Cuisine at El Ladrón de Agua

El Ladrón de Agua is a travellers’ refuge, an oasis of peace and a place where guests can discover the ins and outs of the city of Granada and its history. It is also a centre for art and culture in the city, and a place to get together.

Problems involved in running a small restaurant within the hotel: limited space, high service cost for diners, etc. These should not, however, prevent us from sharing Granada’s gastronomic culture with our guests and local residents too.

Andalusia is a rich region, both for its age-old tradition and its diversity. Alongside well-known dishes, whose fame is justly deserved, Granada also has hundreds of gastronomic delicacies unique to the region. Add these to its special microclimate, its special micro-culture, and a special way of celebrating… in danger of being lost. Granada is, in this sense, a workshop for Andalusian cuisine, being the most diverse of all the region’s provinces. Cuisine from the mountains, the coast, the hard lands of the plateau, the fertile plain, of farm hands, shepherds and fishermen… Moorish, Jewish and Christian cuisine, combined through art and necessity over the centuries.

Our challenge is to create simple, day-to-day dishes, rooted in tradition, using strictly seasonal produce, offering unbeatable value for money and an important innovative element. In doing so we aim to help recover and vitalise the cuisine of Granada and Andalusia as a whole.

The results of this philosophy are the seasonal menus you have before you. Each year we will have 4 series, each offering 6 daily menus, Tuesday-Sunday.
