Our
Dining Room

The taste of calmness and experience At Taberna La Era, we firmly believe that the art of fine dining stems from tranquility and an absolute respect for our roots. For over 25 years, we have proudly opened the doors of our historic, two-century-old farmhouse to offer you a unique sanctuary—a peaceful corner where time stands still by the warmth of the stone and wood. More than two decades of dedication allow us to tend to every single detail so you feel right at home, all while rediscovering the most authentic flavors of Álava.

Traditional kitchens with a soul of their own Our cuisine pays a sincere tribute to local sourcing and the patience of traditional embers. Leading this gastronomic journey is Aitor Ruiz, our head chef, who passionately spearheads the day-to-day work at the stoves and meticulously signs every single dish served in our dining room. Guided by his hands and selecting the finest ingredients from local producers, we bring to your table bites that tell stories—from the Alavese vegetable gardens to our handpicked meats. We do not look for gimmicks, but rather to highlight the honesty of a flavor that is slow-cooked, always respecting the times dictated by tradition.

A haven to share and remember Beyond the gastronomy, La Era is a sanctuary for coming together. The majestic old wooden beams and the whisper of the fireplace create the ideal atmosphere for those magical after-dinner conversations that stretch out without looking at the clock. Whether it is to celebrate a special family moment or to take a necessary break on your route through the Salt Valley, here you will always find a corner where the closeness of its owners, Aitor and Susana, and the warmth of the ambiance are the main ingredients.
