Named after a famous knight from Jerez, Gaitán is a wonderful place to have traditional Spanish food. To say Gaitán in Jerez is synonymous with saying "˜good food". The flavours are Andalucían, Vascan and Jerezano. Recently, new dishes have been incorporated and older ones re-invented, creating a new cuisine with amazing contrasting results
This 60-year-old traditional Spanish restaurant is located in the centre of Jerez close to the Andalusian Equestrian Centre and just around the corner from the Tryp hotel. Hidden in a little narrow side road you will first enter the tapas bar, which is open all day from 8am - midnight, so you always have a place to go and eat some great tapas.
The restaurant lies behind the bar in a separate room and has that typical Spanish lighting! Set away from the sunlight, this area is pleasantly refreshing and a good refuge from the scorching heat in summer. We started off with a Sherry from their Bodega of course, accompanied by a homemade pâté. The first course was Cep Mushrooms in Sherry sauce and "Croquetas"� which were unusually small, like quails eggs, bedded in a nest of thinly sliced potato crisps. Miguel, the maître and his staff are very attentive and friendly. The meals are mainly made with Sherry and raisins, typical for the region. We chose two signature dishes, the first was Bass in a sweet Marinara sauce with raisins and mussels. The second was Lamb with honey and raisins served with French fries. The desserts are all home made although on the menu they look like the typical deep frozen desserts. But I certainly had one of the best Natillas ever as well as an amazing muscatel-raisin ice cream topped with sweet Sherry, freshly tapped from their Bodega. Pepe, the owner, granted us a short visit to the Bodega where we were able to taste the sherry that finished off our meal directly from the barrel. The restaurant offers a special menu where a different Sherry accompanies each course.
