Sancho Original
Sancho Original is a neighborhood restaurant in Granada's center that has operated for nearly 35 years, offering homestyle cooking. The current owner Serafín Jiménez sources seasonal ingredients from the nearby Mercado de San Agustín and prepares everything in-house using recipes passed down from his family.
The restaurant started in the 1980s as a simple family-run cafe founded by the previous generation. Under Serafin Jimenez's management, it has maintained its traditional roots while gradually introducing modern cooking techniques to enhance its dishes.
The name reflects the restaurant's role as a neighborhood gathering spot where locals experience everyday Granada life. The straightforward decor and casual setup make it a natural extension of the surrounding community, where families and regulars feel at home without pretense.
The restaurant is located on Calle Tablas in the center and is easy to find, with reservations available by phone or Instagram. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered, and the staff is friendly and helpful with dish recommendations.
The restaurant operates two smaller casual burger spots next door, showcasing the owner's commitment to quality by using fresh beef from different breeds in each burger. This expansion reflects how the kitchen experiments with different formats while maintaining the same ingredient standards.
