Francis Paniego exudes honesty, sincerity, passion and a love for his profession and his family legacy, which sees him and his brother Chefe (maître d' and sommelier) as the fifth generation in charge of this restaurant that has been in business for over a century. Here, you will discover a reinterpretation of the chef’s roots but from a more creative perspective, to which he brings his exceptional technical skill to bear on the ingredients he uses, such as offal (the “tendon” gnocchi were delicious), that elevates the palate to new heights. These dishes, served in the guise of a tasting menu, are presented alongside a selection of appetisers and starters (served in the Salón de la Galería or at El Portal’s bar) that showcase the pillars upon which this restaurant (such as his sorely missed mother Marisa Sánchez) are based. The experience continues in the dining room with constant nods to the local area, its people and to the flavours of La Rioja. Many of the finishing touches to dishes are added in front of guests.
