THE RESTAURANT EL LAGO IS COMMITTED TO MORE SUSTAINABLE GASTRONOMY.

Marbella, January 26th, 2023.- El Lago restaurant is located in Greenlife Golf, in the heart of Elviria Hills, in Marbella, and in it you can enjoy the beautiful views of the lake that gives it its name and the golf course that surrounds it.
Recognized with a Michelin Star since 2005, it currently has Fernando Villasclaras at the head of its kitchen, where he builds a pure gastronomic proposal based on seasonal and zero kilometer products.

Since its opening in 2000, one of the pillars of El Lago has been to establish a close link with the farmers and producers of its surroundings and the Malaga-born chef, born in Nerja and trained at the School of Hospitality in Benahavís, has fit perfectly into this philosophy, even betting on the creation of a 100% vegetarian menu, made with the best fruits from the land.
Thus, in the Terra menu we find delicate morsels such as mini eggplant pickled in sherry with pine nut baba ganoush, Estepona radish in caper salmorreta and green bean tartar, flaky potato and vine-cured egg yolk.

In addition to the vegetarian proposal of El Lago, Villasclaras has created the Sazón menu, which apart from vegetables includes fish and meat dishes with textures and flavors that come from its roots, such as the red mullet from Marbella with hollandaise of its livers and mango; the grilled veal heart gizzards in bigarade sauce, green beans and harissa; and the suckling goat with mustard, capers and grilled endive.

Both tasting menus share the beginning with the sustainable vegetable consommé, an elaboration that arises from the use of the vegetables of the restaurant and served with a touch of Palo Cortado; and they also have in common the sweet part, in which we find La Axarquía: sweet potatoes with cane honey and muscatel grape granita and roasted parsnip with laurel sorbet, pear and pecan nuts.
