nöla

Inside the Casa del Doncel

nöla is in the Plaza de San Vicente, with its entrance on Calle Arcedianos 20, inside the Casa del Doncel, the medieval house in the upper part of Sigüenza that belonged to the family of Martín Vázquez de Arce. It is run by Jorge Maestro and María Viqueira, who worked for years in top restaurants in Catalonia and the Basque Country before opening their own. Jorge, who runs the kitchen, has passed through the houses of Santi Santamaría, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Arzak, Martín Berasategui and Josean Alija. Their motto is to unite tradition and avant-garde: local seasonal produce, mushrooms and game, with haute cuisine technique.

The nöla menu, of several tapas and dishes from the menu and suggestions, is made in limited numbers each week and costs between €57 and €64 depending on what goes in: ask whether any are left. For groups of more than six there are special menus.

Thursday to Sunday and two Wednesdays a month

Lunch Thursday to Sunday: served from 13:30 to 15:00 on Thursday and Friday, and from 13:30 to 15:30 on Saturday and Sunday. Dinner Thursday to Saturday, from 20:30 to 22:00. It also opens two Wednesdays a month, which you can see in its booking calendar. Book online through its website or on 949 39 32 46.

It is on the way through the upper old town: the Casa del Doncel, La Plazuela and the church of Santiago are on the same block, and the guided tour of the castle and the medieval town passes by the door.
