Our favourite restaurants & tapas bars in Murcia city

Murcia is a city to eat. From centuries-old tapas bars to a former post office full of food stalls: these are the addresses we keep going back to.

The oldest bar in the city, opened in 1926. You order here at the bar, between the wooden wine barrels – a real piece of Murcian tradition. Known for its marinera/marinero.
Address: Calle Polo de Medina, 4, Murcia

Fusion, tapas with a modern twist, and affordable for how special the dishes are. Think tasty paparacjotes served on a tree trunk, and a very creative elaboration of all the classics.
Address: Plaza San Pedro, 3, Murcia

Very popular among the locals, and it shows. We loved the setas a la plancha and zarangollo here. Affordable, with a real local atmosphere.
Address: Calle Cánovas del Castillo, 7, Murcia

A tapas bar known for tapas paired with a drink – wine, beer or vermouth. You can also visit this in Cartagena.
Address: Calle Balsas, 10, Murcia

Known for its special beers, with new, temporary tapas on the board above the bar. Located right in the tascas neighborhood of Murcia.
Address: C. Victorio, 12, Murcia

A beautiful building – the former post office of the city, now transformed into a food hall with various stalls. The zamburiñas are delicious, the fish is great, and the desserts are also great.
Address: Calle Pintor Villacís, Murcia

Fusion restaurant, some days you can even eat sushi there. A bit more chic in atmosphere, beautiful interior, but still affordable.
Address: Calle Frenería, 6, Murcia

A small brewery just outside the center of Murcia, with a very tasty food menu. Here we ate the best patatas bravas in Murcia – the burgers are also great.
Address: Ctra. de Alicante, Polígono Peñamar (Naves 6-7), Murcia

Not a restaurant, but a patisserie – and a mandatory stop. Known for its pastel de carne, the typical Murcian meat pie. Just order “uno” and you automatically get the specialty of the house.
Address: Calle Riquelme, 13, Murcia

Do you already know one of our Cartagena favorites, but now also has his own business in Murcia city? Be sure to try the dadidos: small croquettes in cube shape (the name comes from dado, Spanish for dice) in different flavors, such as portobello with truffle or bacalao.
Address: Plaza Santa Eulalia, 12, Murcia
