A small dining room in a house in the Jewish quarter, with Mediterranean cooking and local produce and a seasonal menu; open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A Small Dining Room on the Hill of the Jewish Quarter
Sésamo occupies a house on Calle La Cuestecilla, 4, in Hervás's Jewish quarter, a street with flights of steps. It presents itself as a casa de comidas with Mediterranean cooking, quality produce and a menu that changes each season. The Hervás Tourism listing gives it 36 diners between the dining room and the terrace, so at weekends it is best to call ahead. The same house also rents an apartment in the village, Sésamo Apartamento; details are on its website.
What the Published Menu Offers
The menu on its website mixes the local larder with nods from elsewhere, and gives an idea, because the dishes change with the season. Among the starters, from €13 to €19, there are cochinita pibil brioches with guacamole and chipotle, roast pullet and mushroom cannelloni with foie sauce, confit boletus with a free-range egg at 64 degrees and potato foam, boletus risotto, roast aubergine with lime hollandaise and goat's cheese, charcoal-roast leeks with smoked eel and a board of artisan Extremaduran cheeses.
Main courses run from €18 to €27: wild salmon tartare with trout roe, roast octopus with sweet potato and red mojo, oven-baked cod loin with red curry, hoisin-glazed pork ribs, charcoal-grilled duck magret with pear and vermouth, low-temperature boned suckling pig and grilled aged beef. Desserts cost €7, and the bread service, €2; gluten-free bread is the same price. The menu marks the dishes suitable for vegetarians or that can be adapted. With half a starter, a main course and dessert, reckon on about €40 per person without wine; confirm prices on arrival, because the menu on the website may not be the day's.
Three Days a Week Outside Summer
From 17 September to 30 June it opens Friday, Saturday and Sunday at lunchtime, from 14:00 to 15:30, and Friday and Saturday evenings, from 21:00 to 22:30. Monday to Thursday it is closed. From 1 July to 16 September it opens on more days, with the same lunch and dinner hours: check the summer table on its website before going. Book on 624 856 787 or 927 473 031, at info@sesamocasadecomidas.com or with the website form, which asks for the date and number of diners. The website says nothing about dogs or high chairs: ask when booking.
On Foot Between Steps
It is right in the Jewish quarter and is reached on foot: walk down from the Corredera along narrow cobbled streets, and leave the car outside the quarter. If you take the sunset guided tour, the route passes the steps of La Cuestecilla and leaves you with the door located for coming back to dinner. Before eating, take a turn round the Jewish quarter or climb to the Santa María viewpoint, a few minutes away.

Qué pedir: the seasonal menu with produce from the valley; ask for a table in the dining room if it rains and on the terrace if it is fine
