€€€Contemporary
In this modern restaurant, located along a pedestrian street in the centre of Teruel’s old quarter, you will find a modern proposal with some touches of fusion. The extensive à la carte, which basically revolves around two premium products, Balfegó tuna and Wagyu beef (the cattle are raised locally on the Mudéjar Wagyu farm), is supported by a tasting menu called Temático de Atún (through a variety of hot and cold dishes, you can discover the different types of cuts). Here they take great care in the staging!

Método in Teruel offers contemporary dining with mixed reception. Food quality is polarizing; while many praise the innovative use of local ingredients and exceptional dishes like bluefin tuna, others criticize the excessive rawness, flavor sacrifice for presentation, and limited options. Service is generally described as attentive and efficient, though some experienced delays due to poor management. Ambiance ranges from elegant to unappealing. Value perceptions vary significantly, with some finding it worthwhile and others dissatisfied with charges for basic items like bread. Overall, it is a high-concept restaurant that may not suit all palates.
Recommended for adventurous diners seeking avant-garde cuisine.
€€Traditional Cuisine
Yain is a must for cod-lovers, featuring an à la carte with “media-ración” options alongside many other cod-inspired dishes such as cod with sea urchin cream and seafood spaghetti; cod gratin with Jiloca saffron, tomatoes and orange confit; cod with cauliflower cream and fried pancetta; and grilled cod with curried lentils. This is complemented by two tasting menus (Esencia and Epicure) requiring advance booking, and one “executive” menu only available at lunchtime midweek.

€€€Modern Cuisine
Run by a young couple and... gaining more and more fans in the mountains of Cuenca every day! Here, always with a modern approach that makes the most of seasonal products, everything revolves around two menus, a fixed menu called Fuentelgato and another called Carta Blanca that varies in the number of dishes, ingredients and prices, since it is aimed, as they themselves say, at those who like to enjoy themselves the most.

Located in the remote village of Cañete, Fuentelgato offers modern cuisine focused on seasonal ingredients, particularly fish and vegetables. Reviews highlight the exquisite flavor and innovative preparation, set within a cozy and quiet atmosphere. Service receives mixed feedback; while some praise the attentive staff, others report tension or pacing issues. Value is a significant point of contention, with many guests finding the small portions overpriced relative to the cost. Additionally, the wine list is criticized for lacking local options, being predominantly French. Despite these drawbacks, the culinary creativity remains a strong draw for adventurous diners seeking a unique gastronomic experience away from major cities.
Suitable for diners seeking unique modern cuisine in a remote location who are open-minded about portion sizes and value.
€€Traditional Cuisine
Completely surrounded by nature, in the heart of the Serranía de Cuenca and opposite the turn-off that takes us to the source of the Cuervo river, this rustic restaurant is perfect if you are looking for a little disconnection, or the warmth of the firewood in winter. They offer traditional cuisine that does everything possible to make the most of the surroundings, with good game meats and mushrooms in season (we loved their Revuelto de boletus y perrechicos).
