A wine bar that happens to serve food
Listán Wine Tasca opened on 26 May 2022 at number 10, Plaza de San Antonio, in the centre of Cádiz. It is run by a married couple, María Teresa Gómez and Enrique Pérez, and it is built around the glass rather than the plate. Over 200 wines are poured by the glass, many from the Jerez area and the rest of Cádiz province. Go here when you want to taste the province in a glass, not when you want a plate of fried fish. For that, start with pescaito frito.
What is in the glass and on the plate
The bar keeps two solera-style barrels of sherry on tap: Jerez above, with a Fernando de Castilla amontillado, fino and oloroso, and Sanlúcar below, with manzanilla and Pedro Ximénez. A listing in a Cádiz gastroguide counts more than 450 wine references, about half of them from the province, so the by-the-glass list is only part of the cellar.
There is no kitchen. Everything is served cold, and the menu is decided on the day, because the owner walks the stalls of the Mercado Central each morning. Dishes mentioned in the press include a choco (cuttlefish) ensaladilla made without potato and Bay of Cádiz anchovies in vinegar. The house habit is quesos emborrachados, cheeses soaked in local wine rather than port. Expect plates to share, not a hot meal.
The room, the terrace and the classes
There is a terrace on the square, high tables at the entrance and in the first room, and an inner room with a bar and low tables that is used for tastings. The owners run tastings roughly every two weeks, plus WSET level 2 and 3 courses, and say they are the only venue in Cádiz province teaching WSET. In December 2025 the bar took second place for best wine bar at the 2024 Solera awards of the Consejo Regulador del Jerez, behind Gorrión Wine Bar.
Planning the visit
The average ticket is about €20 per person, according to a 2024 interview with the owners. The sources say only that the bar opens every day and give no times, so confirm hours before you walk over. One blogger found service spotty when the large indoor and patio space fills up, so go early or expect to wait. Check the bar's own channels first, since the latest dated evidence in the sources is from December 2025.
