The much anticipated
restaurant, the only one in the world where all 45 members of staff are disabled
in some way, will open on 26th October. It is situated in Jerez at the Finca El
Altillo, former home of the founder of González Byass, and is surrounded by
beautiful parkland, in some of which they will grow organic fruit and
vegetables. The plan is to become a culinary reference point offering top level
haute cuisine. It will also include schools of catering and gardening for the
disabled. Antonio Flores, oenologist of González Byass, has been training staff
in wine and there will, of course be a good list of Sherries. As to the
cuisine, the idea is to follow the principles of the late great chef Santi
Santamaría in using the best local produce and bringing out the best of its
natural flavour without covering it up with extras and unnecessary technology.
