Local de Ensayo Michelin-listed restaurant in the outskirts of Murcia
Chef David López elevates Murcia gastronomic traditions to the level of haute cuisine
Located in Puente Tocinos, just outside the city of Murcia, Local de Ensayo is the restaurant project of highly-regarded chef David López, and is included in the 2019 Michelin Guide along with only 10 other establishments in the whole of the Region of Murcia).
With three menus to choose from at between 45 and 65 euros per head, this is not a venue for a cheap snack, but an affordable choice for a special occasion and one where the food will most certainly not disappoint. Traditional dishes such as stews, omelettes and roast beef are elevated to the status of gastronomic treats by the use of innovative techniques, fresh, seasonal and ecological produce and a dashing experimentalism which combines them with far less common ingredients, some of them taken from Japanese cuisine and others from great European traditions.
Highly respected it may be, but Local de Ensayo is not an intimidatingly exclusive restaurant: it is spacious but intimate, with a capacity of only 32, and the décor is the immaculate design of Soraya Olivares. As such it is the perfect choice for an impressive dinner for two or for a small group, and for larger gatherings a catering service is also offered so that this unique gastronomic experience in the Region of Murcia can be enjoyed at large celebrations or at other venues.
Fans of fine dining take note: the Michelin guide talks of “a small eclectic restaurant with an open-view kitchen and an impressive interior design: the focus here is on creative, well-prepared and reasonably priced cuisine”. But Michelin inspectors are notoriously sparing with their praise, and Local de Ensayo is an experience not to be missed while in the Costa Cálida!
