The Restaurant
Aponiente, located in an 18th-century tide mill in El Puerto de Santa María, is helmed by Ángel León, known as the "chef of the sea." León's culinary vision is a journey of gastronomic discovery, aiming to broaden minds and introduce novel concepts. With a profound commitment to sustainability, the chef surprises diners with innovative techniques and ingredients, such as seafood sausages, plankton, and cooking with seawater. Aponiente's philosophy revolves around recycling, utilizing the natural estuaries, and championing discarded fish. The restaurant currently holds three Michelin stars. León's contemporary cuisine, drawing from both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, extends surprises to the tasting menu, where maritime elements blend seamlessly with sweet textures. The experience is enhanced by a perfectly coordinated dining room and a wine cellar filled with treasures.
