Une étoile MICHELIN : une cuisine d’une grande finesse. Vaut l’étape !
Des produits de première qualité, une finesse d’exécution évidente,des saveurs marquées, une constance dans la réalisation des plats.
A wonderful example of an honest, highly dedicated chef who also trained as a teacher, and who has been rewarded with a Michelin star. Miguel Barrera, who grew up surrounded by pots and pans in the family restaurant (El Paraíso), fulfilled his parents dream by becoming a teacher but was unable to ignore his own instincts, hence his decision to train as a chef before returning home. Following a period working with his family to provide a sense of continuity, he took over the reins of the restaurant, gave it a new name and carried out changes across the board. Today, he wins over his customers with his contemporary cuisine full of flavour which remains faithful to his Castellón roots, his memories, and to zero-mile ingredients, in many cases grown in his own garden. Centred around three tasting menus (Tradición, Gastromercat and Miguel Barrera), his cuisine features dishes that never disappoint, such as the tomatoes “de penjar” with whole sardines and grilled garlic, and some delicious rice options.
