Vandelvira

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

If you’re visiting Baeza’s marvellous historic quarter, a Renaissance jewel that has been declared a World Heritage Site, eating in this restaurant will add an extra-special touch to the experience. Vandelvira occupies part of a 16C monastery with comfortable dining rooms and beautiful covered cloisters where guests can nowadays enjoy a glass of manzanilla sherry. The focus of owner-chef Juan Carlos García is on two tasting menus of creative cuisine, with a preference for humble ingredients from his own vegetable garden or the region, which he transforms into haute-cuisine dishes that showcase

Los Sentidos

Modern Cuisine · Bib

€€

Los Sentidos occupies a restored house with an imposing stone façade in the centre of town, behind which the contemporary design of its dining rooms comes as something of a surprise (the main room stands out, in particular, as it is brighter and overlooks an internal patio). Owner-chef Juan Pablo Gámez is strongly committed to contemporary cuisine that showcases the bygone flavours and history of Jaén, adapting regional recipes with his modern culinary techniques. The à la carte, which always features plenty of daily suggestions, is complemented by two tasting menus: “GastrÓleO”, which extols

Retama

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

Retama (“broom” in English), takes its name from this bush with yellow blossom that is a very common sight on Spain’s Central Meseta and in the area around La Caminera, an exclusive and tranquil country hotel with a 9-hole golf course and even its own aerodrome. Its restrained yet charming backdrop of bare tables and Nordic-inspired decor is the perfect setting in which to discover the cooking of chef Miguel Ángel Expósito – a champion of local ingredients and produce and the culinary heritage of traditional La Mancha recipes. His cuisine revolves around three tasting menus (Tradición, Finca L

Aureum by Picualia

Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

If you’re tempted by a dining experience that revolves around extra-virgin olive oil, then Aureum, located inside the Picualia olive oil cooperative, could be the place. In addition to educational tours, tastings and other olive oil-related activities for visitors, you’ll also find a wine bodega next door to this attractive restaurant. The two chefs at the helm, Paco Simón and Toña López de la Huerta, clearly demonstrate that olive oil is the star of the show here, with a strong nod to local tradition both on the à la carte and their two tasting menus (Fenologicum and Labora Olivae II). We par

Cantina La Estación

Contemporary · Bib

€€

Although located slightly away from the historic centre, this authentic “cantina” full of surprises is well worth the journey! It features a simple tapas bar in the style of an old railway station, which leads to the dining room, the latter imitating the interior of an old train carriage. The couple in charge, Montserrat and Antonio José, focus on contemporary seasonal cuisine, with the intention of always enhancing what they offer with artisanal breads, a small selection of olive oils, an enticing tasting menu and at least one different stew every day (there are also off-menu suggestions). Th

Taberna Canela en Rama

Traditional Cuisine

€

Located in the historic centre of Baeza, a stone’s throw from the Cathedral, this establishment stands out both for its terrace and for the fact that it dedicates itself to extolling the culture of informal tapas. Enjoy an updated traditional offering designed for sharing, with portions and half portions to make it easier to try more things, and they offer a free tapa with each drink!

Acebuche

Contemporary

€€

Located inside the Puerta de la Luna hotel along one of the narrow cobbled streets of Baeza’s old quarter, this gastronomically focused modern restaurant has strong links with the world of olive oil, as highlighted in its name (“acebuche” is the Spanish name for a wild olive tree). The couple at the helm in the kitchen (he is from Brittany in France, his partner from Castellar, a small town nearby at the foot of the Sierra Morena), showcase their strong personal style here having previously worked in leading restaurants in France and Spain. Their cuisine is a fusion of sauces and techniques he

Cibus

Contemporary

€€€

An unexpected surprise in the centre of Úbeda! The small restaurant, with an open kitchen by the entrance and a dining room with stone walls downstairs that dates back to the 16C, has a philosophy that it classifies as a "culinary renaissance”, which is showcased via dishes that are constantly evolving and change with every season. There’s no à la carte; instead, you’ll find two surprise tasting menus entitled Legado and Renacimiento (both are plant-based and come with a wine-pairing option). Extra virgin olive oil from Jaén is a constant presence in the dishes served here.
