What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante Cocinandos offers an exceptional dining experience with innovative, artfully presented dishes that reinvent traditional flavors. Diners rave about the incredible value, especially considering its Michelin star status, and highly recommend the wine pairings. The sophisticated yet warm ambiance and attentive service contribute to a memorable meal, though some note that the focus can sometimes be on larger tables.
"I was here in June while I was walking the Camino. It was a rest day and I was exploring the amazing city. Dressed in dirty clothes and with my huge backpack, the chef and the waitress still showed great hospitality and amazing service.
I was greeted me at the door and I believe it was the head chef explained the idea behind their restaurant and the tasting menu, which is taking various ingredients throughout Spain, the freshest at the time and place them on the menu. Each dish is an art piece, full of surprises and flavour.
The wine pairing is also a must! Amazing wines to pair with each course, which enhances and elevates the taste.
Will definitely be back again in the future!"

Impeccable
service. Inventive n tasty dishes. Highly recommended."
D Lav
"The food is as amazing as you'd expect of a Michelin star restaurant and cheaper than expected. The wine pairing is delicious and local with good explanation. At €26 or so it's really great value! The menu changes every couple of weeks so you can always expect something new. I've been several times and will continue to return."
