APONIENTE Three Michelin Stars
A return visit to the Angel León restaurant, Aponiente, renowned for its cuisine of the sea and exclusively seafood.
After relocating from its previous site in the centre of El Puerto de Santa María, the new and much more glamorous restaurant is situated just outside of town in what was once an old flour mill built in 1815.
A small river or stream flows beneath the current building, and the energy it produced for the mill was used to grind wheat into flour.
Located on a deserted salt marsh, there are countless opportunities for discovering new food sources.
An army of chefs was preparing the various menus:
Menú AQUA: €310 per person
Wine pairing: €180 per person
Non-alcoholic pairing (NoLo): €150 per person
Non Plus Ultra premium pairing: €300 per person
Chefs everywhere!
