What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise the restaurant for its incredible steaks, fresh fish like sea bass, and the unique historic ambiance. The wine cellar tour and the passionate staff, including Javier and Rosemary, are frequently highlighted as memorable experiences. However, some guests find the service lacking and the prices high for the overall value, with one mention of a questionable bill.
"We were so happy we chose this place. It was perfect. Entering the building was impressive, so historic and beautiful. We received such a great welcome from the lovely owner Javier. It was a pleasure speaking with him throughout our stay there. We loved our bedroom and the breakfast was so beautifully presented at our table the next morning ( a great selection of fruits, beverage's, local cheeses, meats etc) We also ate dinner at their restaurant and it was fabulous. The lovely lady who served us was so informative and helpful when choosing from the menu and and wine list from their own winery. It was the best dinner and wine we had during our entire trip. Thank you to the lovely yousef (hope i spelt correctly) who very kindly offered a tour of the cave winery downstairs ( Also thanks for your patience with our attempts at speaking french with an Irish accent! ) .His enthusiasm and passion for his job was wonderful. This is a generational family business with amazing staff.It's clear that they all work so hard in maintaining this successful and special place. We look forward to a return visit in the future. Thanks Guys."

"We went to the restaurant and were served by the owner and another nice waitress. The food was so delicious as was the wine. The owner showed us the cellar after to see where the wine is stored and told us a little about his family and the history."

"Dining at Mayor de Migueloa was an unforgettable experience. The food was outstanding — the meat, in particular, was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The atmosphere is elegant yet authentic, making it a truly special setting. A highlight of the evening was Rosemary, who went above and beyond to make our experience unique. After dinner, she graciously showed us the historic bodega and las barricas, sharing the rich history and passion behind the place. This personal touch made the night even more memorable. An absolute must-visit in Rioja!"
