The Verdict

Paco Morales, a Spanish chef with three Michelin stars for his Noor restaurant in Cordoba, brings a contemporary twist to historical Moorish flavors at his Andalusian-inspired restaurant, Qabu (Arabic for crypt or cellar). The striking interiors are fresh and charming, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden panels that reflect Andalusian architecture, offering a spectacular high-altitude panoramic view of the city’s skyline. Diners can choose between a five-course and a seven-course menu, with a vegetarian option available. The food is beautifully presented and equally delicious, with each dish impressing except for less appealing desserts. This restaurant is definitely worth visiting for special occasions, but whether it will attract regular and frequent visits remains to be seen.
