ANDALUCÍA - CÁDIZ - EL PUERTO DE SANT MARÍA - APONIENTE - VISIT 3
Three Michelin Stars
Aponiente September 2020
A return visit to the Angel León restaurant (famous for his cuisine of the sea and only from the sea).
After moving from the old place in the Centre of El Puerto de Santa Maria, the new, far more glamorous restaurant, is just outside of town, in what was once, an old flour mill, originally built in 1815.
A small river/stream flows under the current building and the energy it generated for the mill, was used to grind the wheat into flour.
Situated on an abandoned salt marsh, there never ceases to be possibilities of new food arising.
There was an army of chefs who were preparing our menu del día, at €215 with an optional wine pairing of €100.
Chefs everywhere!
