The 15 best desserts and snacks in Tarifa

Small, lovingly decorated vegan & vegetarian restaurant A truly charming little place – thoughtfully and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The food was sensational – full of flavor, creative, and beautifully presented. A big plus: everything is vegan or vegetarian! We’ll definitely be coming back – it’s absolutely worth a visit. Little tip: try the soap in the restroom – it smells amazing! 😊

Lovely team, always friendly :) we had starters, main dish and a dessert. All vegan, all good. The onion pakora is better than in some Indian restaurants. Everything’s made with fresh and clean integrients. Absolute must visit as a vegan in Tarifa ✌🏻

Chilimosa in Trifa is a fantastic find! As a vegetarian, I was delighted by the creative and flavorful dishes on offer. It's clear that they put a lot of love and thought into their menu, with options that go beyond the usual veggie fare. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the positive experience. If you're looking for delicious vegetarian food in Trifa, Chilimosa is a must-visit! P.S. the Katsu Curry was a highlight!

Lovely restaurant but very small get there early for a table or you will have to wait. The bhajis are a must to try! 95% authentic. I think they need to add a bit more coriander, asofotedia ginger and garlic. With coriander seeds and ajwain and it would be 100% authentic. We ordered a burger which was nice but the bread roll was way too dry and would have tasted better on a brioche bun. The sextant kebab was delicious The vegan lasagne was that great. The carrot cake it lovely. I would have ordered the curry next time because it is cooked freshly in the kitchen.

The nachos with the chili sin carne - wow! Also the other dishes were great, cooked with love. Happy place for veg and vegans. Just the space itself is a bit small and the atmosphere could be lighter. Still, worth a visit

Wow! Amazing food and lovely staff! We loved everything, highly recommend

There are generally not many vegetarian restaurants or dishes available in Spain, so we came here. It is very cozy, the food is really good, and the service is attentive. A lovely place for vegetarians!

We spent some time in Tarifa at the end of April, beginning of May. We had done a little research on where we wanted to eat and Surla was on our list. We were not disappointed. Surla was close to our accommodation so we ate there more than once,enjoying lunch, breakfast and afternoon drinks and cake. The food is excellent, portion sizes very generous and we felt they offered extremely good value for money. The serving staff are welcoming, knowledgeable and always friendly. You may have to wait a little for a table but it will be worth it!

Best breakfast of tarifa and good portions. Love the acai bowls, but tostadas (salmon and mushroom) are also good. We come back every year:)

The coffee is fantastic and the staffs are also very helpful and friendly. The price-quantity ratio is wonderful! Highly recommend the croque poché! We even got a second round of coffee

If your in tarifa try out this place menu is different with something for everyone all delicious we've already been twice

Brilliant açai bowl! Packed with lots of fruit, and the homemade peanut butter was delicious.

Very glad i discovered it during the short stay in Tarifa, absolutely perfect for a morning coffee, nice Company, very friendly Staff. Knew at my second visit which coffee i ordered the firdt time, very cool!

Surla is the best breakfast spot in Tarifa. The fruit bowls are delicious and the coffees well done. You won't have space for the eggs but also worth trying. The only thing about it is that as great as it is, I think prices are generous for a breakfast spot - typically a bill of at least €20. Do you leave happy? Yes, at a slight but worthy cost.

Quant little bar which has been built into one of the ancient towers of this lovely historic town. Live Flamenco each Thursday is well worth getting there early for.

Beautiful place right inside the old city wall. Staff is very friendly, the coctails are really nice. The caipiriña was the best I had. Thursday flamengos are a great experience with local artists.

So, we didn't eat there...but the service and care are amazing, even when the place is as packed as a great day's catch in a tiny trawler. The stars come out when the flamenco gets going. Make sure you find out when. You'll witness greatness from the pros and fin, fun, fun from the locals who get up and have a crack. You? You'll sit down and admire them, and yourself for not letting the cheap drinks persuade you that you're up for a crack on the floor. The locals, there and in the local hospital will also be forever grateful.

