Cooking of the market, fish and seafood from the Atlantic and Mediterranean
Cooking of the market, fish and seafood from the Atlantic and Mediterranean, meats from the most reputed livestock areas, vegetables from the fields of Loja… these are just some of the keys to the menu of this incredible restaurant. Keys which later translate to a menu of tastes that include a salad of asparagus buds with salted trout, casserole of baby beans a la Granaína, sea bass with a carrier’s garlic paste, pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon, and the special house tiramisu. That is just an example, which is not just any old thing, of a menu that offers other cold appetizers that use the famous Riofrío sturgeon, or the prawns wrapped with ham among the hot appetizers.
Grilled monkfish, cod loins a la vizcaína or sole a la menier can be very interesting options for those who love fish. The shoulder of suckling lamb, the grilled crab cutlets, or the veal, among other exquisite offerings for those who opt for meats. As a finale, truly homemade desserts.
A special mention for the use of local products, such as caviar, sturgeon and trout from Riofrío, the beans, the asparagus and the ever-more popular lamb from the Sierra de Loja, which every day moves towards its special appellation.
In any case, it is always interesting to consult the daily specials or the chef’s recommendations, surely in every occasion there will be an unforgettable surprise.
