in front of us, as we were sprayed with local wine which was apparently once a sign of a gentleman's affluence - I love learning while I eat!). All beautifully presented, as one would expect for a Michelin starred restaurant, but not *too* gimmicky, and I didn't find it pretentious (although the final petit fours were served in a spinning box of jewellery, which I didn't fully understand). Some of the dishes were truly exceptional, with the 'choco' (the restaurant's signature dish) being my favourite: finely sliced cuttlefish with a sublime silky texture. It was the sort of mouthfull which makes you roll your eyes back and sink down into your chair. The pork dish was also remarkable - it had an ultra thin layer of glazed, perfectly crispy skin and I cannot comprehend how it was achieved. The meat itself was so soft I wanted to cry with joy a little. Rosemary baked bread was served with goat milk butter topped with a little caviar, and that was delicious (plus they could accommodate gluten-free folk). Worth noting too that we were served a fried prawn head and legs. I'm an adventurous eater but I balked a little at that one - looked too much like a spider. However, I sucked it up - literally! - and can confirm it was like a very light pork scratching. It wasn't an inexpensive afternoon (€450/€500 ish for 2, with the extended tasting menu, wine pairing, and a couple of extra drinks before and after), but sometimes you get what you pay for.

Nice Michelin Star restaurante in Córdoba. Nice creative cuisine , I like the set menu. Before I go, I guess the master chef will use the snail to cook. After all, Andalusia is affected by Arab culture. For example, the fishbone dish is really creative. In this ancient city, it is good to eat this kind of food. Just the location of the restaurant is a bit remote.

We happened to be the only guests on Nov 12, 2023 evening. Nevertheless service, friendliness, food was made with enthusiasm. Most of the courses were served in the kitchen what made a special atmosphere.
Courses were special and had a lot of aromatic surprises: cuttlefish, mushroom, rabbit, lettuce, shrimps, vegetable soup, chicken to name a few. It was really well done but not over the top. Wine pairing was local and paired well. Some wines were positively non-mainstream.
Clear recommendation! Next time in Cordoba we come again!

Fantastic restaurant! Beautiful and delicious food, and the service is excellent.

Charming brothers serving delicious food in the spectacular city of Cordoba

Amazing creativity and sense of place. Truly an experience of Andalusia to remember!!

PHENOMENAL. I honestly think it won't be long before they will have a second michelin star. The experience and the food are stunning. A great journey of local product and wine with superb service.

It's difficult to describe how great this restaurant is.
It is a complete experience, fabulous food, service and ambiance.
We had the full Kisko Garcia menu, 17 courses and the wine pairing.
Truly outstanding!

beautiful presentation and extremely tasty food! you get to enter the kitchen and enjoy a couple appetizers served directly to you by the chef. really cool idea!

Amazing food and very professional service. Lounge snacks followed by a visit to the kitchen and a sit down meal in the dining room with very well matched wines. Mostly local and the local were the most interesting!

Tasting menu is amazing. We included the wine pairing and that had a wine that is in the top 1% of wines. The time with the chef was delightful. Nothing was off. A fabulous 2.5 hours.

Amazing Michelin restaurant

Beautiful gastronomic experience. Very spanish in its use of space and pacing and, most importantly, creative and tasty. A really nice moment and a cool dinner in cordoba.

Great restaurant, the location is a bit surprising, but the food is amazing and creative, definitely worth the trip to try. Great service and great experience..

Really cosy place with great service and food, although located far away from the historic centre. I would recomend anyone who can afford to spend at leastt 60 euros per person

Amazing tasting menu inspired by traditional cuisine and products from the area, with a heavy twist that will result in unexpected culinary experience

El menú es un espectáculo, conforme avanzan los platos el nivel aumenta. Se nota que Kisko ha trabajado cada plato como si fuera único. Gran equipo de jefe de mesa.

Pedimos el menú Barrio Antiguo y lo acompañamos de un vino blanco. La carta de vinos es amplia y tienen vinos de todos los precios. Nosotros optamos por un albariño de 22 euros delicioso.

Con respecto a la experiencia, llegamos unos 15 minutos antes, conscientes de que podríamos tener que esperar. Lo que no nos agrado era que el sitio para esperar es un bar donde había un grupo de personas tomando cerveza en la terraza y nadie dentro, nada acogedor.

Después salimos para entrar por la otra puerta y empezar la experiencia. Los aperitivos los tomas en una sala como de espera con unos sofás. Aquí te invitan a pedir una bebida. Fueron nuestros platos favoritos.

Después pasamos a la cocina a conocer al equipo y al chef y allí comimos dos platos más. Uno de ellos era un cogollo, un poco difícil de comer de pie si te toca el grande como a mí.

Para acabar en el restaurante es donde pedimos el vino, para los pases restantes. Todo estaba delicioso pero ni tanto como los entrantes. Acabamos con un postre de te y pera que me pareció muy original, y el costurero con los dulces. Esperábamos un poco más de los dulces.

El personal fue muy amable en todo momento y nos ha gustado mucho la experiencia
