MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

El Ermitaño is accessed by a minor road flanked by market gardens and fields of corn, a setting which reaffirms the gastronomic, cultural and family legacy of this aristocratic country house which retains close links with its surroundings and boasts an adjoining hermitage dating back to 1775. The Pérez brothers (Pedro Mario and Óscar Manuel), who look for contentment in even the smallest of things and who, in their own words, “cook what we are”, remain loyal to their history, their heritage and to their different yet complementary personalities. Take your pick between the à la carte, featuring the restaurant’s signature dishes (don’t miss the cured meat “canutillos” with duck liver and quince) and the occasionally creative and seasonally inspired dish, and two tasting menus: one that guests create themselves by selecting four dishes from the à la carte, and a second special menu based around baby lamb, a favourite ingredient of the team here. The latter includes up to 12 courses (we particularly enjoyed the glazed sweetbreads with potatoes, mangetout, radish and vinegar) and requires advance booking.
