El Coto de Quevedo

"If you enjoy cuisine rooted in the local terroir, this restaurant, part of the rural hotel of the same name and located 1km southeast of Torre de Juan Abad, will definitely appeal, thanks to surroundings which provide it with its inspiration. The “gastronomic” dining space (there is a second more traditional dining room called Origen) features lots of natural light and pleasant vistas of the La Mancha countryside. Chef José Antonio Medina’s cuisine, which starts with two series of appetisers (first by the room with the open fire, and then at the bar, where they are served by the chef himself), showcases the best local ingredients and the full flavours of local Campo de Montiel cooking, including a particular focus on game (partridge, wild boar, venison, rabbit etc) – its undisputed hallmark. On the three menus here (Raíces, Recuerdos y Memoria, and the more extensive Gran Menú Coto), you’ll find dishes such as Carabinero prawns, tendons, and wild asparagus, and the eye-catching Mar y Montaña (Sea and Mountains)." - Michelin Inspector

Coto de Quevedo Origen

"Thanks to options such as loaves of candeal wheat flour bread baked in the town’s communal oven, delicious home-produced partridge pâté, comforting soups, and chickpea and bean stews, the dining in this restaurant is very much focused on everyday food, in contrast to its award-winning older sibling (Coto de Quevedo Evolución). It is one of those places that is good for the soul, and one which connects guests staying at this charming rural hotel directly with the countryside, accompanied by similarly friendly and easy-going service. Chef José Antonio Medina continues to focus on game, which is part of the restaurant’s DNA, as part of a more traditional style of cooking that is an ode to time-honoured and home-inspired recipes." - Michelin Inspector
