The Michelin Guide's review
A restaurant that has managed to adapt with the times to the delight of its guests. Despite the bright, renovated new look and cuisine that is more in keeping with contemporary trends, it still retains the informal character of the early roadside “mesón” first opened by grandmother Valentina and whose name recalls her Cuban roots. It is impossible to talk about El Bohío without mentioning celebrity chef Pepe Rodríguez, who champions the DNA of this area by highlighting the culinary legacy of La Mancha, while at the same time adapting its flavours and ingredients to the present day in line with one of his maxims: “the cuisine of old seen through the eyes of today”. His signature dishes here include lentils with Butifarra sausage, La Mancha-style gazpacho, and updated versions of “pringá del cocido”, with cabbage and broth. You can also add his famous tripe tapa to any of the menus (Traditional, Seasonal and Tasting).
