Hidden in gorgeous countryside 4.5km north of Arriondas is this double-Michelin-starred restaurant in chef Nacho Manzano's childhood home. Even the 'short' menús here are extravaganzas of a dozen or more dishes, showcasing creative preparations of local seafood and Manzano's trademark renderings of regional classics such as fabada (bean, meat and sausage stew) and pitu (farmyard chicken). Reservations recommended.
