Wow, simply blown away. From start to finish this was an unforgettable artistic experience. Beautiful restaurant and involvement as you move through the meal. Most attentive waitstaff I've ever seen. And the food was not only creative, but delivered each time with something crazy and new. Worth a trip for sure.

Excellent high quality seafood place. Modern cuisine with some outstanding dishes. Great service and great wine pairings with each dish (some 18 or so .... ) Worth a trip to el Puerto de Santa Maria in Cadiz. The restaurant is located in an old tidal water mill that has been beautifully decorated. A top restaurant.

At last, a successor to Ferran Adria! Forget the El Bulli knock offs in Barcelona, here at last is a truly original mind obsessed with taking the products of the sea and making a form of gastronomic art with them. Well worth the trip from London for!

Lucky, we could get a table without booking in advance. Great dishes (art) accompanied by very friendly service. We loved it.

Just came out of Aponiente (2022, water planet menu). All family members felt a lack of words to describe this overwhelming experience… However; I’ll try to share a personal narrative.. Somehow, it was our best restaurant experience ever, whithout any doubt, even if we’re used to Michelin’s 3 stars… Chef Leon and his crew purpose sea creativity, emotions and pleasure at their upermost level : what an extreme bliss !!! You’d better try Aponiente. Especialy if you desire to rock your world and everything you know about sea food…

A three star Michelin restaurant that lives up to its reputation. Each dish is unique and is full of flavours. The waiters and waitresses are very professional too.

Although I loved the great location & service of this place and am normally very happy to experience experimental cuisine (Dani Garcia, Massimo Bottura, Atelier Krenn etc), this was the most difficult food I have ever experienced!!! I was very unimpressed by the food, as I felt like it was experimental to a point, which made you feel disgusted by the texture and taste. I was very happy when the dinner was over, after having spent a lot of money! In addition, I thought the taste and texture throughout all the courses was very similar. Everything was slimy, the use of algae powder was used in about every dish, butter and bread!! The dessert was a joke in itself- goat yogurt with syrup presented in the most basic way. Lastly, I thought the use of fat was so prominent, that one could not enjoy the sea food at all: mortadella and sausage made from fish, followed by bacon of fish etc. etc. On this level, food should be an experience but not a disappointment!.

Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this restaurant at all and would definitely not recommend it When a restaurant has 3 Michelin stars one has certain expectations so I was greatly disappointed with the dishes and the service. In comparison with other Michelin starred restaurants this one did not seem up to international standards and sadly attention to detail was lacking throughout the meal. The staff was inattentive and unfriendly, and restaurant is in a rather unsafe shady part of town. If you have 200euros to spend I would suggest dining elsewhere to avoid our disappointment

Great experience. Seafood at its best. 3 Michelin stars well earned

Beyond anything I have ever experienced food-wise before, eating lunch here was one of the best moments of a life already less ordinary. I am sure all of the superlatives have been done by now, but let me add this: The dedication to being the very best you can be, the commitment and passion that permeate every aspect of the site and the dining experience, are testimony to what an absolute triumph this place is. An ode to taking life in new, previously unexplored directions, and what those who are brave enough to walk that path can achieve.

Fantastic experience, all is excellent in this temple of gastronomy. Impressive location, all makes perfect sense after having learnt about the origins and the philosophy of the chef and his project. All dishes are simply an achievement of creativity and innovation, perfect texture, excellent product.

Amazing experience! Beats all previous restaurants, concerts, theme parks and man made sights. Note a few preconditions: you must like fish and sea food. You must be open minded to try what you never thought you would eat, trust me this team make miracles. A wine lover enjoys it more than if you stick to water. If you fulfill these conditions you will have a very pleasant and joyful three hours to talk about for a long time! The combination of flavor, texture, serving and choreography of every dish is hard to describe in words. Everything is very well and thoughtful put together to tickle every sense in your body. Even the amount of 17servings were pleasant, at other restaurants with high rank you leave as a stuffed man but here you float away with a big smile :) Finally I would like to recommend the lunch seating, then you will enjoy how the tide changes the landscape around the old mill.

Top top 🔝

Amazing experience. Each course is so creative and delicious. Seafood was so fresh!

Absolutely gorgeous. The food is hard to believe, the creativity, the products... The service is amazing full of simpathy and perfect coordination. The place itself is amazing, the surroundings are wonderful. A sublime gastronomical experience in every single sense.

Incredible food, service and experience. However, make sure you go on an empty stomach as you'll be eating a total of 27 plates!

Amazing, incredible, legendary! Can’t find more words to describe this magical place. The food was at the highest level and the service was top notch. I highly recommend to take a detour and visit this temple. Muchisimas gracias a toda la tripulacion y a su capitan, Angel Leon!

Amazing fine dining restaurant! The focus is on local and sustainable seafood, every dish (except for a couple of desserts) features seafood! The service was top tier and it's ready to see why this place has 3 Michelin stars.

The fourth time we visited Aponiente and once again we were conquered by Angel Leon’s innovative oceanic journey. Wow! From surprise to surprise the boundaries of creativity were pushed further and further. The friendliness and professionalism of the crew made the dinner an exceptional experience. We dove into the flavors of the most incredible food from the sea, including the sweet part of the menu that was absolutely stunning. Thank you, Aponiente team! Another unforgettable dinner at your fabulous location.

A Culinary Journey. Each bite is a sea revelation. The staff was truly exceptional. An Unforgettable Experience. Thank you Chef Ángel León for creating Aponiente. Thank you!

This place is the best restaurant i’ve been in my life, the experience from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Its not a restaurant its an experience

One of the very best and most creative restaurants we've tried over the years, definitely the top one in terms of fish and seafood cuisine. Chef Angel Leon is an absolute genius. Superb setting and excellent service. All the dishes were works of art. Highlights: the shrimp fritter, squid cheese (yes!), cuttlefish and adobo, cold salad and caviar, razor clam marinera, baby squid, sea snails stew... A real feast of the senses. Bravo!
