Baños Árabes de Santa Maria

A unique atmosphere with delicious food and flamenco show made this a special night out while visiting Córdoba.

Wonderful little restaurant in the center of Cordoba with delicious tapas and amazing Flamenco. Absolutely reccomended! The staff was super nice and welcoming and the atmosphere was gorgeous.

I have visited Cordoba a few times and always wanted to see the flamenco show here. This time we made a reservation and were able to get in. We ate dinner and watched the Flamenco show and it was an awesome experience! Such a unique and intimate location for a great dinner and a very good flamenco show. The food was amazing, everyone had a great view of the show and it was really well done. I worried it might be too loud in a smaller space but it was not. The acoustics were great. I cannot say enough good about the food and show but the icing on the cake was Magda and Juanma who were so kind and gave us great service. They explained the history of the location and were very fun and gracious. I would highly recommend making a reservation and enjoying the experience. This is a must do in Cordoba.

Beautiful and amazing Flamenco show in a 10th century arab bath…food was delicious!

This place is an absolute gem! It is a historic hammam, some parts still in tact over 1000 years old!! The owner Magdalena is so nice and will tell you the history of the building. Sie spricht sogar deutsch :) Must go for a coffee or some food and i believe they have a flamenco show in the evenings!

This was a unique and fantastic experience! We stopped for a quiet drink in the day and then came back for flamenco in the evening. The musicians, dancing and atmosphere was amazing, everyone was happy and very well looked after by Magda and Luca.

This place is unique and has a lot of history. The food is authentic, and the flamenco singer, dancer, and guitarist are exceptional. As a Spanish, I loved the experience much more than any flamenco show for tourists. I recommend this place 300%. We especially thank Rafael for making us feel as if we were at home. We will definitely come back.

A beautiful and atmospheric place, with good food. The flamenco show added to its charm. The service was also great. Greetings to Gonazalo and Lucas.

Very lovely & intimate experience with a wonderful show and delicious food. Gonzalo was a great host too. Would love to go back!

Very poor and rude service. We sat down, after being ignored for over 10 minutes, and the staff wasn’t particularly busy, we asked for menu, order some drinks, wait more time, and then the waiter call me from behind to pass us the drinks. I am not your friend, I am a paying customer, I want to be served as such. After this I am not in the mood to spend money where I get treated rudely, go to pay, and at this point the waiter, that has spoken in English to us so far, speaks in a very quick Spanish. I asked if he could speak in English and his answer is that “we are in Spain, you must speak Spanish”. This kink of nationalism is ridiculous. I am Italian and understand quite a bit of Spanish, but not when it’s spoken very fast like he did. My girlfriend left a similar and polite comment and got removed because violating the guidelines. This places that removed bad comments are also very lucky to pay for the good ones.

STAY AWAY! I had the rudest experience with this restaurant. I would never go back and recommend tourists to stay away!! I was walking by with my daughter and from the door way you can see it is a very interesting space. However, there are numerous hand-written signs all over the front door saying "private space," "no pictures allowed without a consumición.," and "preguntar." Since I was interested and there was no one in the front room area, I walked in to inquiry what the space was and to see if maybe we wanted to eat/drink something. I purposely put my phone away so it didn't appear I was trying to take pictures inappropriately. As I made my way towards the interior room a man (waiter? owner?) came out and rudely asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted to take a look (to see if I wanted to stay and get something.) He immediately started yelling at me to read the door and the place wasn't a public space. Surprised by his tone, I said that I understood that it wasn't a public space and the photos weren't allowed without a consumicion, but that it also said to ask inside, which was exactly what I was doing to see if maybe we wanted to take a seat. I could not believe how dramatic and over the top he got yelling at me that I needed to read the door. Now, I am bilingual in Spanish and English and I understood the signs on the door. When I tried to calmly explain that I had no intent of taking pictures, I simply wanted to see the space to decide if I wanted to get a drink, he continued to yell rudely at me and escorted me to the door. I could not believe his behavior to a potential client. I'm now not surprised how empty the place was. If he was an employee, he should be fired! He is destroying your business because not only did he completely ruin the chance that I would have sat down and purchased something along with my daughter and her friend, but I will never go back and I will tell everyone I know traveling to Cordoba to STAY FAR AWAY. And, I happen to have a lot of connections to travel to Cordoba and have had a working relationship with the Departamento de Cultura in Cordoba previously. Now, if this was the owner of the locale, then, nothing is needed because he will drive his business into the ground all by himself. It was absolutely the most anti-tourist and anti-hospitality behavior I have ever found in my numerous trips to Córdoba. **UPDATE - I did reach out to the owner after her invitation for a phone call. She was extremely kind, professional, and understanding. She explained that the guy who was there when this happened had been a temporary employee and has been let go. She apologized profusely for his behavior and has encouraged me to come back and give it another try. I am very happy and impressed with her response to this situation. I am glad that she dealt with the situation swiftly and appropriately. I applaud her for watching out for her business. All in all, I would give it another try and I would recommend others do as well. I am not deleting my original review because I think it is an important testimony to how such reviews can be handled in an appropriate and professional manner and that speaks positively to the quality of the management. Whenever I get the chance to go back, I promise to leave a new review.

