The Michelin Guide's review
Embark on a magical journey full of flavour across the Baix Ebre (Lower Ebro) region. Located in a stunning yet undiscovered area, this restaurant occupies charming former stables (nowadays redecorated in a more contemporary style) in the Spanish colonial-style Villa Retiro resort, which occupies buildings dating back to 1890. Here, chef Fran López continues to find inspiration in the natural bounty of the Ebro delta. On his menus (Clásico, Homenaje, and Más que un Homenaje), he offers traditional and creative market-inspired cooking, finger food and snacks teeming with local flavour (featuring the delta’s famous rice and its poultry, fish, shellfish, seaweed, aromatic herbs etc). An added bonus is the explanation of each dish by the team in the dining room. In addition, all the starters (such as the oysters with “aged” tomatoes, celery gel and pickled celery) are served on an iron plate that represents a map of the region.
