Sustainability is at the heart of every plate, with 90% of ingredients sourced locally, including coastal herbs from the restaurant’s own garden.

Cantabria on a Plate

Chef Sergio Bastard’s cuisine is deeply rooted in the landscapes of Cantabria, from the Atlantic’s briny depths to the region’s fertile pastures. His menu highlights lesser-seen local ingredients, such as seaweed and coastal herbs, transforming them into dishes that are both innovative and deeply connected to the region’s traditions. Sustainability drives everything, from reducing food waste to reimagining overlooked by-products like the anchovy brine. With techniques that blend modern creativity and time-honoured methods, La Casona offers an ever-evolving taste of Cantabria’s rich culinary identity.

Memorable Gatherings

La Casona del Judío is designed for extraordinary events, from intimate celebrations to grand receptions. With a stunning glass marquee seating up to 250 guests, private dining rooms, and garden spaces, the venue adapts to every occasion. Whether for a wedding, corporate gathering, or a personalised tasting experience, the team’s meticulous attention to detail ensures a seamless, unforgettable event.

A Hidden Sanctuary in Santander

Set in the quiet Monte district, La Casona del Judío is a world away from the bustle of the city, yet just minutes from Santander’s centre and coastline. Housed in a grand Indian-style mansion from the 1800s, the restaurant is surrounded by gardens that add to its secluded, almost storybook charm. The nearby Maruca Beach and the rolling Cantabrian hills complete the setting, offering a perfect balance between nature and refined dining.

Sustainability at the Core

Sustainability isn’t an afterthought at La Casona—it’s a philosophy. The restaurant generates 40% of its own energy, eliminates chemical waste in its dishwashing, and actively researches underutilised local ingredients. By working closely with small-scale producers and minimising environmental impact, La Casona leads the way in responsible fine dining.

We don’t just serve food; we celebrate Cantabria—its landscapes, its traditions, and its future.
