Picón, Cuisine with Deep Roots
Discover the story of Picón, the element that gives our restaurant its name, defines our identity, and names the street where we are located.
Picón traditionally refers to small pieces of charcoal, sourced from rockrose or holm oak, among others, which were once used to heat the homes of Granada’s residents in their braziers.
From this tradition, our concept and identity emerge. We sought to bring that heritage into our cuisine, elevating timeless flavors through a contemporary culinary approach without losing their essence.
Our Chef, José Ángel Leyva He has trained in some of the world’s finest kitchens, including Daniel in New York, awarded three Michelin stars and four stars by The New York Times. He has also cooked alongside some of the greatest figures in Spanish gastronomy, such as Martín Berasategui and Santi Santamaría.
Now, he brings to *Picón* his knowledge, experience, and passion for cooking in a personal project launched alongside Carlos Gómez, our Head of Service and wine enthusiast, oversees a carefully curated selection of over 100 wine labels, focusing on a boutique cellar featuring emerging young winemakers and grounded in a strong foundation of Andalusian wines.
The third peak of this professional triangle that forms Picón belongs to José María Lozano, seasoned veteran of Granada’s hospitality scene, brings the warmth and charisma of a consummate waiter who will make you feel right at home at all times.
Together with the rest of our team, we strive to make our project a benchmark in Granada’s gastronomic scene—a place that feels like coming home. Something crafted with love and deep respect for hospitality and cuisine rooted in tradition.
