The story
Casa José is a contemporary restaurant at Abastos 32 in Aranjuez, listed as Recommended by the Michelin Guide in 2026. It runs two menus under one roof, one for the restaurant and one for the Atelier.
The restaurant asks guests to imagine Aranjuez with eyes closed: worked earth, the texture of vegetables. Opening them, the colors of the town appear on the plate. The Atelier is the more experimental side. Its cooking is improvised from experience and memory, and aims at a natural, local and healthy way of eating.
The kitchen draws on the town's historic market gardens, where growers tend crops until the fruit ripens and is carried to the kitchen. The We're Smart Green Guide gave Casa José 4 Radishes in 2026. Lunch and dinner are served, with outdoor seating and private parties also on offer.
