La Regadera in Córdoba with Chef Adrián Caballero





Overlooking the banks of the Guadalquivir, La Regadera has been ranked one of the best restaurants in Córdoba since opening in 2011, where acclaimed chef Adrián Caballero serves delicious Andalusian cuisine and a daily changing menu to take advantage of the freshest and highest quality market produce that the seasons offer. A paradise for those who love nature and exceptional cuisine, the interior of La Regadera is like a garden, full of aromatic plants complete with a dramatic 'green' wall featuring a living vertical garden. Another natural element of the restaurant is its nursery, which the chefs constantly go to carefully cut flowers and edible leaves to finish each dish that comes out of the kitchen. The interior is a love story to Andalusian and Cordoba culture, decorated with local natural fibres and ceramics which dot the stark white walls, and a collection of whimsical found objects such as an old coffee machine converted into the pot of a basil plant, and wooden boxes that used to transport the fruit and vegetables, all illuminated with lots of natural light so unique Andalusia. The name 'regadera' is actually Spanish for 'watering can', an ideal moniker for this delightful restaurant where one is treated to a shower of fabulous dishes.