Great Architecture with a good quality Flamenco. Enjoy the drinks and food with the performance

Very poor service. I had a confirmed reservation for 1/5/24 only to find on arrival an unapolgetic greeter telling me I could not be accommodated in the restuarant. Thankfully I was able to spend my money elsewhere.

A very special place. We tried many different dishes. some for sharing. My preference was the smoked sardines. The rabo de toro was also popular in our group of 11.

Spectacular restaurant where everything is thought of in detail. Where the customer service is absolutely perfect, the place is unbeatable and the food is exquisite. Our waitress was named Laura

Super interesting little restaurant. It's in the remain of some Arabic baths. The pillars are original and date back to Roman times, each one worth millions of euros (on the black market) or a chance to take coffee and tapas amidst ancient history. Staff are super friendly and informative.

A real find. An intimate space, mainly an old moorish bath house with Roman elements. Magda and Gonzalo are super kind and friendly Authentic Flamenco in a small 30 person space on Friday and Saturday nights - bookings vital - € 10 cash deposit, they give you that back when you arrive and I recall a minimum of only € 20 per person on Food and Drinks

Majdalina and Conzalo are the best in Cordoba, Do not miss this place, Best food and service I have seen so far in EU, Friendly, welcoming and they did their best to let me have a special night with Flamingos show. The grilled fish and Vegetables test so delicious 😋 Highly recommend. Regards, Fadi/the Berliner😉

A very cosy restaurant in an old Arabic bathhouse. Food was good but what really made the place stand out was the attentive service of Magdalena and Gonzalo. Also the Flamenco on Saturday was very good.

Very nice show, good food and very nice service. Really worth a visit

It's an unforgettable experience! The location is a IV Roman house then converted to a X century Hamman. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Magdalena is a widerful host explaining all details of the house and show The flamenco show was mesmerizing!! Wonfergul dancer guitar and singer!!

Enjoyed a wonderfull flamenco show , with a tasty dinner. Place forgotten in time , with a flavour of old,real history and arhitecture. Small and cosy.

Wonderful experience, nice people and good food.

Lola y maleni are really nice people

We had an incredible experience! The food and drink are wonderful! The atmosphere is historic and fantastic! The hosts did all they could to make us feel welcome and to have a lovely time!

One thing we loved about this restaurant was its atmosphere. It feels like you are eating in a cave. There are nice pillars and tables. Comfortable chairs for any size. The food was also delicious but too salty. You could see the crystals on the food. The gentleman was very caring and helpful. The prices are fair.

This restaurant is a hidden gem right in the historic center of Cordoba. The atmosphere is unbeatable, it’s like going back in time to medieval Spain. The food is also excellent. The chef is very passionate and some of the recipes on the menu are almost 1000 years old! We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Very cozy place and good food and fast service for the price. Our waitress Lucia was very kind and patient.

Very beutiful place with very cheaps shots, only 2 euro, i like very much. I would highly recomend to visiting this resturant. Ask for Lucia, she is the best waitress in the world, she is beutiful, welcoming and nice. She fought i would pee in a hole in the resturant but she was friendly about that. Also she pouerd 7 shots with the use of 700ml Absoult Vodka. And we got drinks with 330ml vodka and 330ml fanta for the price of 6 euro. Lucia also spoke fluent English who is good when you are a tourist. Would love to see you again. Best wishes, the group friends from Sweden.

Beautiful setting. We had some lovely tea.

What a delightful experience. The customer service provided by Ismail was amazing ( give this man a raised 😊) . The food he offered and the Blue Tea he prepared was the main character. The interest tour he gave us . This is A MUST place to visit in Cordoba !!! Good luck and wish you the best !!!!

Stunning place! The restaurant is uniquely designed and we really enjoyed sitting in the :) place. The waiter Ismael was very nice
