Restaurante Muna

"Occupying the Casa de Las Bombas, opposite the Castillo de los Templarios, Mu•na’s Arabic name (meaning “desire”) alludes to its desire to satisfy our appetite and our tastebuds. Here, owner-chef Samuel Naveira works with both passion and enthusiasm in this contemporary setting where the decorative ants embellishing the walls are somewhat unusual but are a metaphor for the hard work and effort of the entire team. His cuisine, which he showcases on a single, highly original tasting menu (A Journey to Japan) introduces us to cuisine that plays with a fusion from around the globe while extolling the virtues of the Bierzo region’s seasonal ingredients. The latter have always been the cornerstone of his culinary message, albeit from the perspective of Japanese techniques and recipes (wild boar and apple yakitori, “Berciano” ramen, “botillo” ningo-yaki, “Aquanaria sea bass on the island of Shikoku” etc). The chef is so proud of his Michelin star that he has had it tattooed on his wrist!" - Michelin Inspector
