02 · Our craft

We believe the fireis an art form

In the heart of Granada, next to Teatro Isabel la Católica, we have spent forty-seven years cooking meat over holm-oak charcoal. A fire lit without pause since 1995, recipes that do not change, produce from this land and the steady hand of an entire family.

03 · The one who lit the fire

Carmen,the founder

She was the secret behind the flavour that has enchanted guests since 1979 — yet she never wanted to leave the kitchen to collect a medal. By five in the morning she was already preparing the migas, cleaning the fish, organising the day. Her daughter continues her work today with the same care.
