Restaurante Ginés Peregrín
Slow cooking with familiar flavors form the basis of the cozy restaurant around 10 minutes’ walk from Puerta de Purchena. Chef Ginés draws on his decade of cooking in Amsterdam to bring about a unique fusion of local produce with Asian touches. For example, his bullabesa almeriense soup comes with coconut milk instead of mayo, plus a hint of garam masala. Two tasting menus are available: the Almería focuses on traditional, local dishes (six courses, €59) and the house menu (five courses, €49). Wine pairing is available from the extensive list that includes a dozen local labels. The small venue has austere decor, but the dishes bursting with vibrant color more than make up for the plain surroundings.
