Restaurante Casona del Judío

"If you would like to eat in a really special setting, book a table at Casona del Judío, as it’s not every day that you get the chance to enjoy a Michelin-starred experience in an authentic 19C colonial-style property. Here, chef Sergio Bastard impresses guests by shining the spotlight on local ingredients as well as algae and herbs from the Cantabrian coast. He offers two tasting menus (Festival and Chef’s Table) on which guests can savour dishes influenced by the sea, with a fusion of textures and a constant focus on pinpoint presentation (we especially enjoyed the starters, such as the Verdina beans with red prawns, and the brine-cured squid with a black garlic macaroon). Access is via the Casona, which features a room in which the chef creates and explains his snacks before guests take their seats. Once seated, they will discover innovative culinary creations such as Salmuria, an unusual anchovy brine that he stores in small bottles and uses in sauces, in particular, to provide enhanced flavour and to add a touch of saltiness to his dishes." - Michelin Inspector
