Whether meat or fish lovers, vegetarians or vegans, the autumn-winter menu at Corredera 55, part of the Califa Group in Vejer, has dishes to suit all tastes and budgets.
The restaurant, recently awarded with the Repsol Solete, is located just at the beginning of Corredera street in Vejer and has a beautiful pergola with panoramic views. It is the only restaurant, except El Jardín del Califa, open every day, all day long. This cosy space will accompany diners in their favourite and most special moments, such as an afternoon reading with some wine, a family lunch, a romantic dinner or a get-together with friends.
To whet your appetite, the menu includes “A platter of local cheese from Bolonia made with rosemary and oloroso served with our own orange marmalade made in the restaurant with local oranges”, explains Ellie Cormié, owner of the restaurant. Perfect with a glass of oloroso wine from Bodegas Gallardo in Vejer.
New menu includes other dishes like the baked whole cheese with garlic and rosemary with homemade pear chutney, ham and toast for dipping. The garnish was invented by James Stuart, CEO of the Califa Group. A perfect option to warm you up.
Another popular dish is our local version of Scottish haggis with local black pudding, caramelised onions, mashed potatoes and whisky cream… Ellie’s grandmother’s recipe.
Need instant comfort? Corredera 55 has the best winter soups for warming the body and soul.
Clients will find popular dishes featured across the new Autumn/Winter menu such as the ‘croquetas’ of retinto beef with whisky cream sauce. “I invented these croquettes during the Toro Embolao festivities in 2019, just for the weekend, and they were so popular that we kept them on the menu three years later”.
From the garden the menu add different vegetarian and vegan options, as well as recipes “ideal for detoxifying the body”. Suggestive proposals such as Ellie’s ‘cassoulet’ with vegetable meatballs, beans, red, green and yellow peppers, red onion and herbed potatoes in an aromatic tomato sauce.

Flavorful and light are the winter salads like the salmon salad baked in mustard with a warm ginger vinaigrette and herbed potatoes.
From the sea, the menu includes one of the favourite dishes in winter, the fried fish platter with rocket and ali-oli, “perfect to enjoy with a beer”. And not to be missed are the guiso del Mar – a seafood stew of hake, mussels, prawns, potatoes and tomato sauce with saffron and garlic
Meat lovers will find new dishes like the oloroso marinated pork cheeks braised for 4 hours with apricots, prunes & almonds.
