Customer Reviews
An amazing restaurant and outstanding chef and service. I made some videos for you and many pictures. Enjoy the show.
Léon is a very good chef and really nice person! We enjoyed his food ( with the help of Gulia) during a yoga retreat. We’ll come back for sure! 😀
This reservation, set-menu only place is a secret worth preserving. I learnt of it a year ago, but every time I thought of going it was either the wrong date or too late. Frankly, its location in a non-descriptive industrial park next to a Mercadona and a Chinese bazaar didn’t help. A pity we missed it for so long. We booked thru eltenedor.com and, at that time, the only option was a 12-course tasting menu for 55 euros, which sounded pricey and a bit pretentious¬. But frankly, at that price it is a steal, well worth double that in a downtown setting. I guess the food could be described as Spanish with Japanese influences, Peruvian touches and French preparation. Everything was finely presented, deliciously cooked and packed with contrasting and surprising aromas. But for me, the starters (entrantes) really stood out: The “Macarón de Cacao, Crema Balsámica, Anchoa del Cantábrico y Menta” were otherwordly. I’ve tried to replicate them by using the very best anchovies from Santoña then adding fresh mint leaves and a pinch of Mexican cocoa but failed at the nuance. The “Carpaccio de Anticucho de Ciervo, Remolacha y Helado Casero de Boletus” were without any doubt the very best anticuchos I’ve ever tried. And I´m still wondering in amazement about the secrets behind the crunchy sucking pig in the “Lo Mejor de la Granja” or the smoked duck in the “Arroz Meloso de Calasparra con Solomillo de Pato Ahumado y Agridulce de Lima y Cilantro”. The entrees (platos) were excellent but not quite as surprising or bold as the starters. I particularly liked the “Lubina a la Brasa con salsa de Limón y Estragón, Patata Rosa, Boniato, Berros y Encurtidos de Rabanitos”, fresh and cooked to perfection. Follow the waiter’s recommendation and do not leave the skin behind, it is sublime. The desserts (postres) were a bit disconcerting. The “Paseo por Italia” was sweet and tasty, well manufactured and imaginatively presented. But frankly a tomato and mozzarella salad doesn’t excite me neither in person nor re-incarnated in dessert-like deconstruction. Overall a memorable experience, well worth Michelin-level credentials. Go and taste before recognition comes and prices go up.
