A Mar occupies a pedestrianised lane in Jerez's old quarter, treating the Atlantic and its surrounding waters as a working larder rather than a marketing concept. The à la carte moves between fish from the display cabinet, premium grilled meats from named heritage breeds, and an extensive rice selection.
