El Ermitaño

El Ermitaño is accessed by a minor road flanked by market gardens and fields of corn, a setting which reaffirms the gastronomic, cultural and family legacy of this aristocratic country house which retains close links with its surroundings and boasts an adjoining hermitage dating back to 1775. The Pérez brothers (Pedro Mario and Óscar Manuel), who look for contentment in even the smallest of things and who, in their own words, “cook what we are”, remain loyal to their history, their heritage and to their different yet complementary personalities. Take your pick between the à la carte, featuring the restaurant’s signature dishes (don’t miss the cured meat “canutillos” with duck liver and quince) and the occasionally creative and seasonally inspired dish, and two tasting menus: one that guests create themselves by selecting four dishes from the à la carte, and a second special menu based around baby lamb, a favourite ingredient of the team here. The latter includes up to 12 courses (we particularly enjoyed the glazed sweetbreads with potatoes, mangetout, radish and vinegar) and requires advance booking.

• Located in a centuries-old manor with an adjoining historic hermitage, reinforcing the restaurant's deep local identity.
• Run by the Pérez brothers, whose complementary styles are central to the kitchen's voice.
• Guests can compose a four-dish tasting from the à la carte or opt for a longer seasonal 12-course format.
• The house frames its cuisine as 'cooking what we are'—a direct link between family history and plate.
