Aleia

At Aleia, enjoy a fascinating experience that you’ll rarely find elsewhere, thanks to its combination of fine dining and architecture, and a location on the first floor of the famous Casa Fuster (nowadays the Hotel Casa Fuster), a jewel of Catalan Modernism designed in the early 20C by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. In its bright dining room, with large columns flanking its stunning windows and an extraordinary undulating ceiling that is reminiscent of the titanium panels adorning the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, savour a single tasting menu with a creative and contemporary vision and a wine-pairing option. Under the guidance of award-winning Paulo Airaudo (from the Amelia by Paulo Airaudo restaurant in Donostia-San Sebastián), Jerez-born chef Rafa de Bedoya showcases consistency and flavour with its foundation in locally sourced seasonal ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the incredible appetisers and the beef fillet with “patates pebrots”. An excellent choice of wines by the glass is also available.
