martinez

Martínez is a product-driven, wine-forward bistro and is listed in the MICHELIN Guide (MICHELIN Guide: Good cooking). That simple accreditation tells you the cooking meets a consistent standard and that service and ingredient clarity are priorities — important when a menu is short, seasonal and priced at the higher end.

Chef‑owner Lucho Martínez runs the kitchen with a clear philosophy of “comida rica y vino todo el día,” so eating here feels deliberately focused on food and bottles rather than theatrics. Signature plates such as gnocchi de requesón with tapenade de kale and jus de pollo, plus a charred pollo a la parrilla, show how modest techniques and top ingredients deliver precise flavours.

The room is small and bustling, with limited seating and a bar that looks into the pass — ideal if you want to watch the rhythm of service. It’s a concise, confident spot for a serious meal paired with an attentive, carefully curated wine list.
