Jesús Segura, inside the Hanging Houses
The restaurant occupies one of the Casas Colgadas, the buildings that hang over the Huécar gorge and are the image of Cuenca, at Calle Canónigos 3, next to the Abstract Art Museum. It is run by Jesús Segura, a Cuenca chef with more than twenty years in the trade, who began his project in 2015 with Trivio and moved it here. His cooking starts from the surroundings, the land and the province's producers, with tradition and memory as the starting point, and reinterprets them. It is a table for special occasions: you come for a long meal, not to eat in passing between two visits.
Two menus and no à la carte
There is no à la carte menu. You choose between two tasting menus, which change with the season according to the best produce available.
Volver, of 10 courses, costs €85, and the wine pairing €45 more. It is a return to Cuenca tradition and the products of the past, the option if you want to understand what was eaten in Cuenca as told by a local chef.
Cocinamos Cuenca, of 15 courses, costs €135, and the pairing €65. It is the most complete tour of what the house understands as Cuenca cooking today.
With the pairing, the long menu comes to over €200 per person: factor that in before booking. If anyone has allergies or restrictions, say so when you book, because the menus are fixed.
What time you sit down
The hours it publishes are the start of service: at midday, Wednesday to Sunday, you are seated between 13:30 and 14:15; in the evening, Wednesday to Saturday, between 20:30 and 21:15. After that the meal lasts as long as ten or fifteen courses take. It is closed on Sunday evening, Monday and Tuesday. Book on its website, where the booking conditions are; for private spaces and events, at [email protected] or on 644 009 795.
Before and after
It is two minutes' walk from the cathedral. If you have a car, leave it in a car park in the lower part or at the castle and walk. The natural walk after lunch is to cross the San Pablo bridge and see from the other side the façade where you have just been sitting.
What to order: The Volver menu, of 10 courses, is the way in; the Cocinamos Cuenca, of 15, is the full experience.
