The menu
Meat over the fire, recipes that never change
Selected meats, recipes that don't change, produce from the land — cooked the way Carmen taught us. Holm-oak charcoal, deep plates, long tables. What you see is what we serve.
Each dish keeps its Spanish name underneath. From wherever you come, just point — the waiter will understand.

The menu, in short
Questions about the Mesón Alegría menu in Granada
The Mesón Alegría menu, at Calle de las Moras 4 in Granada, is built around meat on the stone and over holm-oak charcoal: suckling lamb chops, mature beef, chuletón, grilled octopus and the traditional Granada dishes.
What is the signature dish?
Meat on the stone is the flagship of the house. Alongside it, suckling lamb chops — among the best in Andalusia —, mature beef over the embers, chuletón on the stone and grilled octopus, all cooked in the two holm-oak charcoal ovens we lit in 1995.
Are there traditional Granada dishes on the menu?
Yes, they have a section of their own: Sacromonte omelette, broad beans with ham and remojón granaíno, among others. These are recipes we keep exactly as Manuel and Carmen taught them.
Is the meat served by weight?
Some cuts are. On the menu you will see items marked "by weight" and others as "ask the staff", because they depend on the piece we have that day. The waiter tells you the price before the order goes to the kitchen.
Are there options without meat?
Yes. The menu has a salad section plus cold and hot starters, including grilled vegetables. If you have an allergy or dietary restriction, tell us when you book on +34 958 04 91 71.
Is the menu translated?
Yes. You can read it in Spanish, English, French, German, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Every dish also carries its Spanish name underneath: if you are visiting, just point at it and the waiter will understand.
Are the wines on this same menu?
No, the wines have their own separate list: full-bodied reds to go with the grill, Andalusian whites and wineries from the province of Granada.
