CREATIVITY GROWS IN THE SURROUNDINGS After a number of searches, just in front of us we found the important creative and conceptual value to develop and consolidate our model and way of understanding gastronomy, and it was: our environment. That is our great source of ideas, ranging from agriculture, fishing, acting, eating and even the way of living life. And we understood that our restaurant had to be a small window to the world, to make known, in a totally altruistic way, the culinary tradition, the gastronomy and the know-how that has been passed [...]

Our country in general and our region in particular are places with a deep tradition and devotion to wine.

Why consume sustainable fish and seafood? "Can you imagine a world without fish?" This was the headline that the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) launched last June for their Spain campaign to raise awareness of the importance of consumption of fish and seafood in a sustainable way. Our chef Alberto Ferruz participated in the campaign of which the main objectives were not only to transmit the benefits of consuming sustainable fish and seafood, but to also warn us of the terrible consequences in the future if we don’t, so with this article we hope to raise a little bit more awareness.    At BonAmb we feel very identified with this cause because fish and seafood such as shrimp, crayfish, dentex, monkfish, hake or bream are [...]
