"Radis is one of those places in which a young chef (Juanjo Mesa) with the restaurant business in his blood, experience working in leading restaurants behind him, and an undeniable desire to please has set up a business with a view to revolutionising the city’s dining scene. In 2023, Mesa won the title of “Best Olive Oil Chef” at the “Jaén, Paraíso Interior” contest organised as part of the San Sebastián Gastronomika festival, and in this small, centrally located eatery with a contemporary bistro feel and open kitchen he puts all his efforts into two surprise tasting menus (Bercho and Charca, with 9 and 15 courses respectively) inspired by tradition and his childhood memories from the small town of Pegalajar, in the municipality of Sierra Mágina. He has brought this cuisine fully up to date thanks to strong technique, a delicate touch and superbly crafted French-style sauces and jus. The essence of his cooking is summed up by one particular dish: broad beans, cod and radish, a delicious homage to his mother and to his roots." - Michelin Inspector