OMG this place! A great class of cava, a phenomemal flamenco show, friendly bartender and owner, and a great atmosphere. What more could you want?! I was there two nights ago and am planning my day so I can return today. On flamenco nights, get there early for a seat. You will love it!

Great place for drinks and food. Also nice live music (flamenco sessions). Great service and the terasse in the stairs Is a must try 🙌

If you are passing by tarifa, don’t miss this place for a great flamenco show … good sangria… Small place so try to arrive early if you want to have a sit and enjoy the show.

The best flamenco I've ever seen! Fabulous little place, great atmosphere. The amazing show was completely free of charge, a rare find! Will definitely be going back ♥️

Based on the reviews we chose this place "in a pinch". Let's start with the good: the service was friendly + fast and the fried baby squids and leg of lamb were very tasty. Unfortunately the Lamb Chobs were a big disappointment: it looked and tasted boiled, even though it was supposed to be grilled. The dessert coffee was quite good

This is an average south of spain restaurant prototype, nothing special. Basic food with basic taste. The service was kind with us and the environment is okey. Restaurant is located close to the center town.

Seafood soup is absolutely disgusting. The first time I couldn't finish paella. Frozen seafood. The sauce is really bad... And extremely overpriced for this quality ..You can easily get poisoned.. The place is good only for drinks

We ordered spaghetti at the restaurant for take away. A bolognese and carbonara. The service was quick and staff was nice, but the result of the food was terrible. To start with the worst: the bolognese smelled disgusting. As if the meat had been heated up several times. The meat was mushy in a negative way and tasted like it smelled. It was inedible. Salt and pepper was necessary for the carbonara. Also, all the cream that had been used was separated from the oil and not emulsified. Although it didn't smell like spoiled meat, the portion was half as small as the bolognese (not as shown in the photo, we already ate it). I would NOT RECOMMEND any of these pastas. If the rest is as bad as the pastas, I would not recommend the restaurant. How hard is it to make a pasta that you don't want to throw away?

I think a picture is worth a 1000 words. Whereas the service is good and atmosphere is lovely, what's on the picture is, in the opinion of the reataurant, espresso machiatto and Spanish omelette. I would call it coffee-fkavired milk and frozen potatoes with eggs on top, warmed up on the skillet

Morilla - Very nice place in the middle of the old town, in the city center. Delicious food and very nice service in this spanish restaurant. Menu del dia is cheap and just excellent. Served by efficent and friendly waiters. Crowded at lunchtime but even lots of locals in the evening. We really enjoyed our visit. The staff was really kind and helpful and everything we ordered was tasty and fresh. Great location. Very spanish, very friendly and very tasty! Fish dishes are higly recomended.

Nice spot in the middle of Tarifa. Food is fresh and good. Selection of tapas and main meals. Service is quick too.

The restaurant is located behind the church in a narrow street just a few steps away from the more lively area. It was too chilly to eat outside. The lady was helpful and friendly. The restaurant is missing some ambiance. The portions of the main dish are not big so luckily we started dinner with a starter. Food is okay but we expected a more typical and spicy experience. They serve automatically a sweet mint tea after dinner.

We had the off-season luxury of having the whole restaurant for ourselves for a good half an hour. The service is very kind and polite and there is a street cat coming to get his daily food, which we love. There is some sort of simbiosis happening in this place, pretty magical. We had the tagine tuna and the tagine lamb and they were both fantastic. I would 100% recommend the lamb especially. If you are also someone who doesnt eat a LOT, then maybe skip the bread with falafel and hummus cause we couldnt finish all the food afterwards… the falafel were however, very crunchy and tasty! Thank you!

Absolutely delicious !!! This charming restaurant offers a variety of food. Moroccan dishes are super tasty, try Chicken cuscus and stuffed Eggplants. And there’re choices, which are not Moroccan as well . We ordered Grilled Boletus, seasonal mushrooms, and were served Porcini !!!! Service is very attentive, atmosphere outdoors is romantic - the tables are spread along the ancient town wall. We will definitely come back 🩷

We had a tuna tajine and chicken couscous and both were delicious. The falafel platter was really good. Wonderful ambience and great service.

