Almirez Restaurant

It is a small and cosy restaurant recommended in the first edition of the Michelin Guide. Good tables available for less than 35 €.

They have their own signature cuisine with seasonal produce that specializes in mushrooms dishes in the autumn: the tasting menu we had was spectacular: “migas extremeñas” (traditional Spanish cuisine made with leftover breadcrumbs, chorizo and bacon) with “huevos rotos” (fried potatoes and scrambled eggs), Caesar’s mushroom salad with mesclun (made from a selection of lettuces with other edible leaves such as dandelion greens, mustard greens, and radicchio) and a pine nut vinaigrette, cod with baked slices of boletus, Iberian pork cheeks with Pedro Jimenez sauce and foie.

Already returning from vacation we decided to stop in Hervás, a charming village in the province of Cáceres and lunch at the Almirez restaurant, as recommended by the Michelin Guide.

The experience was very pleasant, a success due to the fine cuisine and friendly treatment by all staff. We tried starters (salad and croquettes), fish (squid), meat (veal), dessert (chocolate) and wine (Sierra Cantabria) a pleasure thanks to the quality of the products and the good work of the cook (and founder of the premises).

The service, intimate and friendly while polite and professional, means that on a whole one can speak of an experience we will remember with pleasure.

Hervás is a fairly small town; however, they have everything needed for an unforgettable stay. In this case we will talk about the culinary aspect: it is that the Almírez restaurant is, surely one of the most interesting we’ve visited during our gastronomic journey of earth.

Specializing in mycology and traditional dishes, the tasting menu was exquisite, delicious. The mushroom-based dishes were memorable, and it certainly is a restaurant that has enviable value for money.

If you pass by Hervás, feel free to dine in Almirez. The service from the owners is wonderful, so I'm sure
