Hotel Luces del Poniente restaurant

A rural hotel dining room, open by reservation

The restaurant of the Luces del Poniente rural hotel, on Calle Lina de Ávila, in the lower part of Cercedilla, is open to non-guests, always by reservation. It is a hotel designed for quiet, and the dining room follows that idea, with a terrace with the Sierra de Guadarrama in front, which is its strong point. It is a table for eating calmly after a morning in the Fuenfría or at the pass, not for walking in unannounced.

Hours

Lunch from 13:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 20:00 to 22:00, with no closing days stated on its website. Outside those hours there is a tea menu, and the café with a terrace opens only in season. Breakfast is a buffet from 8:30 to 11:00, for guests.

The menu

The restaurant works with a seasonal menu; it currently has the winter one published on its website, which is where dishes and prices are checked. The restaurant's page does not repeat them, so if you want to know what there is before booking, open it or ask when you call.

Conditions for non-guests

For customers who do not sleep at the hotel, tables are for six people at most and you must book a table beforehand. The hotel also limits the number of children aged 0 to 10 at the same time to maintain the peace: if you are going with small children, get in touch before booking. Book on 918 52 55 87, by WhatsApp on 699 925 402 or at [email protected].

Getting there and what to do beforehand

It is about 45 minutes from Madrid. The hotel's website refers to the town council's directions for reaching it by public transport from Cercedilla station. By car, the Navacerrada pass is about 10 minutes away, and the Fuenfría valley with the Roman road about the same. In winter it fits after the snowshoeing from the pass. If you want to stay, the rooms of the Luces del Poniente hotel are upstairs.
