The Cuisine at the Casa de Carmona

Elegance Dining is an experience. The experience centers around the food, but it is that and all around. An elegant experience requires an elegant food, an elegant service, an elegant space and ambience. Gracia Real is just that.
We build regularity at every step in our operations every day, at all times looking for improvements to make; we are continuously creating, improving, and communicating robust procedural operations. Trust is the invisible hand in the hotel industry- You can’t see it, but it’s what works- Trust is built on regularity. |
Freshness Freshness is primordial: we usually go to market Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and buy the freshest, in the precise quantity which we expect to consume within two days. On arrival to our kitchen, we clean, cut, vacuum pack, label, date, and refrigerate every item. Respect The highlight is the respect for the produce – we do not serve a Sea Bass with a tomato sauce, nor with a licorice sauce, nor with anything that remotely could be as preposterous. We select sides that will be, literally, good company – we search for options that are viable, complementary and attractive – it is sometimes very personable: with what have I enjoyed this dish best in my life? Sometimes we will serve the Bass with a squash puree, or with a squash and potato gratin, or with a squash and artichoke “pisto” – the fish will never lose its dominance, and it will have a known vicinity, which you can safely interpret from reading the dish’s denomination. No pretense. |
Experience Experience sums up all the qualities described above. After having served and conversed with thousands of guests, produced more than a thousand catered events, we have learned what appeals to a wide audience and what does not. We are sure that what makes the grade to go on to our menus can be produced reliably, with impeccable freshness, every time. We have chosen to do world-class freshness within a sensible and understandable concept – such that you can come up saying -every time- nothing less than “how well we have eaten”. |
