Aponiente, marine research-driven cuisine in El Puerto de Santa María

Aponiente is chef Ángel León’s restaurant, internationally known for a body of work devoted to ocean conservation and management through research. The restaurant presents itself as a place for inspiration and experimentation, with a dining experience shaped by the marine world.

Ángel León, the chef

The project centers on León’s exploration of marine resources and their possible uses in the kitchen. His commitment to the ocean has produced a program in which fine dining and scientific research inform one another.
