Cocinandos

The name of the restaurant, which comes from the Spanish verb “cocinar” (to cook), says it all as Yolanda León and Juanjo Pérez met while working together in different kitchens before they decided to come together to pursue a shared dream. The unexpectedly modern interior of the historic Casa del Peregrino (1750), next to the monumental Parador-Hostal de San Marcos, provides the backdrop for cuisine with an identity that stems from transparency. The creatively inspired cuisine here is centred around two tasting menus (Cocinar León and Gran Menú Cocinandos) which tell a story, are based around the best local ingredients, and evolve weekly in line with the seasons, accompanied by the region’s best wines. To enhance your experience further, enjoy a coffee in the garden, overlooked on one side by the historic San Marcos church and on the other by the city’s concert hall. During the summer months, a “Menú Parrilla”, designed for sharing, is also available in this delightful space.
