Starting their careers in the 1980s in renowned restaurants, Morillo and Salinas have accumulated experience and professionalism reflected in the quality of their establishment.

In 2002, they brought to life what would be the first Bodega La Solera Restaurant, located on San Antonio Street.

La Despensa del Aceite

In this great place, as the name suggests, one of the main protagonists is olive oil. A distinctive feature of this place is that when you visit, one of the first things they place on your table is a good plate of olive oil and bread.

Two things we love about this place should also be mentioned: firstly, the staff is fantastic, very friendly and approachable at all times. Secondly, they cut and serve the Iberian ham directly to your table. In fact, you can see it being cut right in front of you.

La Despensa del Aceite is another place we usually go to on special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. The treatment by the waitstaff here is exceptional, making you feel at home and wanting to come back. In addition to the freshly cut Iberian ham and the olive oil they offer, we recommend trying any of their meats from the menu, which, when paired with the various sauces they offer, are delicious.

Not forgetting a classic dish of Mediterranean cuisine like croquettes, that’s a must-try. If you add a good beer or wine to all this, you’ll have an incredible experience. However, we recommend booking in advance as this restaurant is in high demand.
