L’Atelier

Las Alpujarras


Set in a traditional 350-year-old house in the hamlet of Mecina Fondales, 4km south of Pitres, this long-established, candlelit restaurant is worth the trip, unveiling a feast of globetrotting vegetarian and plant-based dishes: spiced couscous, hummus shawarma, coconut tofu curry, wild-mushroom risotto. Book ahead, particularly outside summer. Local produce fuels the kitchen, and the French owners also run cooking courses on request.

L'Atelier doubles as a fuss-free B&B, with a couple of cheerful, homey rooms.
