"The culinary masterpiece of Restaurant Tohqa in El Puerto de Santa María enchants the senses and leaves an unforgettable impression, like a star that shines in Michelin gastronomy."

Tohqa: A Culinary Experience in El Puerto de Santa María

Tohqa is located in the picturesque El Puerto de Santa María and is a culinary highlight that originated in a monastery. What was once a monastery, later a bar, is now home to a gastronomic restaurant where the former El Arriete has gained a new identity. The restaurant's style is a unique blend of rustic and modern, with a charming courtyard that adds a pleasant atmosphere to the space.

The Pérez Brothers: A Passion for Grilled Dishes

Tohqa is the work of brothers Eduardo and Juan José Pérez, who together form the creative force behind the restaurant. Eduardo, also known as the "fire cook," is in charge of grilling the local products. Juan José is the sommelier and ensures a perfect wine experience at the restaurant. Together, they share a passion for the grilled dishes of Andalusia, using only the best local ingredients, such as eel, tuna, shrimp, and squid. Some of these ingredients even come from their father’s family farm in El Saucejo, a village in the province of Seville.

Tohqa’s Philosophy: Seed, Fire, Salt, and Path

Words like seed, fire, salt, and path are central to Tohqa’s menus. These terms represent the essence of the restaurant and pay homage to the region and the people who preserve the local culture and traditions. Each meal tells the story of Andalusia’s nature and the pride of the region, from the carefully selected ingredients to the cooking methods.

Culinary Perfection with Andalusian Flair

Tohqa is more than just a restaurant; it is a culinary experience that celebrates the rich flavors of Andalusia. The dishes are a perfect balance of local products and craftsmanship, resulting in a gastronomic journey through the region. The Pérez brothers have created a place where the passion for cooking goes hand in hand with a deep connection to their Andalusian roots. At Tohqa, every meal is a tribute to the culinary traditions of the area.
