Trivio restaurant dish
** CITY OF BASIN **
Raff-San Pedro (San Pedro, 58 tel. 969 69 08 55) €€€
Fusion cuisine based on Manchego and Mediterranean recipes by the chef Jose Ignacio Herraiz.
This cosmopolitan chef has traveled the world to learn the fundamentals of other cuisines. He notes in his letter that, nevertheless, he returns again and again to the local, understood in a broad sense: manchego and national.
The menu is changing, depending on the season and product. Even so, there are dishes that remain successful, such as the garlic soup cappuccino, the sautéed vegetables, the turbot with mushrooms and the shoulder of lamb.
The Raff menu is always a surprise, we think even for the chef.
trivium _(Colón, 25 tel. 969 03 05 93) _ €€€-€€€€
Trivio's is a solid gastronomic proposal, from La Mancha and militant in a thoughtful avant-garde with enormous potential.
Jesus Safe has achieved, together with the cook David Chamorro , give shape to one of the most interesting proposals in the region: through different menus delve into the product and the local recipe book experiments with acidifications, coagulations, fermented foods, fungi and yeasts.
The formula is giving brilliant results, something that is reflected in proposals such as its pickle sequences. With menus at €16 and €23.5 in the bar area and at €32.5, €45 and €65 in the restaurant they offer options for every occasion and type of client.

THE PEDROÑERAS
** Las Rejas ** (General Borrero, s/n tel. 967 16 10 89) €
Regional cuisine by Manuel of the Bear , perhaps one of the chefs who have given the most fame to the cuisine of La Mancha.
Manuel has put his family's longtime restaurant on the map of must-visit places in Castilla. And he has done it by taking advantage of the local raw material and sublimating the flavours. In the **single menu (40€) **, of course, they could not miss the purple garlic (in soup it is a delight) or birds like the pigeon or partridge.
The place, recently renovated, has gained in modernity and number of diners..
De la Osa is a teacher of teachers , so if it comes up, it's worth a long talk with him and soak up his knowledge.

SANTA MARIA DEL CAMPO RUS
Royal Inn of Santa Maria (Doctor Espejel, 5 tel. 969 19 63 05) €€€
Based on what some consider to be the best saffron in the world (Manchego), Julián García offers his superb paellas. For two years (2013 and 2015) this cook has been considered the best paellero in the world (and inland!).
Of course, it is not a surprise for those who know his virtuosity handling rice dishes, which have that different point that Las Pedroñeras garlic also brings. The restaurant is in a nice inn , ideal to consider a most romantic weekend.
