Villa Retiro
"Embark on a magical journey full of flavour across the Baix Ebre (Lower Ebro) region. Located in a stunning yet undiscovered area, this restaurant occupies charming former stables (nowadays redecorated in a more contemporary style) in the Spanish colonial-style Villa Retiro resort, which occupies buildings dating back to the 1890s.Here, chef Fran López continues to find inspiration in the natural bounty of the Ebro delta. On his menus (Clásico, Homenaje, and Más que un homenaje), the gastronomic focus is on the history of the area’s towns and villages and the civilisations that have inhabited them over the centuries (Ilercavones, Romans, Moors, Christians etc). This is showcased through traditional, creative and market-inspired cooking and finger-style food teeming with local flavour (the delta’s famous rice, different species of fish direct from the auction, the invasive blue crab etc) enhanced by personal touches, modern technique and contemporary detail. An added bonus is the explanation of each dish by the team in the dining room." - Michelin Inspector
