The Montilla-Moriles specialist
Taberna El Número 10 has made itself the essential address for anyone wanting to understand Montilla-Moriles wines in Córdoba. Oak barrels against patinated walls, exposed beams, stone alcoves — the atmosphere of a working bodega. The Michelin Guide has listed this address since 2017. The expert sommeliers run guided tastings — the celebrated "Catas de 10" — that take fino, amontillado, and Pedro Ximénez apart flavour by flavour.
The tapas
The kitchen does traditional Córdoban recipes well. The salmorejo arrives thick and velvety, topped with serrano ham and crumbled hard-boiled egg. Berenjenas con miel come crisp from the fryer, drizzled with cane honey that plays against the bitterness of the aubergine. The flamenquín cordobés is among the city's best — breaded pork roll stuffed with ham, properly golden. Those who prefer something slow-cooked turn to the rabo de toro, meat falling off the bone. The croquetas de jamón are creamy classics. At the bar, daily tapas change with market deliveries.
A focused wine list
The list covers D.O. Montilla-Moriles exclusively — a rarity in Córdoba, where most restaurants also stock other regions. The team knows every bottle and guides food-and-wine pairings with confidence. The main room handles dinner, the terrace handles warm Córdoban evenings, and the bar is where regulars drop in for a fino and a few tapas.
