Nublo

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€5.0 km

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

Alejandro Serrano

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€9.6 km

A restaurant that really leaves an impression thanks to its highly personalised working philosophy which is based around three core concepts: flavour, feeling and aesthetics. Here, chef Alejandro Serrano, who decided to return to his native Miranda de Ebro having trained at the Basque Culinary Center in Bilbao and in renowned restaurants such as Azurmendi, Coque, and DiverXO, shows that you can go against the tide and still succeed. In his elegantly contemporary eatery, enjoy dishes with a surprising focus on a traditional regional concept the chef refers to as “El Mar de Castilla” (in days go

La Vasca

A gastronomic institution in the city that opened its doors in 1926 and has now been run by three generations of the same family. Located on the first floor of a 19C building, it features a classic-contemporary dining room which is accessed via a staircase lined with old photos of the restaurant and its founder, Ángela Bilbao, who came here from a village in Vizcaya province with her husband, a native of Burgos, and set up the original “casa de comidas”.

Casa Toni

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€11.9 km

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

Restaurant€€5.0 km

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.

Lumbre

Restaurant€€€6.9 km

Lumbre boasts an impressive setting in a delightful 17C bodega with pleasant dining rooms suitable for individual guests and groups, an attractive underground cellar, an attic-style lounge for post-dinner drinks, plus dining options that are exclusively centred around three meticulously crafted menus: Origen (midweek only), Fuego, and Lumbre. The experience here usually starts off with a selection of appetisers (called La Huerta) in its stunning “calados” (underground tunnels in which wines were laid to down to age in days gone by).

La Vieja Bodega

Restaurant€€7.0 km

A restaurant with a touch of charm? This one has it in spades; in fact... it has restored a beautiful 17th century wine cellar! Here they see gastronomy as a pleasure to be shared and that is their priority, always highlighting the goodness of Rioja cuisine. In their well-kept dining rooms, all with a rustic feel, they offer a traditional menu, with modern touches and interesting suggestions of the day. We particularly liked the slow-cooked egg and their deliciously tender oxtail, stewed and shredded!

Alex Cool Club

Restaurant€€9.6 km

This restaurant with its urban and industrial atmosphere, dominated by the pink and grey tones of concrete, should be seen as the low-cost version of the award-winning Alejandro Serrano restaurant. Its kitchen, which integrates exposed steel into the décor as it is completely open to the dining room, offers a fun and informal proposal, reinterpreting the dishes of its big brother in a more casual way. The menu, with dishes such as ceviche-style prawn carpaccio and an open-face omelette with cod kokotxas, is rounded out with an economical daily set menu.
