Maralba

"A family business that sums up what it has set out to do here in one punchy phrase: "Manchego cuisine with glimpses of the Mediterranean".In the elegant dining area with a glass-walled wine cellar, Albacete-born chef Fran Martínez really knows how to showcase the region's cuisine and its produce; he gives his creations those modern touches that make all the difference – and at value for money that is hard to beat when it comes to signature dishes. The inclusion in the set menus of all kinds of fresh fish, even discarded fish (supplied daily by the fish market in La Vila Joiosa), and the option to add a wine pairing with labels from La Mancha or the east coast of Spain, are particularly noteworthy. The bread is, of course, also unique because they make it themselves." - Michelin Inspector

Two well deserved Michelin stars and three ‘soles Repsol’ (highest rate in this relevant national scale) holds this magnificent restaurant running in the small town of Almansa in Albacete. Perhaps the most affordable 2 stars in Europe and with a cuisine with strong local roots, Maralba is, definitely, a place to visit. A perfect stop in our way from Madrid to the Mediterranean coast. Three different tasting menus with a great optional wine pairing by the also awarded sommelier Cristina Díaz.

Maralba is without a doubt one of the best 2 star Michelin restaurants in Spain. The food is delicious, well prepared with beautiful presentations. The wine pairing is very good, mostly with wines from Castilla La Mancha. They offer three different menus. But what is outstanding is that Maralba remains one of the cheapest MIchelin star restaurants in the world. Its chef and owner Fran Martinez has continued to offer an affordable "short" menu "Esencia" for the same price (as of May 2023, 65 Euros). In our opinion this menu offers more food than many other menus in other Michelin restaurants. If you are in the Alicante or Valencia region, it is worth stopping by Maralba. It is an experience worth living. After eating you can always visit the beautiful Almansa Castle. A perfect day in Castilla La Mancha!

Contemporary variations of local cuisine. Precise and innovative, some plates were a bit more about technics than taste. Nice wine pairings mostly with Spanish wines. Friendly service. Definetly worth to visit.

Fui con mi pareja a comer, escogiendo el gran menú. Lo principal, un servicio muy bueno, quizás demasiado tiempo entre algunos de los pases, somos de comer rápido incluso alta cocina. La comida excelente, somos de la zona y nos ha gustado reconocer sabores de siempre presentados de forma sobresaliente. Quizás la tabla de quesos, los hubiésemos preferido de forma tradicional, mejor que cómo bombones. Enhorabuena por vuestro trabajo. Volveremos y os recomendaremos.
