La Peculiar, Small Restaurant

Travelling cuisine with Aragonese DNA

That is how La Peculiar presents itself, a small, cosy dining room at number 9 Calle del Chorro, in the heart of Albarracín. The idea is to start from local gastronomy and take it to "peculiar" preparations and flavours, with ideas from elsewhere. It is not a grill or a traditional home-cooking house: it is the option for anyone who wants to try something different without leaving the old town, and a good Friday or Saturday dinner after the sunset visit.

Lunch and dinner, two formats

At midday the service revolves around the menu of the day. In the evening the format changes: a menu of sharing plates. The website publishes both menus as images and does not detail dishes or prices in text, and the cooking changes with the market. If you have allergies or want to know what is on that day, the house invites you to ask on WhatsApp before going.

To choose: midday suits better if you are visiting for the day and want to sit down to eat without rushing; the sharing-plates dinner fits a couple or a small group sleeping in the town.

Hours and booking

• Lunch: Tuesday to Saturday, from 13:15 to 15:15.
• Dinner: Friday and Saturday, from 20:30 to 22:00 (its contact page gives 20:15 as the opening time).
• Sunday and Monday: closed in its usual hours.

On long weekends and public holidays it publishes special hours. On the October 2026 long weekend, for example, it opened at midday on Sunday 11 and Monday 12, closed on Tuesday 13 and returned to its usual hours on the 14th. Check the website before going on dates like these.

Book in the reservations section of its website, by WhatsApp on 625 406 417 or on 978 812 807. The dining room is small: always book, and further ahead at the weekend.

Getting there and what to combine

Albarracín's old town is not for cars: leave the vehicle in one of the regulated car parks and walk up; Calle del Chorro is inside the old town. A Friday or Saturday dinner pairs well with the evening legends visit, which leaves at 18:00 from the Plaza Mayor and lasts about two hours. At midday, combine it with the guided visit and the cathedral or with the castle.

On Sunday and Monday, when La Peculiar is closed, you have alternatives: on the same street is El Rincón del Chorro, which out of season opens at midday Friday to Sunday, and for a special meal, El Batán, in Tramacastilla.
