桑坦德 最佳餐厅

Casona del Judío

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine

If you would like to eat in a really special setting, book a table at Casona del Judío, as it’s not every day that you get the chance to enjoy a Michelin-starred experience in an authentic 19C colonial-style property. Here, chef Sergio Bastard impresses guests by shining the spotlight on local ingredients as well as algae and herbs from the Cantabrian coast. He offers two tasting menus (Festival and Chef’s Table) on which guests can savour dishes influenced by the sea, with a fusion of textures and a constant focus on pinpoint presentation (we especially enjoyed the starters, such as the Verdi

El Serbal

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine

If a dining experience with picture-postcard views of the sea appeals to you, head to Sardinero beach where, on the first floor of the building known as Cormorán, you’ll find El Serbal. You’ll fall for all its culinary charms thanks to its honest approach and its roots in Cantabrian cooking, which is showcased here by an updated take on traditional cuisine that meets one of its key tenets: “to ensure that guests are happy and will want to return”. The à la carte, which is well complemented by three menus (Gastronomic, Tasting and a special Dom Perignon Moët Chandon option), champions the Canta

Agua Salada

必比登€€Contemporary, Traditional Cuisine

A modest, friendly and authentic restaurant with no luxurious frills but plenty of charm. Its simple façade on the street corner conceals a welcoming dining room decorated in French bistro style and dominated by shades of green and white, with an old open-view bar, bare marble tables and other intimate and attractive details, such as the bright candles which add a romantic touch. The traditionally inspired contemporary cuisine (with the option of half-plates throughout) is not lacking in boldness thanks to the addition of exotic flavours, mainly Asian but also from Central and South America (s

Bodega del Riojano

€€regional

A restaurant with an abundance of character, history and authenticity, plus a unique museum (Museo Redondo) teeming with works of art. This business, which first started out in the 1930s selling agricultural items and wines, is nowadays a classic address in the city. The traditional menu features dishes such as the popular Rioja-style braised snails, as well as hake with a velouté cream and peppers. We recommend booking a table in advance and enjoying an aperitif in the bar before moving on to the dining room.

Cañadío

€€Traditional Cuisine

Very few people who known Santander well are not familiar with Cañadío, a true institution in Cantabrian hospitality. The restaurant, which boasts two attractively arranged dining rooms (one with a bar and the open kitchen at its centre), has built its reputation on carefully selected ingredients as well as unpretentious yet honest cooking. Dishes you won’t want to pass up include the traditional fried squid (rabas), cuttlefish (cachón) in its own ink with a creamy risotto-style rice, and the spectacular hake fillet. The “Cañadío” lemon tart provides a fitting climax.

La Bombi

€€€Farm to table

The history of La Bombi, a classic address in Santander hospitality, is indelibly linked to the Puertochico district and the modest fisherman’s “taberna” (called La Bombilla, hence the current name) that opened its doors there in 1935. In this restaurant, with a small bar at the entrance and several small dining rooms simply laid out in contemporary style, the same focus on quality of ingredients and service remains to the fore. The splendid array of fish and seafood (including some from their own display tanks, which are then priced by weight) stand out here, although the menu also features s

Umma

€€regional

A restaurant on two levels which we like both for its cuisine and for its informal, New York-style decor, featuring high ceilings adorned with surprising reproductions of cave paintings, and bright brick walls. Here, young owner-chef Miguel Ángel Rodríguez focuses on modern cuisine with a contemporary touch, which he makes accessible to all through delicious and harmonious creations that look to the future while still taking inspiration from the traditions of the past. Attentive service plus copious dishes perfect for sharing complete the picture.

La Mulata

€€€seafood

One of the classic addresses in the Puertochico district of the city, La Mulata owes its name to a species of black crab that lives in the rocks dotted around its docks and jetties. It features a maritime-inspired minimalist interior which includes a bar that is always very busy thanks to its array of tapas and “raciones”, a striking fish and seafood display (close to it there’s also a live lobster tank), plus a pleasant dining room. The à la carte menu also offers a few meat dishes plus an interesting selection of savoury rice options with a focus on the sea. Make sure you try the superb pan-

Asador Lechazo Aranda

€€Meats and Grills

This restaurant boasts an attractive Castilian decor and a menu featuring traditional cuisine, including the occasional seafood dish, top-quality meat and delicious roasts cooked in a wood-fired oven. Roast lamb is the house speciality.

La Hermosa de Alba

€€Fusion

A restaurant with a fun, modern feel that is enjoying considerable success in the city. The menu here is contemporary in style with elements of fusion cooking and dishes designed for sharing.

Laila

€€regional

On the ground floor of a small rural hotel near Santander! Here, in a setting of simple contemporary elegance, you'll find a full menu of updated traditional cuisine, with modern details, and the option of a tasting menu, although the latter requires a reservation at least 24 hours in advance. The terrace is a delight on sunny days!
