Modern Spanish fusion with local sourcing
Modern Spanish fusion drives El Yantar, with local sourcing shaping the kitchen’s remit. That frame suits diners looking for a contemporary Spanish meal rather than a single-region template.
Bib Gourmand recognition across three years
The 2024, 2025 and 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand gives the restaurant sustained recognition. Macarfi also gave it a 7 Food Rating for 2026.
Carrilleras al vino tinto and a wine-led pace
Carrilleras al vino tinto, croquetas de pollo al curry and mollejas con berenjenas anchor the signatures. An extensive wine list, quiet room and leisurely pacing make it better suited to lunch or dinner with time set aside.
