We had the best time at La Galería. Amazing food prepared with loads of love. You could really tell that there was good energy. We waited a little longer for our food because the restaurant was packed - definitely worth it!

The food was amazing! The service is great! In all my years coming to Tarifa I haven’t been to a restaurant with such amazing food. The pastela was out of this world and cannot recommend it enough! For vegetarians the artichokes were great and perfectly cooked. My only regret was not taking a picture! The atmosphere was very cozy and warm. We went in the evening and the interior was candle lit a gorgeous setting. After eating we wanted to talk to the chef and i can only say that his warmth and happiness was felt in all his cooking.

Lovely little Moroccan restaurant in the heart of the old town. Super accommodating and friendly service. We had the trio of dips: aubergine, humus and carrot were all very tasty. the bread, warm, crispy. For main, we had the kofte tagine. Again, tasty, and excellent value for money. For two people we spent less than 50 euros with a bottle of wine included. Highly recommend.

Lots of Love, Lennard & Leila

This place feels like home. I shared an amazing meal here with a very special friend whilst staying in Tarifa. Nicky goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at home in her beautiful restaurant. Everything we ate was so delicious and I had to come back for more. Thanks for everything Nicky. I'll see you again some day

The portions are too big and the prices are too low! Get there and try the amazing food before they figure it out! Seriously though, a one-of-a-kind place and a real novelty. The food has some incredible flavours and colours. The pasteles and the freshly baked bread are real highlights. Definitely seek this place out and give it a try!
