Farragua

In this unusual bistro-style restaurant just a few metres from the Plaza Mayor and the ever-busy marina, the self-proclaimed aim is to create “inquisitive and evolving” cuisine. What is certain is that Farragua’s updated take on traditional dishes features plenty of fusion influences and nods to Extremadura, the native region of chef Ricardo Fernández Señorán, who is particularly at ease working with locally sourced and seasonal ingredients which he uses to create his signature escabeches. His cooking is firmly focused on his tasting menus: Asina, Mangurrino and Dejalamío (everyone has a pairing option). The restaurant has also developed a concept entitled “Arrieros” (named after the men who, in the past, would transport food from one community to the next), as part of which invited chefs help to create four-hand menus.
