The grill · Granada
Since 1979, Mesón Alegría has been Granada's quintessential grill house. Aged meats cooked over holm-oak charcoal, right in the centre of Granada, a step from the Isabel la Católica Theatre.
The embers
Our oven has burned holm-oak charcoal since 1995. Holm oak gives a slow, intense, clean ember that sears the meat outside and keeps it juicy inside, with a smokiness you can't get any other way.
Every cut is grilled in sight of the fire, cooked exactly to each guest's taste. It is the heart of the mesón and the reason Granada knows us as the home of charcoal-grilled meat.
The meat
We work with aged mature beef, marbled chuletón, suckling lamb and Iberian cuts. Meat selected piece by piece and served by weight, so every table eats exactly what it wants.
Served with our migas, oil-toasted bread and homemade desserts, it is the food that has defined Granada for over four decades.

Mesón Alegría is at Calle de las Moras 4, in central Granada city, next to the Isabel la Católica Theatre and five minutes from the Cathedral. The whole area is pedestrian.
