Abantal

This elegant restaurant, the name of which is the linguistic predecessor of the Spanish word for apron (delantal), is enthusiastically run by a team that brings its full expertise, emotion, soul and intrinsic personality to the cuisine. Head chef Julio Fernández Quintero oversees everything that goes on here with the clear objective of transferring traditional Andalucian flavours to a more cutting-edge culinary approach, while maintaining the authenticity of local ingredients and produce and their seasonality. In the renovated dining room, the decor of which is more akin to that of a museum, choose between two tasting menus with different numbers of courses (one menu has nine, the other twelve) but both offering a wine-pairing option. For an even more intense and immersive dining experience, why not book the superb chef’s table in the kitchen, with seating for just ten guests.

An origin-forward concept

• Abantal frames its cuisine as a forward-looking, avant-garde interpretation of Andalusia, intentionally rooted in its place of origin to guide its culinary direction.

A name rooted in history: 'Abantal' from an old Castilian term for apron

• The restaurant's name evokes yesteryear by using an obsolete word for apron, reflecting a link between tradition and the modern dining experience.

Design to let the food shine: light, open, minimalist space with warm ambiance

• The interior is described as modern, warm, open and luminous, a setting designed to keep the focus on the cuisine and the tasting menus.

Signature Ingredients

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The most explicitly highlighted ingredient in Abantal’s menus; the site features a dedicated page titled “Extra Virgin Olive Oil” within the Menu section, signaling its central role in Abantal’s Andalusian-contemporary cuisine. While specific sourcing details are not listed in the provided pages, the emphasis suggests high-quality, regionally sourced olive oil used as both a cooking foundation and a finishing element, helping define the restaurant’s elegant interpretation of Andalusia's flavors.
