Dama Juana
"There are some local customs and skills that you pick up at home from your family and it is undoubtedly this link which connects chef Juan Aceituno and his grandmother Juana (La Chucha), the woman who passed on her passion for food to her grandson. Following a recent refurbishment that has brought greater levels of comfort, the restaurant now features a main dining room in a contemporary minimalist style, plus a semi-private annexe, from where it is possible to watch the kitchen team at work. The updated traditional cuisine here aims to narrate a journey through the chef’s own life experiences, exploring the landscapes of Jaén via the à la carte and two set menus (Blancal and Umbría). A special menu entitled Gran Menú María (named after his daughter and only available by pre-booking) is served by the chef himself and is accompanied by its own wine pairings." - Michelin Inspector
