The Almería-based establishment Salmantice, which definitively closed its doors last September, is on the verge of reopening. The news comes with a change in management, but with a promise to maintain the essence that characterized it and earned it recognition in the prestigious Michelin Guide.

Founded in 2007 in an area that is now a hospitality hotspot, Salmantice distinguished itself with its Castilian cuisine. After years of operation, the restaurant announced its closure, but is now preparing its comeback, as has been hinted on its revamped social media channels.

Although the exact opening date has not yet been revealed, the new management assures that "New management. Same essence. New experience." The restaurant, located on Costa Balear street, will maintain its "Castilian tradition," a fundamental pillar that earned it the Michelin Guide's recommendation.

The new phase of Salmantice will emphasize "rootedness," defined not as nostalgia, but as "respect for origin, for time, and for a cuisine that needs no artifice to move. At Restaurante Salmantice, we recover the essence of Castilian tradition from an honest and careful perspective, where every flavor speaks of product, memory, and craft."

José Hernández, a chef from Ávila and an adopted Almerian, was the original driving force behind Salmantice in 2007. With a concept of few tables, Castilian meats, fish, and an intimate atmosphere, he achieved Michelin Guide recognition within just four years. After its announced closure in September 2025, the restaurant is coming back to life.
