The grill
The heart of the place. Holm oak, charcoal and a grill that never goes out during service.
More than a grill
We have spent years 50 metres from the sea and a step away from the Cádiz pastures. Everything comes from there: native Retinto beef, cattle we dry-age ourselves, fish from the local market and a bar that reinvents itself. Holm-oak embers, plain technique and no rush.
Fire and produce
Holm oak and charcoal. A crisp crust outside, juicy in the middle. Every cut has its own timing and its own distance from the fire, and nobody rushes it.
The house
Three things hold up the menu at El Perejil. These.
The bar
Small plates to begin with, made from local produce and free to change whenever they should.
The sea
The fish market is next door. Wild bluefin tuna, prawns and fish that arrives in the morning.
What we offer
A restaurant is more than a set of well-laid tables.
