La Lobita

The history of this restaurant—a culinary mecca for mushroom lovers—is also a testament to a passion for hospitality. Chef Elena Lucas, with great humility, represents the third generation of her family to work in the kitchen here.

The restaurant's name is a loving tribute to her grandmother, Luciana Lobo, and helps diners better understand her deeply personal and creative cuisine, which explores ancestral flavors and values the local environment and its natural resources.

Together with her husband and her sommelier, Diego Muñoz, Elena Lucas strives to engage in a culinary dialogue with her guests, as if she were taking them on a walk through the forests of her region. One of the secrets to her success is that she harvests only the mushrooms she needs each day, washes them with water, and dries them in the open air.
