Mantúa

Chef Israel Ramos orchestrates a sophisticated dialogue with the Andalusian terroir at Mantúa, where the mineral depth of the Albariza soil informs every plate. The journey begins with a spherical interpretation of zanahorias aliñadas, a technical marvel that releases the vibrant aroma of cumin and sherry vinegar upon the palate. Local seafood is treated with clinical precision; hake is poached in cow fat to achieve a silken, translucent texture, while the liquid buñuelo of sea anemone offers a saline explosion balanced by manzanilla-infused alioli. Traditional Cádiz recipes are deconstructed and rebuilt with modern finesse, notably a cuttlefish stew that marries tender cephalopod with a deeply reduced, umami-rich broth. The experience is anchored by the scent of aging flor from the extensive sherry list, enhancing the charred notes of local venison. Each dish reflects a commitment to refined textures and the heritage of Jerez, delivered with a minimalist aesthetic.
