La Bodega del Bandolero

Diners at Hotel Bandolero enjoy the ambiance of La Bodega del Bandolero, the rustic dining room, serving lunch and dinner daily, or alternatively, can enjoy their meals in El Bar de El Tempranillo or on the Terrace. Our cellar boasts an extensive range of quality wines, including some outstanding vintages from the Ronda area.

All meals are prepared by Chef Iván Sastre Pascual who trained in both pastry and savoury cuisine at the Cordon Bleu, London and has worked at some of London’s finest restaurants including Terence Conran’s Almeida restaurant.
