Description

A restaurant featuring design-inspired decorative detail and a contemporary feel that includes a kitchen that opens directly onto the dining room. Here, cuisine from the local area and the Sierra del Segura has been brought right up to date, reinterpreting the recipes of bygone days in a creative way and with a focus on meticulous presentation. Chef Javier Jurado, who fell in love with cooking in his grandparents’ restaurant (called Los Ángeles, hence the name Malak, the Arabic word for “angel”), showcases his cuisine on two interesting tasting menus: “Lost Villages” and “Sierra de Segura”. From the appetisers (“small game” and pine nut pâté; wild mushroom and Pontones cheese-filled steamed fritters, Iberian ham croquettes made with fresh milk etc) onwards, guests are introduced to the full flavours of the local mountains, attaining maximum expression in highly original dishes such as pork tenderloin and rin-rán (a potato stew with Choricero peppers). The cuisine here is an ode to the local terroir, making full use of everyday ingredients.
