A Bib Gourmand beside the Puerta del Acebuche: Extremadura and Argentina in dishes to share, filled pasta and grilled meats. Closed on Sunday.

Javo, Carmen and the Puerta del Acebuche
Acebuche is the home of Javo and Carmen, a couple who met while working at El Invernadero in Madrid, according to the Michelin Guide. They opened at number 3 Calle Santa Marina, at the foot of the alcázar of the Dukes of Feria and next to the Puerta del Acebuche, from the early 17th century, which gives the restaurant its name. Their cooking brings together the couple's two origins, Argentine and Extremaduran, and almost everything is made on the premises. The Michelin Guide gives it a Bib Gourmand, its distinction for careful cooking at a moderate price; it is not a star.
Empanadita, sorrentinos and charcoal-grilled bondiola
The menu is short and changes; this is what it publishes on its website today. To start, the Argentine empanadita of Extremaduran veal with chimichurri, at €3 each. Then dishes designed for sharing: the Iberian vitel toné, a carpaccio of Iberian pork tenderloin with vitel toné sauce and fried capers (€17), golden salt cod with carbonara sauce (€20), leeks with Iberian jowl torreznos (€18), the fresh pasta medialuna filled with variegated scallop and squid (€20) and the lamb sorrentino, pasta filled with caldereta in meat broth (€21). There are grilled veal sweetbreads with oloroso (€22), tripe with Iberian matambre (€21) and boned Angus rib (€26).
From the grill come two meats with a side: Iberian bondiola, about 400 g (€36), and an entrecôte of aged Simmental beef, about 450 g (€39). Desserts cost €7: chocotorta of chocolate and dulce de leche, orange tocinillo de cielo or figs in syrup with cheese cream. The artisan bread is charged at €3. The Michelin Guide notes that half portions can be ordered, the way for two people to try more dishes.
Wines from the Ribera del Guadiana and from Patagonia
The wine list follows the same crossing: many Extremaduran wines, from Balancines, Valdealto or Buche, alongside malbec and sauvignon blanc from Patagonia, a chardonnay from Mendoza and a Barolo. For dessert there are fortified and sweet wines: an oloroso, a Pedro Ximénez and a late-harvest Extremaduran viognier.
Evenings only on Friday and Saturday
According to its website, it opens for lunch Monday to Saturday, from 13:30 to 15:45, and also on Friday and Saturday evenings, from 21:00 to 23:00; it is closed on Sunday. The Michelin Guide lists it as closed on Monday too, so call first on that day. There is no online booking: book on 924 553 320, on 679 880 937 or by WhatsApp to that same number.
When you leave, the alcázar of the Dukes of Feria is next door, and the Plaza Grande and the Plaza Chica are a few minutes' walk away. If you spend the night in Zafra, the Parador is in the alcázar itself.