Incredible place! Everything we tasted was so good. Highly recommend it.

Absolutely recommend. Food was incredible and the service even better. I really appreciated the attention to the customer and recommendations from the waiter. We ordered and loved (photos below): - Falafel - Marinated eggplant - tajin with artichokes - tajin with lamb If you are looking to try something different, go here

Very nice dinner in this great restaurant in Tarifa old town but very quiet. Nice terasse, super gentle service from our waiter and the veggy Tajine was fabulous, as good as falafels we had for 1st dish. A must go place when in Tarifa 🙌

Amazing food and experience. Not only is the setting quite nice, and the atmosphere being so close to the beach, but the food was excellent. We ordered the ensaladilla, the fruit salad and tree different homemade pasta dishes, and everything was superb. Flavorful, al dente and full of nutty flavors. We also ordered a crepe for dessert, and I’d never tried a better vegan one. Absolutely recommend it and we’ll visit again soon.

10/10 on the food. The best vegetarian food I ate in Tarifa. I had the Ravioli and it was absolutely delicious. One of those meals you eat and think about after. Makes me wish I lived in Tarifa to be nearer to this fabulous restaurant. Service was also good and server was friendly. Located near to the beach. A must visit for any vegetarian whilst in Tarifa. Even if not a vegetarian, this restaurant will deliver great tasting food that will make you realise you don't need meat and fish to make tasty meals. Vegan options are also available.

Dear Brio Team We visited your wonderful and charming restaurant yesterday, and it was a sensational culinary discovery! The exquisite food with its new vegan recipes delighted us – it was simply outstanding. For us, it was the discovery in Tarifa. A true explosion of flavors – from the starter to the dessert, every dish amazed us. A real festival of delicious, refined dishes! Anyone who loves vegan cuisine should definitely visit this restaurant – highly recommended. The service was also exceptionally friendly and helpful – we would like to express our heartfelt thanks for that. A special thank-you to Javier for the excellent recommendation! When we return to Tarifa, we will definitely come back. Warmest regards Martine and Sebastian

Fantastic food as always. No processed ingredients which I loved. Especially the ravioli blew me away.

This place is close to the beach, it has a huge menu where all the vegetarian options can be veganized, the food is prepared and served with great care (and it's yummy!), the cakes are all vegan... Wow! I would certainly recommend the Panzerotti (fried pizza dough stuffed with veggies and cheese) and the home made ravioli. The cold pumpkin appetizer is to die for. There are baby seats and the bathroom is equipped to change babies.

A wonderful niche spot to eat in Tarifa! The menu was big and the food was just phenomenal. Outstanding restaurant because of the Bio/Vegan food there, which is rare at the area. The waitress was really friendly and her English was good as well. The spot near the playa was beautiful and not to busy/loud. Definitely a recommendation for everyone who wants to eat not just the typical Spanish food.

Enjoyed a lovely dinner here, the food was excellent and presented with little extras to pair flavours and a desire to make a memorable meal for all the right reasons. Well worth a visit even if you are not a vegan but simply craving some fresh experiences and a change from the typical chiringuito menu.

Best vegan ice cream I've ever had. Have been 3 times already and each different vegan flavour was so delicious

Amazing ice cream! Service correct, not special! But you come for the ice cream;)

Delicious creamy ice cream, great original flavours. I had 2 times pistachio/caramel and coffee, they were really delicious. Best ice cream in Tarifa!

A few days ago we visited the cafe hoping for original Sicilian products, Unfortunately we ordered granita, which was not similar to sicilian granita at all, it was just crashed ice with lemon juice. We also ordered a traditional canollo tube, which turned out to be filled with spoiled sour ricotta - we had to throw it in the trash. We do not recommend this place. The service also left much to be desired. The place opened late that day and we walked in this direction of town specifically to get there and it was not open long after 2 pm according to schedule. The place has nothing to do with the flavors of Sicily and the sicilian atmosphere. So it shouldn't advertise as one.

