In an exclusive gastronomic collaboration, chefs Manuel Martínez and Carlos Julián present a unique culinary experience: the “4 Hands Menu,” where both merge creativity and tradition to offer a sensory journey through carefully selected dishes. This seven-course tasting menu is a perfect combination of flavors, textures, and innovative techniques that showcase the best of Mediterranean cuisine.

Invited Chef: Carlos Julián (Chef at Hospes Palau de la Mar – Ampar Restaurant)

He leads an ambitious and highly innovative kitchen, always using locally sourced ingredients harvested by regional producers. His command center is located within a luxury boutique hotel, but he has managed to give it its own unique character. His goal over the years, as he states, “is to return hotels to their rightful place in the city’s culinary scene,” and this is no easy task. Day by day, he creates a trendsetting cuisine, with local products as its foundation, elevating traditional recipes to the realm of avant-garde cooking. To win this battle, his tools are learning and observing new trends, transforming traditional food into a true experience. Without a doubt, a gift for the senses.

Executive Chef: Manuel Martínez (Chef at Hospes Palacio de los Patos – Los Patos Restaurant)

Manuel Martínez defines his cuisine as “traditional flavors of the land with a modern and dynamic presentation, keeping it alive to surprise the customer day by day.” With deep Andalusian roots, his desire to pay homage to his native Seville is reflected in every dish he creates.

Since his arrival at Hospes Palacio de los Patos, his passion has transformed the menu and events into a celebration of joy and expressiveness. Using local km 0 ingredients, each bite is a journey to the land surrounding the majestic Alhambra, where freshness and authenticity intertwine. Additionally, the chef strives to tell stories through his recipes, inviting diners to experience not only the flavor but also the culture and tradition behind each creation. His commitment to sustainability and respect for Andalusian culinary heritage ensures that each visit is a unique and unforgettable experience.
