The brainchild of chef @xantyelias, @fincaalfoliz is the evolution of his family summer home into farm-to-table grill. Just 1hr east of Faro, located in a nature reserve outside of Huelva. Xanty has created a sanctuary of flavour surrounded by his permaculture gardens that serve his restaurant.
Despite only having opened 2 years ago, Finca Alfoliz has already been recognised for its sustainability efforts by the @michelinguide with the newly created green star ✳️, deservedly so and although being fairly limited in space (compared to most farms) Xanty and his team have covered the whole plot with their permaculture efforts (make sure to ask for a tour of the gardens), constantly in bloom with an array of colours and textures.
Which brings us to the food, alongside some flavour-packed Spanish staples (epic croquetas and jamon-jamon), on this day we tucked into a GIANT perfectly cooked 1.5kg chuleton but I couldn't help but feel FOMO as other tables (clearly in the know) tucked into their clay pot rice dishes.
At least now I have a reason to pop back! (As if I needed a reason). See you soon Xanty 👋
