The smart choice in the city centre
El Astronauta draws students, budget-conscious travellers, and anyone who wants flavourful food without a heavy bill. This colourful bistro moves between Spain and the Middle East on the same menu. The prices are hard to match anywhere in the city centre.
House-made falafels
The falafels are the signature dish. Crispy outside from a good batter, soft and fragrant within. They come with silky house-made hummus, a creamy tahini sauce, and warm pitta bread. The mezze platter lets you sample a range.
A serious vegetarian menu
Vegetarian food here is a decision, not a default. Several vegan dishes too. The fresh goat's cheese salad with walnuts and honey, reinvented tapas, daily soup — all change with what is fresh that week.
The set lunch
The €10 lunch menu — starter, main, dessert, and drink — is one of the better value deals in Córdoba. Carnivores eat well here too: gourmet burgers and marinated grilled meats are on the same card. The terrace is pleasant. The atmosphere is relaxed. Spending wisely in Córdoba is easier than most visitors expect, and El Astronauta is part of the reason.
