If you have had enough ham and fried aubergine for one trip, or you live here and fancy something Granada does not normally offer, the plan for Friday 13 November is an evening of Alsatian food at ANDA Cowork. A Taste of Alsace runs from 20:00 to 23:00, a ticket costs 5 euros, and it is run by Winstub Granada, a project led by the Strasbourg-born chef Alban Freytag. Be clear about what it is: a relaxed buffet for about 40 people across the three hours, in a coworking space, and not the opening of a restaurant, which has no premises yet and targets 2027.
Is the Winstub Granada tasting worth going to? Yes, if you are curious about Alsatian food and happy with an informal evening for 5 euros at Avenida de Andalucía 5. Skip it if you want a seated dinner or a guided wine class. Each person needs a ticket, and the venue is outside the historic centre.
Is this Alsatian tasting in Granada right for you
Go if the price and the novelty appeal more than a polished event, because 5 euros is a small bet. The evening is less suited to anyone who wants a structured class: it is a three-hour buffet you drift through, so the matrix below sorts visitors by what they can count on for Friday 13 November.
What 5 euros buys at A Taste of Alsace
The ticket covers 3 tastes of Alsatian wine, 1 of Crémant, a welcome drink, such as 1664 beer, and a buffet with 4 food stations, with Alban Freytag cooking tarte flambée on the spot. There are vegetarian and vegan options. The last pour is the oddity: an Alsatian wine made for sushi, served with Alsatian snails and smoked trout. These are tasting portions rather than full glasses.
If you have never come across these names, tarte flambée is the French name and flammekueche the Alsatian one for a very thin dough spread with thick cream, topped with onion and smoked bacon, and baked for 3 to 4 minutes in a very hot oven. In Alsace it comes from farms in the Kochersberg, northwest of Strasbourg, and it is often rolled up with the fingers while still hot. Crémant d’Alsace is the region’s sparkling wine, bottle-fermented like Champagne with over 9 months on the lees.

How to reach ANDA Cowork from the station or the Alhambra side
Avenida de Andalucía is a long road, and this is the part most visitors will get wrong. Number 5 sits at the city end, postcode 18014, about 150 metres from Villarejo metro stop on line 1 of the Metropolitano de Granada. There is also a bus stop called “Avenida de Andalucía 5” out in La Chana, 1.6 km further on, and a second number 5 in Cerrillo with postcode 18015. Neither is your destination.
Villarejo is 2 stops from Estación Ferrocarril, 3 from Estación Autobuses and 5 from Recogidas, the closest stop to the centre. A single costs 1.35 euros, which makes a return 2.70 euros and a total night of 7.70 euros with the ticket. From Plaza del Carmen, buses 11 and 21 reach the Avenida de Andalucía 18 stop, about 35 metres from the door. From the Alhambra, come down to Plaza del Carmen first and allow extra time.
Three things save trouble on the night:
- Check the postcode on your map app: it must read 18014.
- Buy a single metro ticket at the stop, 1.35 euros, unless you already hold a Granada transport card.
- Bring your ticket and arrive whenever suits you: the evening runs for three hours, so 20:00 sharp is not essential.
What to do in Granada before or after the tasting
With a buffet and a 23:00 finish, stay to the end only if grazing will do as dinner. If you want a table, leave earlier and head to the bars of Calle Navas, where Los Diamantes at number 28 serves until 23:30, and it is worth knowing how drinks with a tapa work in Granada before you sit down.
Friday services on line 1 run until 2:00, every 15 minutes after 23:00, which also covers a late return to the station area.
If you are in town for a few days, build the evening around a daytime Alhambra visit, since the venue is in the opposite direction from the hill. The next day already looks towards Christmas: in 2025 Granada’s Christmas markets opened on 14 November, and this year’s dates come with the city’s festive programme.
When will Winstub Granada open as a restaurant
There is no opening date. Alban Freytag, born in Strasbourg, trained in Ribeauvillé and worked in Baden-Baden, the French Caribbean, Switzerland and for 8 years in Ireland, then ran The Temple Bar in Benalmádena for 4 years. The project is looking for premises in Granada, ideally with a terrace, and the house treats 2027 as a target that depends on the venue, licences and suppliers. The timeline below shows what is announced and what is only planned.
The Founder Programme is optional and separate from the 5 euro ticket. Tiers run from 10 euros to 500 euros, in exchange for restaurant vouchers, with sales opening in December 2026 at the final prices on the website. Treat it as you would any pre-opening contribution and read the final terms first, including the refund offered if the doors are still closed on 31 December 2028. Once open, the menu planned for 2027 lists a classic tarte at 13 euros, a goat’s cheese and fig version at 14 euros, and Crémant by the glass at 7 euros, all still subject to change.
Frequently asked questions about Alsatian food in Granada
What is A Taste of Alsace in Granada?
A one-off tasting by the Winstub Granada project on Friday 13 November 2026, from 20:00 to 23:00, at ANDA Cowork, Avenida de Andalucía 5. It costs 5 euros per person and includes 3 tastes of Alsatian wine, 1 of Crémant, a welcome drink and a buffet with 4 food stations.
Is there an Alsatian restaurant in Granada?
Not yet. Winstub Granada is a pre-opening project with no address and no table bookings. It is looking for premises, ideally with a terrace, and describes a 2027 opening as a target rather than a guarantee.
How do I get to ANDA Cowork in Granada?
Take line 1 of the Metropolitano de Granada to Villarejo, about 150 metres from the door. It is 2 stops from the train station and 3 from the bus station. A single journey costs 1.35 euros and Friday services run until 2:00.
Is the Winstub Granada tasting a full dinner?
It can stand in for one if you graze: there are 4 buffet stations and tarte flambée made on the spot, but the wines are tasting portions and nobody sits down to a meal. For a proper dinner, leave early, as Los Diamantes on Calle Navas serves until 23:30.
What is the difference between tarte flambée and flammekueche?
None: tarte flambée is the French name and flammekueche the Alsatian one for the same dish. It is a very thin dough with cream, onion and smoked bacon, baked fast in a very hot oven and shared at the table.
What wines come from Alsace?
Alsace is known for wines named after their grape: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc and Muscat, plus Pinot Noir for reds and rosés. The planned Winstub menu lists a Riesling at 24 euros a bottle and a Gewürztraminer at 26 euros. The tasting closes with an Alsatian wine made for sushi, served with snails and smoked trout.
What is a winstub?
A winstub is the traditional tavern of Alsace, somewhere relaxed for regional dishes and local wine. Strasbourg’s tourist office calls it the region’s most typical kind of restaurant. The tasting happens in a coworking space, so it will give you the food and not the setting.
