Holy Week in Córdoba is not only synonymous with processions and religious fervor, but also with a rich culinary tradition steeped in history. During this time of year, the city’s homes and restaurants are filled with aromas and flavors that reflect both the solemnity and festive spirit of the season.
At Posadero Bistro, we pay tribute to these traditional dishes—but with a special twist: our signature Italo-Spanish fusion, which transforms each recipe into a unique culinary experience.
If you’re visiting Córdoba during Holy Week, don’t miss the chance to discover these seasonal flavors with our distinctive touch. We invite you on a culinary journey where tradition and innovation come together in the heart of Andalusia.
Typical Holy Week Dishes in Córdoba
Córdoba’s Holy Week cuisine is known for its simplicity, relying on humble yet meaningful ingredients. Here are some of the most emblematic dishes of the season—reimagined at Posadero Bistro:
1. Potaje de Vigilia (Lenten Stew)
A classic Lenten dish traditionally made with chickpeas, spinach, and cod, symbolizing meat abstinence. Hearty and full of flavor, it embodies the essence of Mediterranean cooking.
At Posadero Bistro, we reinvent it with a touch of Tuscan herbs and a subtle homemade pesto, creating a fusion that honors the original while infusing it with Italian soul.
2. Cod with Tomato
Another seasonal staple, this simple yet flavorful dish combines tender cod with a sauce of tomato, garlic, and olive oil.
Our version features a delicate touch of saffron and is served with freshly baked Italian focaccia, offering a burst of flavor that unites Andalusia and Italy in every bite.
3. Torrijas (Spanish-Style French Toast)
Holy Week wouldn’t be complete without torrijas. This sweet treat, similar to French toast, is made with bread soaked in milk, dipped in egg, fried, and finished with honey, sugar, or cinnamon.
At our bistro, we give it an unexpected twist: infused with espresso and vanilla, and served with mascarpone cream—a sweet and sophisticated nod to our Italian roots.
4. Cod Fritters
These crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside bites are another Lenten favorite, made with shredded cod, garlic, parsley, and sometimes potato.
At Posadero Bistro, we add Parmesan cheese and a hint of lemon zest for a lighter, fresher take that surprises with its depth of flavor.
5. Rice Pudding
This creamy, aromatic dessert is the perfect finale for any Holy Week meal.
Our version includes a splash of Amaretto liqueur, enhancing its natural sweetness and adding a perfumed note that makes it truly unforgettable.
