The restaurant of the week proposes dishes from the Andalusian period
Taking as origin the quiet **Cañero neighborhood in Córdoba**, Paco has created a unique space where the serenity transmitted by the staff and their coordinated movements, the light that filters through the glass ceiling and the set formed by crockery and glassware they transport the diner back in time and form the ideal context to focus on what is truly important: food.
We start the trip with an invitation for a hand washing ritual and after taking a seat the appetizers . It is a start without concessions, from the beginning you play with intense flavors, textures and temperatures.
As an example, it is worth highlighting the burnt lemon bread, semi-cured bonito and Albaqdunis.
Cucumber from the Savannah, yogurt, green olives and chamomile at Noor
Spinach, pecorino cheese, fresh walnuts and rosemary It is a perfect balance for a light pass that serves as a prelude to more forceful dishes.
The delicate aesthetics of the dishes and its highly studied geometry is another example of the perfectionism that has characterized Paco's cuisine since its origins.
The Karim of toasted almonds, sea urchin from the Sahara and green apple with sumac is a good example of this, a dish that has already become a restaurant classic on which variations have been introduced with each new season.
Roasted and rested pigeon with roasted cherries and pickled apple vinegar is another collage of nuances in harmony around one of Paco's fetish products: the pigeon, whose stitch he embroiders impeccably.
After several years of evolution with his project in Noor , Paco he has gained peace of mind and that has been a turning point that allows him to risk more. As an example of this appears the sea bass from the estuary of the Guadalquivir river with its tartar and emulsion of its heads where bitter notes are appreciated that are perfectly integrated.
The wine offer It is very well cared for and includes different pairing options as well as a complete menu that handles the team's latest signing with ease, Paula Menendez , by whom it is advisable to be advised.
The experience lived in Noor can only be called only because it is practically impossible to find in Spain a project where such a conscientious and well-documented historical search is combined with R&D work that is transferred to the plate in a masterful way. Here's to many more years of light in Noor!
