Sergio Bastard: Redefining Cantabrian Cuisine
Few chefs capture the essence of Cantabria quite like Sergio Bastard. Named Best Chef of Cantabria, he brings a deep connection to the region’s landscape, sourcing ingredients from the Atlantic coast and the lush inland valleys. His work with seaweed, coastal herbs, and forgotten local products has made him a pioneer in sustainable fine dining, earning him a Michelin Green Star. His cooking at La Casona del Judío is a constant evolution—where tradition, innovation, and environmental responsibility shape every dish.
