Diner notes
5 out of 5
One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. All the small plates were faultless. Very inventive approach to preparing and cooking the seasonal produce. The start of the experience with a tour of the garden, which supplies their kitchen, followed by seating in the garden under hazelnut trees for the first few drinks and food was so lovely. The dining room looked out onto the garden vista and bird life was very attractive and held our attention. Service was attentive and perfectly timed. The sequence of the small plates was impeccable. The hand-made pottery used to serve the dishes were works of art. What more can I say? 5 star plus

This is truly worth the stop, worth the journey to Rioja simply for the restaurant itself. This is a 3-4 hour experience but not once did we feel bored or forgotten about. It was incredibly engaging. You are first taken to the patio area where you will enjoy some amuse bouche. They are crafted by the chef right in front of you and he explains about the dishes and the region. From there, you are guided to your table where the service is 5 star, truly impeccable in every aspect. This has great vegetarian and vegan options, and showcases the vegetables in the garden. The dishes are presented with immaculate plating and the contrast of flavours is remarkable. Truly one of the best dining experiences of our lives. Special thank you to Marta who toured us around the garden after lunch and explained their seed saving, fermenting and harvesting.

Spent my 50th birthday here and what a gem! I’ve traveled to 60 countries and eaten at many Michelin restaurants, and I’m a classically trained French Chef and this is in my top 5! The service was impeccable! The food especially the vegetables from their garden were the most delicious vegetables I’ve had in my life. The creativity from the chef to the ambiance was unforgettable. The vermouth and the wine they made onsite was spectacular. Must get the wine pairing. This is a MUST when in the Rioja region. I’ve attached a few of the dishes, not all. Keeping some as a surprise ;)
