At El Monje, the culinary concept is rooted in the traditions of Castile and León, offering a menu that honours the history and flavours of Castile, reinterpreting its recipes with creativity and contemporary techniques.

Each dish seeks to highlight the region’s culinary heritage. Textures, flavours and locally sourced produce, but with innovative twists, adapted to today’s diner.

Chef Juan Agustín Rodríguez

Chef Juan Agustín Rodríguez leads the kitchen at Hospes Palacio de San Esteban. He does so with respect, honesty and care. His cooking is based on ‘Charra’ gastronomy, focusing on fresh, sustainable and organic ingredients, to break with its more rigid concept and create recipes where tradition and avant-garde find a balance.
