The Michelin Guide's review
There are some local customs and skills that you pick up at home from your family and it is undoubtedly this link which connects chef Juan Aceituno and his grandmother Juana (La Chucha), the woman who passed on her passion for food to her grandson. This downtown restaurant, halfway between the Basilica of San Ildefonso and the bullring, features a main dining room in a contemporary minimalist style. The updated traditional cuisine here, with stunning attention to detail and exquisite flavour, aims to narrate a journey through the chef’s own life experiences, exploring the landscapes of Jaén via three set menus: Carta, María, and Triana. The experience can even be enhanced with the ‘Momento cocina’, an exclusive add-on to start the meal (includes champagne, an individual can of caviar, and two appetisers from the selected tasting menu), or an even more intimate experience by reserving ‘The Chef’s Table’ (available only with the Triana menu, for 4 to 6 guests).
