The La Fragua restaurant is at Calle Posadas, 9, in the centre of Trevélez, a few steps from the two hotels of the same house, La Fragua I and II. It serves Mediterranean and Alpujarran cooking, with Arab touches, and works with vegetables and produce that the family itself grows in its garden. It is the natural place to eat after strolling around the village's districts or coming down from the mountain.
What the garden gives
The menu follows the seasons: the house explains that it lets nature guide the menu, so that if the garden yields vegetables in abundance they appear on the plates, and when the season changes, they change too. Alongside that seasonal cooking are the typical Alpujarran dishes and, of course, Trevélez ham, the product that gives the village its fame. The website does not publish the menu with prices: the dishes of the day are told in the dining room.
Calendar and hours
The restaurant closes in mid-winter. In November 2026 its website says that it is open until Epiphany (6 January), and in previous seasons it has reopened in March. The service hours are checked at a link on its own website, and you book a table from there or on 958 85 85 73. If you are travelling between January and March, check first that it is open.
Getting to Calle Posadas
Trevélez has narrow, sloping streets, and the house recommends not following the GPS inside the village, because it leads to dead-end alleys where you cannot turn round. The practical thing is to leave the car in the public car park at the entrance and walk up, about two minutes to the centre.
Before and after eating
The restaurant fits into the visit to Trevélez: a walk from the lower to the upper district, buying ham and lunch. If you come from the Poqueira, this website's Sunday in Capileira and Trevélez ends here. To stay overnight, the La Fragua hotel is a minute's walk away, with a lounge with a fireplace in winter and a pool in summer. From the Poqueira, Trevélez is about 35 minutes by car from Capileira.
