La Pilastra: a new restaurant at the gateway to the old town
La Pilastra is a new restaurant at Calle Armiñán, 1, at the gateway to Ronda’s old town and beside the Mirador de Aldehuela. It serves Ronda and Mediterranean cooking with produce from the Serranía, wines from Ronda wineries, an indoor dining room and a terrace overlooking the Tajo gorge.
Why La Pilastra
A pilastra, or pilaster, is the pillar set into a wall: it gives a façade its order and quietly holds up everything around it. It felt right for a town built of stone, bridges and walls above the gorge, and it is also the shape of the frame in our logo.
We want to be a place people come back to for the food and the welcome, not only because it sits in one of Ronda’s most photographed corners.
What we cook
The kitchen starts from Ronda recipes and looks towards the Mediterranean, with produce from the Serranía and the occasional personal touch. The menu brings together local stews such as Ronda-style oxtail, produce for sharing such as the Serranía cheese board or acorn-fed Iberian ham, fish such as the bluefin tuna tataki, and a more casual side of pizza and fresh pasta.
There is no set lunch menu: we serve à la carte, with prices and allergens published and suggestions that change.
The space
The dining room is bright, with wooden tables and plenty of greenery. Outside, the terrace looks over the gorge; what you can see from each table and how they are allocated is explained on the views page.
To drink, we focus on Ronda wines from small wineries in the Serranía.
