Frases

This centrally located restaurant opposite the church of San Lorenzo, in an attractive venue that catches the eye with its towering arch and exposed brick walls, gastronomy is viewed as its own language and each of its dishes as a sentence ('frase' in Spanish) that tells a story which, where possible, is connected to personal memories and local history. The project is headed by María Egea and Marco Antonio Iniesta, with the former in charge of the front of house and the latter the kitchen. The elegance with which the concepts of roots and tradition are brought up to date comes as a pleasant surprise and is showcased only in their tasting menus (Origen and Tierra). Dishes you are likely to find here include Jamón, with an excellent combination of flavours similar to those of traditional stew, and their Chato murciano, a terrine made from roasted pork cheeks and jowl. The service couldn't be friendlier!
