Aponiente is the restaurant led by chef Ángel León, known worldwide for his commitment to the conservation and management of the ocean through research into new ingredients that reduce fishing pressure and promote sustainable fishing.
This revolutionary and avant-garde chef has discovered new foods for humans, such as marine phytoplankton, and has cultivated plants such as Zostera marina for the first time in history.
Restaurant awarded with Three MICHELIN Stars since 2017 and with the first and historic MICHELIN Sustainable Green Star in 2019 in recognition of its unwavering commitment to sustainable gastronomy.
Every day, the Aponiente team immerses itself in its own dream, in the salt marshes and in the waters that bathe the Costa de Cádiz in Andalusia, in the south of Spain. The application of ecological theory in its cuisine, research, gastronomic creativity and maximum use of the product, together with the work of environmental awareness, are the hallmarks of Aponiente.
Aponiente focuses all its efforts on achieving new developments that allow it to continue creating marine dishes to redefine the concept of gastronomy as a transformative force in 21st-century society. They now also offer a variety of non-alcoholic wines and other non-alcoholic beverages from The Blue Dolphin Store.
