Palacio Gastronomico - Úbeda

The place looks absolutely new, interior is probably the nicest modern restaurant in the area. We had a tapas lunch, first we got a small tasty salat , much more than the standard olives on the house. The tapas were fresh, interesting and good. The chairs are comfortable. friendly and good service.

Not expecting to find this quality of food in Ubéda, it was simply amazing and the large tasting menu was VERY reasonable in price... Chef Pedro Hervás was active even in presenting the amazing dishes which was a tour in traditional cuisine and modern Spanish. I will be back when I pass this little gem and I expect to see a Michelin star... it's deserved.

We had a light (tapas) lunch and wine on the terrace since we had our dog with us. We chose it because there were a couple of business men eating lunch always a good sign! We were given 2 delicious small skewers of octopus and vegetables before ordering, then ordered several other tapa. All were delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant.

We were looking around for a place for lunch (not at all an easy task in regional Spain at siesta time! and decided to try the cafe attached to the new Palacio de Ubeda. It 's located around the corner from the Hotel and restaurant entrance. We were so delighted with not only the interesting lunch menu and food presented, but also the service, so we decided straight away to go and book a table for our Wedding Anniversary dinner that same night. We were not at all disappointed! The service was friendly and helpful, despite their limited English and our very limited Spanish, as the delightful waitress and waiter went to trouble to explain every plate of our 10 course degustation menu in detail. The food was amazing, innovative yet had very Spanish style and flavours. Presentation was fabulous. And most amazing, for us Australians, was the price. Only €40 each! With house wines it would have been only €49, but being a special occassion for us we opted for cava and a bottle of wine. The only surprise was that we were the only people dining that night, but it was still winter menu and the Restaurant had only opened 4 months ago. It deserves to be a great success!

Maravilloso, los camareros, tanto el chico como las chicas, fueron muy amables y rápidos. La comida estuvo excelente, ¡deliciosa! Gracias.
