La Candela

This restaurant is not only the best in Cadiz, but so far, the best in Spain. The staff is friendly and devoted, and the food is so unique and nothing compared to what I have had so far in other restaurants in Spain. The restaurant is charming inside and it was full starting at 20:30, when we got there. We’re booking for another dinner this week. It’s an absolute must!

Great change of pace from the ultra traditional. Tapas and share plates, but creative, with influences from around the world. Lots of Asian and Latin American touches. Great flavors. Super nice and helpful staff, English spoken. Quirky interior full of curios and handcrafted items. Great lunch.

This restaurant had the perfect balance in creativity and flavors. We enjoyed our food, specially the mushrooms rice, fish and chips, empanadas, and the best octopus in town! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Perfect trifecta: incredible cuisine, friendly & quick staff, great vibe. Had ensaladilla de atun and el polpo. Creative and delicious. Our best food in Cadiz—book before to secure a table outdoors. Really fantastic. Thank you!

We came to this restaurant by train from Seville on a day trip. We came expecting excellent seafood and we certainly were not disappointed. The restaurant is unpretentious,located on a side street. The staff are excellent, the ingredients are superb. We have eaten fish in Europe, USA and Japan. The standard in this restaurant is second to none.

Superb food and wonderful atmosphere - can’t overstate how lovely the food was and how brilliant the service was. Exceptional. We had the goats cheese salad to share as a starter and then croquettes, fish and chips, the Iberian pork cuts and fries. Absolutely delicious and all washed down with 4 glasses of wine - total bill just over €60. Would totally recommend this place and reserve or turns up early to avoid disappointment.

Everything we ordered was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu.

TOP TOP TOP. Don’t go anywhere else in Cadiz. The best food in town. The service 10/10. Cozy. Awesomely decisions food with Asian elements. Best restaurant in whole Andalusia. We had twice Vietnamese rolls - amazing. Then dumplings with shrimps, then octopus and then black rice ! The experience was awesome . Extremely friendly personnel. Make a reservation . Enjoy

What a great restaurant. I highly advice reservations unless you don't mind eating tapas at the bar. All tapas were excellent, food was served quickly. Opens usually later, around 830 pm. Dinner for 2 no alcohol came to 62 Euro. The meal is served with olives and bread. Washrooms could be cleaner, toilet paper is not flushed down the toilet but put in a bin off to the side. This is something I'm not quite used to doing being from North America. I would recommend this Tapas restaurant while visiting Cadez.

Great food with a wealth of flavors.
Seat reservation required

Returned to this gem in Cadiz and weren’t disappointed. Dishes beautifully presented and tasted just as good. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Cosy atmosphere and very friendly and quick & efficient service. Will be back

Very nice restaurant. Limited menu, but very tasty dishes, well presented. Can get very crowded and this place is not so big, so reservations are advised. If you come early, there's a chance you can sit at the bar to eat. Very friendly service. English menu available. Not expensive.

Super delicious food on the gourmet side. The manu is only one page, exactly how it should be!

Great evening. Managed to get a good seat at the bar. Staff were great, very accommodating. Good was delicious. Beer and red wine both top notch. Highly recommended.

Deserves it's reputation. We sat the bar. Every dish was a knock out. Service was also exceptional. If you are visiting Cadiz it's a must go. Gets very busy so try and book but if you can't get a table turn up at 830 and try your luck for a bar table.

Food and wine were fantastic! Were here on a cruise stop so we didn't have a lot of time. Place was packed but we were able to sit at the bar. Service was good despite them being overwhelmed. Don't remember exactly what Iberian pork dish we ordered but it was delicious and the side of truffle potato and arepas were sooooo good!!! Highly recommend!

Charming little spot, really nicely decorated and of course the food is delicious. They serve small and larger plates of Andalusian twists on dishes from around the world. The one thing I wish I'd tried is the fish & chips as it looked incredible. Either book or get there early or you're likely to be waiting a little while as it's a small spot.

100% recommended! We ordered according to the waitress’ recommendations and the food was amazing. Fish tacos, fried avocado with prawns, white fish and prawn ceviche, grilled octopus and pork cheek. Topped it off with the chocolate coulant for dessert, definitely one of the best meals we had in Cadiz.

For me, one of the best restaurants in cadiz! Creative tapas is a good way to describe the food. The menu as such has already good options like the bento (it is for 2 persons). I can recommend this as a starter. Afterwards, I had delicious rice with entrecot (the meat was very tender). The croquetas were very good as well, but I would try the other creative food. I think you can't make a wrong decision in ordering any food there. They also have some options for the menu of the day. For desert, I always go for the cheese cake.
The place is not very big, so you should definitively make a reservation. The price is a little bit higher compared to the average restaurant there but totally fair.

Worth a short wait. Every thing we ate was delicious recommend the croquettas and the prawn taco. Wine great too and lovely staff.
