Nublo

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine

Occupying a 16th-century aristocratic property, Nublo is much more than just a restaurant. In fact, it has brought the gastronomic spotlight back to a town famous as the location for the largest concentration of century-old wine cellars in the world!Following an extensive interior design makeover, the restaurant has opted not to hide the scars of age, instead retaining spaces and dining rooms with lots of personality, such as the internal patio where you can see the goddess Nublo (at night, her transparent image is transposed onto a large ‘holy veil’). Here, chef Miguel Caño, who once worked a

Nublo in Haro offers modern cuisine within a 15th-century building, generally praised for its creative dishes, professional service, and unique atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight the excellent wine pairings and attentive staff. Conversely, negative feedback cites bland flavors, overly rapid pacing that disrupts comfort, and perceived pretentiousness. Some guests found the experience contrived and poor value for money, noting that the high cost did not justify the food quality or inconsistent service levels.

Suitable for diners seeking a unique historical ambiance and creative cuisine, but those sensitive to value or preferring a relaxed pace should proceed with caution.

Casa Toni

Bib Gourmand€€Contemporary

A modern and contemporary restaurant that comes as quite a surprise in this village anchored at the foot of a walled castle-fortress with streets steeped in history and buildings fronted by beautiful stone façades. In this eclectic and unexpected setting, the modern interior, dominated by the contrasts between red and white, features numerous references to wine production, providing the backdrop for cuisine with a strong Rioja flavour that combines typical recipes such as “Patorrillo a la Riojana” (lamb’s tripe and trotters) with other more contemporary-style dishes. An interesting gastronomic

Los Caños

€€Regional Cuisine, Traditional Cuisine

If you find yourself on a tapas and “pinchos” crawl in the La Herradura section of historic Haro, we can highly recommend a refuelling stop at Los Caños, occupying a delightful 16C palatial-style property. In this attractive restaurant, which has tastefully combined historic details with a more contemporary aesthetic, the emphasis is on deep-rooted traditional cuisine that has been able to take classic tapas to a higher gastronomic level, as showcased in options such as the pork sandwich with Morbier cheese, Iberian dewlap and cured egg yolk.

Housed in a historic building, the restaurant offers a pleasant rustic-modern atmosphere. Service is generally described as efficient and attentive, with staff often noted for their helpfulness. However, some negative feedback points to inconsistent meal pacing, long waits for menus, and occasional dissatisfaction with food preparation.

Allegar

€€€Traditional Cuisine, Contemporary

Briones is one of Spain’s most beautiful medieval villages and is also home to the superb Vivanco bodega- museum. Named after a local Rioja word that means “to scrape the plate clean”, “allegar” is the perfect way to define the approach to food at this restaurant inside the Santa María Briones hotel, where the culinary focus is on an updated take on Rioja cooking, featuring intense flavours and even the occasional hint of trompe-l’oeil. The restaurant is also home to an old and typical wine cellar, known locally as a “calado”.
