The Red Horse

Description

If renowned doctors, architects and philosophers flourished in Caliphate Cordoba, there is no doubt that cooks capable of bringing the most delicate delicacies to the court table also flourished. At The Red Horse We have been able to collect and preserve this heritage, bringing the authentic flavours of Andalusian cuisine back to the present day.

In the heart of the Jewish quarter of Cordoba, we invite you to savour the union between the local culinary tradition and the legacy of Mozarabic cuisine.

Our History
We are first and foremost a big family.

Anyone who has had the opportunity to visit Cordoba and sit at the table of the The Red Horse has been able to verify not only the comfort and hospitality of our house, but also the professionalism of a service with attention to detail and the excellence of a cuisine with its own stamp. A culinary proposal so special that even the most demanding palates surrender to it, making our restaurant a benchmark of Cordovan gastronomy and a treasure of Andalusian cuisine.

Talking about The Red Horse is to talk about its founder, José García Marínpopularly known as "Pepe el del Caballo Rojo" (Pepe with the Red Horse). In 1962 he made his dream come true by opening the first restaurant in Deanes Street, in the heart of the Jewish Quarter. Ten years later, the project took a decisive leap forward when he moved to a new house opposite the main façade of the Mosque, a larger and more comfortable space that allowed him to welcome an increasingly large and diverse public from Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain and the whole world.

Today is the third generationwith María Escribano García at the helm, who continues to guide this family legacy. His dedication ensures that we remain true to our long-standing values, while opening the door to new challenges and opportunities for growth.

To EAT Cordoba

If Caliphate Cordoba was the cradle of renowned doctors, architects and philosophers, it was also the cradle of chefs capable of bringing the most delicate delicacies to the tables of the Court. For us, the challenge consists of rescuing this culinary legacy that has always given prestige to our city, reinterpreting it according to today's tastes and incorporating our own contributions and innovations.

We put dedication and care into every dish, and we give the same careful attention to our customers. We want the memory of a good meal to always be linked to the experience of a close and professional treatment. That is why we work day after day to maintain the quality and prestige that identify us.

That is our commitment: to be at your service and to do things with the greatest possible dedication. The satisfaction of those who visit us is the best recognition we can receive. And none of this would be possible without our staff, who have managed to combine professionalism with the friendliness that so well defines this house.

The secret is in the kitchen

Our cuisine is based on the roots of the Cordovan tradition, a heritage forged over centuries by Romans, Arabs, Jews and Christians. This fusion of cultures gave birth to a unique way of cooking, with its own identity, which today is once again flourishing on our tables.

The menu we offer is the result of intense research and recovery of recipes, combined with a spirit of innovation that allows us to reinterpret them without losing their essence.

Inspired by the Andalusian legacy, we give prominence to all kinds of meat, fish and vegetables, always with top quality products. These include virgin olive oils from Baena, vinegars and wines from Montilla-Moriles, garlic from the countryside, vegetables from Cabra, asparagus from the Vega del Guadalquivir, Iberian cured meats from Los Pedroches, as well as almonds, pine nuts, saffron, honey, spices and citron. All the richness of Cordoba's geography has a place in our cuisine, always under the guarantee of its Denomination of Origin.

To accompany each dish, we have a careful selection of wines, with memorable vintages that rest in our cellar in optimal conditions. And for those who wish to prolong the experience, we offer a varied menu of spirits and distillates from the most renowned brands.

We provide our clients with a tasting menuwhere some of our best specialities and seasonal dishes are brought together; a menu of the daywhich, at an affordable price, allows you to enjoy recipes that are representative of our cuisine; and a tapas areaideal for savouring our gastronomy in a more informal and relaxed atmosphere.
