Casa Ruy Lopez

Located in the part of town most popular with tourists, this restaurant is a leading name in Zafra’s culinary heritage. Now completely renovated, it has taken on a new lease of life in the hands of the couple running it. Carmen and Javo, who met at the one-Michelin-star El Invernadero in Madrid, decided to head off on their own and, in so doing, transformed the cuisine on offer here, skilfully combining the cooking of Extremadura with that of Argentina in a nod to their respective origins. Only one concise menu is available, although medias raciones are also an option.
