El Paraíso de los Sentidos Restaurant

El Paraíso de los Sentidos is the restaurant of the Hotel Parque de Monfragüe, the four-star hospedería that the public Hospederías de Extremadura network has in Torrejón el Rubio, on the Plasencia to Trujillo road. It is about 15 minutes by car from Salto del Gitano along the EX-208, at the southern entrance to the park. It is a hotel dining room open to anyone who turns up, with breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

Windows to the sierra and a separate café

The dining room has large windows with views of the National Park. Next to it is the hotel café, with an open-air terrace facing the park, which works as a bar for a coffee or something quick without sitting down to a meal. The hotel also has an astronomical viewpoint in the garden: Monfragüe has had Starlight certification since 2017, and the hotel cites it among its reasons to stay here.

The network's menu and set menus

The cooking is traditional Extremaduran with regional produce and the odd modern twist. The network publishes dishes such as cecina (cured beef) salad with sheep's cheese, mango cream and pistachios, low-temperature cod gratinated with roast apple, quail millefeuille in escabeche with pear in red wine or the dark chocolate volcano with red berries. You can order à la carte or choose from several menus: the menu of the day, children's, vegetarian and vegan (with dishes such as warm apple carpaccio with Acehúche cheese or the wood-roasted vegetable zorongollo) and an Extremaduran Gastronomic Menu made with products with a designation of origin or geographical indication from the region. The website does not publish the price of these menus; ask when you book.

The 2026-2027 season game menu

Since October 2026 the hospedería has served the network's game menu, offered at only five hospederías, this one among them. It has five courses: wild boar loin salad with thyme and tomato jam, stewed quail fritter with escabeche cream, creamy fallow deer rice with confit artichoke, stewed venison ingot with roast apple parmentier and Almoharín figs, and white chocolate soup with almond truffles, fig and pistachio. It costs €55 per person including VAT, and includes water, bread and coffee. The menu suggests pairing it with three Extremaduran wines (a rosé from Bodegas Bonaval, an alarije from Bodegas Coloma and a mountain wine from Península Viticultores); ask whether the pairing is extra. You book by phone, and you do not need to stay at the hotel.

Three services a day, every day

The network gives approximate hours, with possible small changes: breakfasts from 8:00 to 11:00, lunches from 13:30 to 16:00 and dinners from 20:30 to 23:00. It does not publish a closing day. Book on 927 455 278, the hotel's number; the hospederías' central booking line is on 900 101 462.

Dinner at the park's southern exit

For dinner if you are sleeping in Torrejón el Rubio or at the Hospedería Parque de Monfragüe, because the restaurant in Villarreal de San Carlos does not publish dinner hours. For a long lunch after a morning at Salto del Gitano and the castle, as the plan Sunday in Monfragüe suggests. And for families, for the children's menu, or for anyone who does not eat meat, who has a menu of their own here.
