The Michelin Guide's review
The Sandoval brothers (Mario in the kitchen, Diego front of house, and Rafael in his role as sommelier) are considered three of the biggest stars in Spain’s hospitality industry. This magnificent restaurant, occupying around 1 100m² of space, offers various experiences that take place in stages (in the bar, wine cellar, “sacristy”, kitchen etc) as part of a culinary journey through its elegant facilities, and one which has been designed in a visual way to enhance every sensation to the full. Head chef Mario Sandoval is fully conscious of the need for greater knowledge about ingredients. As such, his “Roots” menu (along with a vegan-vegetarian option) showcases creative cooking which demonstrates the true personal essence of a chef who pays full homage to the very best seasonal ingredients (teardrop peas from Guetaria, shrimp from Motril, wild Galician clams, Toro Bravo beef etc). His cooking also brings to light the research that he carries out in his “agrolab” at the Jaral de la Mira farm-estate.