Most delicious ice cream in Tarifa! Even a "simpler" flavour like Vaniglia was amazing! Staff is super friendly. Only point, you need to eat your ice very quickly as it's melting otherwise over your hand - but I guess that shouldn't be a problem ;-)

Who has ever eaten RED VELVET ICE CREAM 😍🥰?! What an amazing flavors, I think the best ice cream in the south of Spain! Come and enjoy all the different tastes of ice cream here in Tarifa. Love the location, middle of the centre. But hurry... for else it will melt in the sun.

In my opninions the best ice cream place in Tarifa with great toppings!

I’ve tried the cherry and pistachio flavors and they were both very delicious. Although I’ve tried better ones in Tarifa. Still, recommended.

Pricey, overpricey. For a small portion picked with standard ice cream spoon. That was disapointing for 4€. (i was sure we have overpriced ice cream in Bratislava, 3€, but small portion is much more bigger than here) Taste was good.

I'm often mocked for always choosing vanilla ice cream when their's usually a few wild and different flavours, but if you can't do vanilla right I'm not interested in whatever else is on offer, so in 45 years I've tried a hell of a lot of vanilla ice cream, and Casa Del Gelato in Tarifa is by far the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had in my entire life absolutely transcendent. I even went back to sample the Oreo (also by far the best fusion I've tried) and of course went back for more vanilla ❤️

Gelato lovers are a peculiar bunch. We want flavour, but texture is so much of the equation. Here, some of the flavours sing, and some of the textures, but rarely simultaneously. It's a good place. Just not a great place.

Best ice cream in Tarifa!!! All sorts that we took were excellent, made with real milk and good ingredients. It is a must to taste when în Tarifa.

Helado buenisimo!! Great service, delicious flavours and very cute spot. Must go to!

Really lovely gelato. I had the chocolate and it was so silky with a deep rich flavour

New to town and was hunting a supermarket within walking distance where I could pick up everything we needed for our time here. Walked past several on Google maps which were not sufficient until I found this one. Friendly service, good produce and reasonable prices.

Excellent service, prices and quality of their brand products! Don't forget to get the Dia card, only takes a minute and you get special offers for products you like! Also you get a keyring mini card which means that if you lose your keys, chances are they will call you to return them!

Quite big but not tue biggest. Clean and organized. Has a very good selection of everything. Made myself a nice sandwich with way more jamon at the fraction of the price of the shops.

I find Día location convenient and fresh produce , selection on meats dairy produce condiments etc for last minute shopping. Walking distance from beach area. The staff there are friendly to non Spanish people .

Super cheap grocery store! They had many gluten free items - chips, muffins, bread, crackers etc

Great selection

Has all you need

The Lady was really kind and explained all the options, i tried the empanada de atún and palmera de chocolate. It was so good we went back to buy more! Best gluten free pastry shop i have tried, and i will definitely be coming back!

Excellent service and huge selection. Loved every bite.

Probably not a place to pop in spontaneously, as there were only two things available (Cookies and Donuts) Both were very lovely!

I have been gluten-free for almost 20 years and this is the best bread I have ever had. Absolutely incredible, will come back many many times

Very very delicious!!!!! Amazing glutenfree bakery, cookies, cake, bread, Christmas cookies, Ciabatta,... And a very friendly woman!!! I can highly recommend! Thank you Ecobakery Gluten Free!

The best bakery store in the world that I have ever come across.I was checking Google to deliver a birthday cake to a friend in Tarifa when I stumbled through eco bakery. The staff is extremely co-operative,genuine and helpful. Fernando, the store in charge is the most patient man I have ever come across and is just amazing.Best gluten free store that has wide range of breads,cakes and pies and prices are very reasonable. Doesn't matter where in the world you are you can still have a cake delivered to your loved ones in Tarifa through these guys. Easy payment options and best services ever. If you visit Tarifa and don't visit this place then you are missing on something big!!😊😊

Excellent!!!! Delicious gluten free baked pastries and bread , I highly recommend it 👌👌

Wow. I had one of the best pastries ever, it was amazing, thank you!

