Probably the greatest gastronomical experience of my life! Cannot fault a single thing about our experience here. We started with a tour of the beautiful vineyards along with a complimentary welcome drink, and were then seated in the beautiful garden area under shady trees for the 7 course tasting menu. The food was delicious and attractively presented, with generous portions. The wines were a brilliant accompaniment to each course, and our sommelier Gabriela provided excellent information about each wine (as well as a couple of top ups along the way). Our main server Ariadna was attentive and friendly and looked after our every need. Just a wonderful day. Thank you everyone!

We wanted to combine a good meal with good wine. We came across Fogon and had an enjoyable meal.

Disappointing elements were (we booked same day) and were told we couldn’t have a table in the garden yet two small tables remained unused during our time there. Nobody really wants to sit inside.

Secondly that our waiter disappeared mid way through our meal. Later courses were brought out by different people while he worked on a computer.  I’ve never had that at a high class restaurant before

That said while we had him, he was good as was our sommelier. (Nicolas and Ramiro)
