El Portal de Echaurren
"Francis Paniego exudes honesty, sincerity, passion and a love for his profession and his family (his brother Chefe is the maître d' and sommelier). He is proud of the legacy he has inherited: his mother, the late Marisa Sánchez, was the winner of the Premio Nacional de Gastronomía (National Gastronomy Award) in 1987.El Portal, the cornerstone of the chef's various projects, is a creative new take on his culinary roots, for which he brings his exceptional technical skill to bear on ingredients such as offal to produce veritable taste sensations. These dishes, served in the guise of tasting menus, are presented alongside a selection of starters to be enjoyed out on the terrace or beside the hotel's fireplace. The aim is to showcase the flavours of this beautiful region." - Michelin Inspector
