Meson El Lagar De Montejos

When traveling to the El Bierzo wine region, you must enjoy the food and wine here.
In addition to the more idyllic Agoga restaurant in the village of Carrosedo and the Canado Palace Hotel Restaurant in Arganza, I would like to recommend 3 more exquisite restaurants in El Bierzo.

1.🏠🍴muna 
This is a one-star Michelin restaurant in Ponferrada.
Walking into the very elegant two-story building, what makes people remember is that there are many small ant shapes in the restaurant space decoration. The small ants crawling on the wall next to the muna sign, the small ants guarding the dining table, and the small ants carrying the Michelin big white image. I asked and realized that the small ants are the self-image of the hardworking chefs. It is very humorous and interesting.

The theme menu is to find ingredients and inspiration in the local environment of El Bierzo, and it is also paired with local wines to show the understanding of the food of this land.

The wild mushroom soup and trout, quail and pine nut salad appetizers are inspired by the forested areas of the Meduras gold mines.

Roasted cabbage with smoked foam and handmade bread is inspired by the San Pedro mountain monastery and the silent valley.

Paired with ros&eacute; wine

The main course of grilled sea bass, seaweed and chickpeas is inspired by the Atlantic breeze in Berzo near Galicia.

Another main course of beef with foie gras and asparagus is inspired by the wilds near Asturias.

Paired with Mencia dry red wine

Dessert is strawberry ginger yogurt ice cream.

📍Location: Calle Gil y Carrasco 25, Ponferrada
💓Favorite dishes: Trout quail pine nut salad, potato meatballs, cod, etc.

2.🏠🍴7nails
The second restaurant I recommend is 7nails, which means seven chairs in Chinese. It is located in the center of Ponferrada, in the Town Hall Square, diagonally opposite the Town Hall, and is easy to find. During the Templar Festival, there are drama performances in the square, which is very suitable for a casual meal after shopping and watching performances.
The restaurant has an outdoor area with a transparent glass house, where you can dine while watching the street view, which is very popular.
Its octopus with sour mayonnaise is a local traditional method, very delicious and worth a try.
The local area is rich in chestnuts, and the chestnut pudding made with local chestnuts is very soft and delicious. However, if you feel that the chestnut desserts you order along the way are a bit heavy, you can try the fruit yogurt here, which is also very fresh and delicious.

3.🏠🍴De Floriana
Molinaseca, 8 kilometers east of Ponferrada, is a suburban town where locals like to go to play in the water, and it is also a post town on the pilgrimage route. If you go to Molinaseca, it is recommended to try the De Floriana restaurant.

The simple lines of the stone and wooden beam building, the high-ceiling space, have both medieval elements and modern atmosphere.
The wine pairing is a fusion of local Spanish flavors and Mexican cuisine, which is delicate and fashionable.

🥏The first cold dish: a combination of Spanish cold soup, flying fish roe potato fish patties, avocado grapefruit crisps, and pork taco burritos
🍷Paired with godello dry white, the bright acidity is particularly harmonious with the tomato cold soup.

🥏The appetizer is Mexican spicy cold shrimp. The standard method is to marinate shrimp with chili and lemon juice, and add red onions, avocados, and cucumber slices. Floriana Restaurant has improved it and added seafood and vegetables such as squid and clams, which is more refreshing.

🍷Traditionally, it is served with Mexican beer, and it is indeed served with a Mexican-style beer cocktail

🥏The main course is fried turbot Rodaballo, served with a local orange-yellow sweet potato sauce that looks like pumpkin and carrot.

🍷 It is paired with a green cocktail made from Reineta apple juice, a local aromatic apple variety, and bourbon whiskey, which is fragrant and charming.

🥏The meat main course is steak
🍷 Paired with Menc&iacute;a dry red wine

🍰The dessert is coconut cake with apple rum, which is a dessert version of coconut fragrance

👣Visit restaurant: Floriana Restaurant