As a cake shop owner in Madrid, I can say this is probably one of the best confiterías I have visited in Spain. I had a selection of the moorish sweets as well as their popular ones. The red fruit tartelet was amazing, the "tranvia" hojaldre was very nice, there was another tartelet made with the leftovers of tranvia.....also spectacular. Highly recommend visiting this place!

Great cake shop with lots to choose from. The macaroons were amazing and I wish I have bought more! I could easily eat more than half the shop! The service was friendly and professional.

Well loved local establishment. Exquisite Millehojas with perfect layers of flaky delight and tiramisu is so refine with shop made sponge coffee cake under the delightful fresh whipped cream and chocolate sprinkle. Finger licking good!

Best flan I’ve had 🤗

Excellent shop, they have the best palm tree pastries I’ve ever had.

La Tarifena is a great place to buy pastries, cakes, Moroccan delicacies and donuts, as well as freshly-baked breads and rolls. Today it was so crowded I didn't go inside, but yesterday I looked around and noticed La Tarifena also sells honey, marmalades and they all looked good, but were a little overpriced. But do expect delicious food and all fresh.

A nice place with goodies. Delicious sandwiches, especially with sun-dried tomatoes. Delicious flatbreads and cakes. Friendly staff and fast service. It's great that there is a place to sit in the shade)

We stumbled upon this place when we first arrived in Tarifa. Thought it was a small bakery but it turns out it is a full restaurant bar with a great atmosphere. Whether inside or out you can have different experiences. Inside is warm and cozy, out side you can experience the plaza and watch the many people go by. The pastries and coffee are delicious and seem to change everyday. The staff are amazing, teaching us a bit of Spanish every time we went in. Love it here. Our go to place for coffee and treats.

Got in this place by mistake as I was wondering the old town of Tarifa Spain, It just feels so relaxing , welcomed, invited to taste those delicious “postres” with a late. I will return here 100% Enjoy

Omg one of the best bakeries I’ve been to in Spain and I’ve been in a LOT. The quality of the pastry here is fresh and crisp, quite light, and the fillings aren’t overwhelmingly sweet for the most part. Great cappuccino, street seating only.

Lovely spot, protected from levante, birds and trees surround the tables...good food, good Coffee, If you are Lucky the wonderful Nadya will be working and bring the experience to another level!!! Exceptionnal waitress full of joy and warmth! When she is not there....the Soul of terrasse is missing. ....will be back

I had a lovely cappuccino here. They do not have gluten-free/friendly options. But my coffee was delicious. Thank you.

I don't know how to check your product but I got a pastry totally off and old. I felt sick from it. Also please add prices to your product, its pretty basic to do. Unless you like people not to know....

Ice cream was creamy, sweet, and just perfect.

Delicious

(Translated by Google) The ice creams are very good. We tried the rice pudding one and the vineyard cheesecake one with strawberries and the chocobons and oreo one. €3 per medium tub. Super recommended, we will try them again if we return to the rate. out of 10 (Original) Los helados buenísimos. Probamos el de arroz con leche y el de tarta de queso de la viña con fresas y el de chocobons y oreo. 3€ por tarrina mediana. Súper recomendable, volveremos a probarlos si volvemos a tarifa. De 10

(Translated by Google) The ice cream was very watery, tasteless, and very little quantity, the tub was empty inside. There are many better ice cream shops in Tarifa with better quality and quantity. In conclusion, the employee doesn't know what she's got. (Original) Helado muy aguado, sin sabor y muy poca cantidad , tarrina vacía por dentro. Hay muchas heladerías mejores en tarifa con mejor calidad y cantidad. Para terminar la trabajadora no sabe lo que tiene.

