La Carboná Restaurante

In a wood-beamed former sherry bodega with generously spaced tables, chef Javier Muñoz has created a wonderful dining experience based around sherry. House specialties include big cuts of Cantabrian beef roasted over charcoal and served with a variety of sauces, including a reduction of oloroso sherry. Those same searing flames are used for pork, fish and prawns and you are encouraged to pair every course with a glass of sherry in a variety of styles. The 7-course Lola Carboná pairing menu (menu maridaje), includes dishes like a taco of sherry-infused Ibérico pork with spicy chipotle mayonnaise, served with a glass of Harvey’s oloroso. At 80€ it is great value given the quality of the food and wines on offer.
