The dining room of the hotel in the former Trinitarian convent: traditional Extremaduran cooking with modern touches, regional wines and a game menu in season.

The Cooking
El Convento is the restaurant of the Hotel Valle del Ambroz, the four-star hospedería of the Junta de Extremadura built on a 17th-century Trinitarian convent. The dining room is described as elegant, cosy and quiet, designed for unhurried eating. It serves traditional Extremaduran cooking with modern touches and top-quality produce, with a selection of regional wines.
Its listing shows dishes such as confit boneless suckling pig on potato and apple parmentier, hake stuffed with prawns and Iberian ham on shellfish cream, or a salad of confit sardines with Sierra de Gata PDO oil, nuts and Acehúche cheese. For dessert, dark chocolate coulant with cream ice cream.
Menus and À la Carte
Besides the à la carte, it has a set menu of the day, an Extremaduran gastronomic menu made with products with designation of origin and geographical indication from Extremadura, a children's menu and a vegetarian and vegan menu, with dishes such as warm apple carpaccio with green mustard and Acehúche cheese or the wood-roasted vegetable zorongollo. The menus can be downloaded from the Hospederías de Extremadura website, where the current prices are given.
The Game Menu
In the 2026-2027 season, available from October, it serves a five-course gastronomic game menu, from €55: wild boar loin salad with tomato jam, stewed quail fritter with escabeche cream, creamy fallow-deer rice with confit artichoke, stewed venison ingot with Almoharín figs and, for dessert, warm white chocolate soup with almond truffles, fig and pistachio. It can be accompanied by a pairing of Extremaduran wines. It is also open to those not staying at the hotel, and the table is booked by phone only.
Hours and Booking
According to the network of hospederías, breakfast is served from 8:00 to 10:30, lunch from 13:30 to 16:00 and dinner from 20:30 to 23:00. These are approximate hours that may vary, so call beforehand on 927 474 828, which is also the restaurant's booking number. It publishes no closing days. On the ground floor, beside the main door, the hotel café has an extensive drinks list for a coffee or a drink at any hour.
Getting There and What to Combine
The hospedería is on the Plaza del Hospital, in the centre of Hervás. If you are staying in the village, see the page for the Hospedería Valle del Ambroz. To walk off the meal, the Jewish quarter and the church of Santa María are a stroll away, and the Pérez Comendador museum is in the same old town. In autumn, the game menu fits with an outing to the Temblar chestnut trees or with the Magic Autumn festivities.
