Versátil

If the prospect of a short country break appeals to you, this restaurant in the north of Cáceres province is the perfect destination. It is rare to find refined cuisine of this level in such a small rural village, so Versátil will definitely come as a pleasant surprise, hence our recommendation to book ahead. Fronting the project is Alejandro Hernández (alongside his brothers Jesús David and José Luis who are in charge of the dining room), who worked under the renowned Martín Berasategui, under whom he acquired the culinary skills that he now showcases in this eclectic yet welcoming space. Choose between an à la carte of updated traditional cuisine with a nod to seasonal Extremadura ingredients (carpaccio of Iberian pork “presa” with a vegetable vinaigrette, charcoal-grilled Extremadura veal tenderloin etc) and two tasting menu options (Experiencia and Versátil). A more informal menu is also available in the Bodega, which also doubles as an art gallery.