(Translated by Google) Delicious ice cream!!! Natural from real fruit and made on site :) Some of the flavors are the ideas of the lovely owner. I tried "malagueña tart" and "cacao africano con higos", both delicious. The offer also includes fresh juices and ice cocktails. I can't wait to go back there. I highly recommend it (Original) Pyszne lody !!! Naturalne z prawdziwych owoców i wyrabiane na miejscu :) Niektóre smaki to pomysły przemiłej pani właścicielki.Ja z próbowałem "tarta malagueña" i "cacao africano con higos" obydwa przepyszne. W ofercie także świeże soki i koktajle lodowe. Już się nie mogę doczekać kiedy tam wrócę. Gorąco polecam

(Translated by Google) We arrived at the ice cream parlor guided by Google reviews. And for us the ice creams are simply good. Of course, the flavors are original, we find palmeritas, twins, happy hippo... but only good ones, not spectacular ones. Prices range from 2 euros to 4.5 euros depending on the size and number of ice cream scoops, so the prices are somewhat high, although not more than the rest of the ice cream parlors in the area. (Original) Llegamos a la heladería guiados por las reseñas de google. Y para nosotros los helados están buenos simplemente. Eso sí los sabores son originales, encontramos de palmeritas, de twins, de happy hippo... pero solo buenos no espectaculares. Los precios desde 2 euros hasta 4,5 euros dependiendo del tamaño y del número de bolas de helado, por lo que de precios son algo elevados aunque no más que el resto de heladerias de la zona.

(Translated by Google) I ordered a lemon pie ice cream recommended by the girl, it was actually good, it wasn't bad, but to my surprise there was a worm...my partner and I were amazed by a worm!!! And that cannot be allowed (Original) Pedí un helado de tarta de limón recomendado por la chica la verdad estaba bueno, no estaba malo, pero para mi sorpresa había un gusano ...mi pareja y yo flipamos un gusano!!! Y eso no se puede permitir

Paolo and his wife make amazing icecream with special flavours they create. Friendly service from Paolo. Hoping to return many times to try more flavours.

Nice ice creams, from locals, very fair price. Cool.

The icecream is delicious and the owner is a very friendly and kind lady!

Very good ice cream and prices, recommended

Very good

Good icecream for a good price.

(Translated by Google) We went as a group to have ice cream. The flavor is delicious, the girl who serves you is not rude, but it is true that the customer service is not very good. So if you simply want to enjoy ice cream and don't mind the treatment, this is your ice cream shop, because the flavor is very good:) (Original) Fuimos un grupo a tomarnos un helado. El sabor riquísimo, la chica que te atiende no es borde, pero es cierto que el servicio de cara al público no es muy bueno. Así que si simplemente quieres disfrutar del helado y no te importa el trato esta es tu heladería, porque el sabor es muy bueno:)

Awful place. Owner smoking near doors :)) where a lot of kids. Bad experience. Try to avoid. They try to change name of g llateria, looks like because of bad reviews. But we wont forget them 😀💩

Best ice cream I've ever tasted and the lady who helped us was super kind and helpful (maybe new staff? Not sure what happened with other reviews). The cones have a special taste to them, maybe cinammon? Super tasty. All 5 flavours we tried (us and our kids) were extremely good. Hugely recommended!!

One star as is not open at the times they give. 13:34 Tuesday. Will change if get a chance to try their ice cream

Best deserts after nice meal at Bar El Frances

Maybe time for a career change if you can’t be bothered to answer a couple of simple questions from a customer. Very rude and apathetic.

Very rude staff. Won't recommend this place

(Translated by Google) The ice cream was very cold and when we went outside it was already dripping. The same thing happened to the other customers who arrived. The girl who attended was very unfriendly and serious. An unpleasant experience. I will not return, in Tarifa there are better options. (Original) El helado estaba muy poco frío y al salir a la calle ya chorreaba. Lo mismo le ocurría a los otros clientes que llegaban. La chica que atendía era muy poco simpática y seria. Una experiencia poco agradable. No volveré, en Tarifa hay mejores opciones.
