Restaurant at the Hotel Matías

A dining room on the lagoons road

The restaurant of the Hotel Matías is on the lagoons road, at km 0.8, less than a kilometre from Ruidera and already inside the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park. You do not need to be staying to eat. It has a dining room for about 60 people, a lounge with sofas and television, a bar, a large terrace used in summer and a landscaped garden area. There is its own car park, so you arrive, park and eat without going back into the village or looking for a spot by the shore of a lagoon in mid-August.

La Mancha cooking, no published menu

The house makes the most typical dishes of La Mancha cuisine. Its website does not publish the menu, set menus or prices, and limits itself to speaking of balanced value for money: if you want to know what is on that day or how much the set menu costs, ask when you call 926 528 156 or write to [email protected].

Hours and closures

It opens at lunchtime, from 13:00 to 16:00, and in the evening, from 20:00 to 23:00. It operates all year, except on the days when the hotel is closed: 22 to 26 December and 30 December to 2 January. If you are sleeping in the park in winter, it is a safe dinner without taking the car.

With children and with a wheelchair

It is a comfortable place for families: it has a play area for children, and the terrace and garden give fresh air in summer. The premises are adapted for people with disabilities and reduced mobility, and there is a smoke-free area.

Before and after

It is the natural lunch after a morning of kayaking on the Colgada lagoon or the waterfall route of the Sunday of waterfalls and kayaking. If you stay overnight, the Hotel Matías is in the same building, with its pool.
