Top choice in Huelva


Celebrating the flavours of his native Huelva, Chef Xanty Elias's exuberant mutli-course menus have earned him Michelin star status since 2015. Reserve ahead for a table in the sleek stone-walled dining room, and settle in for a feast that draws equally from Huelva's coast and mountains, prominently featuring the region's famous gambas blancas (white shrimp), chocos and DOC Iberian pork.
