El Mirador is at calle Callejón, 10, in the upper part of Setenil de las Bodegas, with a glass-walled dining room that looks over the town's rooftops tucked beneath the rock. Since June 2020 it has been run by four partners: David, Jenifer, Miguel and Alejandro. In the kitchen is Miguel Castillo, with more than fifteen years in Costa del Sol restaurants, and the dining room and wine are run by David Delgado, who worked in the United Kingdom and in Chamonix. The house has its own vegetable garden and works with produce from the area: Payoya cheeses, Iberian cured meats, Setenil oil.
Payoya, tuna and oxtail
The current menu, from July 2025, mixes cooking from the Sierra de Cádiz with nods from elsewhere. To start there are cheeses from the sierra — cured, rosemary and aged Payoya goat — and an assortment of Iberian cured meats, at €18 a board; airy cod fritters with ink aïoli (€14), little shrimp fritters with guacamole and prawns (€12), the house Russian salad (€10) or almond and coconut ajoblanco with tuna tartare (€18). There are also pulled-cheek tacos, chicken tikka and Moroccan pastela, at €9 and €14.
Among the mains, tuna with onions in oloroso costs €19, the creamy oxtail rice with mushrooms and valley asparagus €21, Iberian pork cheek €17 and the bull "ingot" in Mirador sauce, shredded oxtail with confit potatoes, €25. For meats, low-temperature leg of suckling lamb (€28), kid chops (€22) or aged beef sirloin (€26). Desserts cost €7 to €8: Cádiz cheesecake, brownie or the Setenil sponge, made with oil and aniseed. With a shared starter, a main and a dessert, count on €35 to €50 per person without wine.
The cellar has its own list with wines from the area, and there is a cocktail menu. The house publishes the allergen table for all the dishes.
A table by the glass
The name comes from the views. If you are going for them, ask for a table by the glass wall when you book, on its website or on 856 941 384. The website does not publish opening hours or closing days, so confirm them when you book, especially on weekdays and out of season.
Walking up from the cave streets
In the upper part of Setenil there is no room to park. Leave the car in the car park and walk up through the cave streets, which is part of the plan; the restaurant is near the keep tower. If you do the Mills trail in the morning, lunch here rounds off this site's Sunday in Setenil.
What to order: the cod fritters, the tuna with onions or the oxtail ingot, and the Setenil sponge for dessert
