CASA TINO

& SINÓNIMO

«Si de café tienes ganas, Tino abre a las cinco de la mañana» — if it is coffee you are after, Tino opens at five. The Cádiz Carnival sang it. Today's kitchen comes from that 1948 breakfast house.

Our story

In La Viña since 1948

  1. 1948

    Tino de la Luz and Manuela Bolaño open in La Viña before dawn, for those heading out to sea. The breakfast house earned its own carnival couplet: «Si de café tienes ganas, Tino abre a las 5 de la mañana» — if it is coffee you are after, Tino opens at five.

  2. 1992

    Their son Antonio and his wife, Eva, take over. They build up what the kitchen offers while keeping the same essence.

  3. 1998

    We grew to seat more people without losing the soul of the place: the same traditional fire, only with more tables to share.

  4. 2022

    The vegan and gluten-free menus arrive: in this house, everyone eats well.

  5. 2023

    We open Sinónimo across the street. The same Casa Tino cooking, now with more room, cultural events and live talks.

«Fuimos a cenar y nos gustó mucho todo. Además, los platos vienen cargaditos. No es el sitio más barato, pero está bien de precio para la calidad. El servicio es muy bueno, muy atentos todxs y cuidan mucho detalles. En el baño por ejemplo había enjuague bucal, pasta de dientes, colonia... Estaba todo muy limpio.»
