Frommer's Review

Even after a relocation, remodeling, and expansion, this elegant restaurant is set around a lovely interior courtyard of the wonderful Hotel Grano de Oro. The atmosphere here remains intimate, relaxed, and refined, all at the same time. The menu features a wide range of meat and fish dishes. The lomito piemontes is two medallions of filet mignon stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese in a sherry sauce, while the pernil de conejo is a rabbit thigh stuffed with a mushroom pâté and served with a Dijon mustard sauce. If you opt for fish, I recommend the macadamia-encrusted corvina, which is served with a light and tangy orange sauce. Be sure to save room for the "Grano de Oro pie," a decadent dessert with various layers of chocolate and coffee mousses and creams. This place has a good wine list, including a range of options by the glass. When the weather's nice, grab a table around the fountain in the courtyard, a particularly nice option for lunch.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
