RESTAURANT GUIDE: Los Patos Granada

Los Patos Gastronomic Restaurant is part of Palacio de Los Patos (read our separate hotel review here) in Granada and is beautifully located in the hotel’s garden located on the ground floor of the building. The innovative restaurant serves up traditional Spanish dishes matched with local wines.

This friendly, intimate and relaxed restaurant with 65 covers is serving up traditional Spanish dishes with its gastronomic menu being based on natural and locally sourced produce. The service is friendly and attentive and the staff is knowledgeable and are gladly talking guests through the dishes in great detail.

The chefs use advanced culinary techniques when preparing the carefully selected ingredients such as Granada avocado, Alpujarra cheese and Trévelez ham resulting in traditional Andalusian dishes such as Sacromonte’s omelette, Salmarejo and paella.

The selection of croquettes is crispy and the local Salmorejo served with anchovies is delicious as well as the duck risotto and the mushroom risotto which are both rich in flavour.

The barramundi dish is fresh and served with vegetables and the oxtail is gratinated and served with potatoes.

Other popular dishes on the menu are sea scallop salad with citrus and saffron, red tuna filet with lime and wasabi cream and the rack of suckling lamb served with couscous, cucumber, and mint yoghurt salad.

There is a great selection of desserts to chose from and the brownie served with cinnamon ice-cream is a real winner together with the interesting combination of orange and sweet potato sorbet which is both sweet and refreshing.
