Restaurant El Cabo Norte, located on the Moj\u00e1car seafront, has been honoured with a \u201cPlato de Oro\u201d National Gastronomy Award by Radio Turismo. .<\/p>\n

\n

Mar\u00eda Moreno Gald\u00f3n, whose whole life revolves around the running the restaurant, excitedly received the news, although with a degree of surprise adding, she felt “so happy for my team as well as for the gastronomy in the area that is in need of recognition.”
\n\tRadio Turismo, with the official support of the Ministry of Tourism,
\nset up these awards as a way of recognizing the work of gastronomy professionals. Since it was initiated in 1985, great restaurants like Adri\u00e1, Arola, and Arzak, amongst others, have been recipients of a \u201cPlato de Oro\u201d.\t\tThey constantly seek out top professionals, chefs and restaurants who strive for excellence in gastronomy, without needing to be in the top end guides, but whose optimal work and customer service make them deserving winners.
\nMar\u00eda Moreno has been cooking for thirty years and, the last sixteen have been in Moj\u00e1car, with El Cabo Norte celebrating its third anniversary this summer. Gaining success by her efforts, hard work and sheer determination, she is self-taught although would love to take time out to take a specialized course, if only her hectic work schedule would allow it.
\nAt times she feels misses the support of the classroom, however Maria has honed her craft by “eating and trying”, as she says and whatever free she has time she is always visiting other restaurants on the lookout for \u201cwhat\u2019s cooking\u201d everywhere she goes.
\nThis research combined with endless samples and experiments in the kitchen, a natural talent and enthusiasm for her work, make her a more than worthy winner of the National Gastronomy Award. The menu at El Cabo Norte is made up of original dishes designed in their own kitchen and from the initial idea of a dish until it is served the customer, can take six to eight months of intense development.
\nUsing her team as first tasters, followed by a second round of trying out the creations on friends and trusted customers, every new recipe is a long process of experimentation, just like an alchemist, before it makes an appearance on the menu. For Mar\u00eda, her work is never ending, as every year she completely renews the menu, describing her cuisine as Mediterranean and always the very best ingredients. In her expert hands, she cooks up a range of delicious dishes that always impress her customers, whatever their palate, who come from far and wide to savour the food, of which the slow cooked white sea bass is a favourite.
\nThe award is also good news for the region and, for Moj\u00e1car, highlighting an additional attraction and “unforgettable memory” in a great way, with the wonderful food, friendly service and hospitality of Mar\u00eda Moreno and her team at El Cabo Norte.<\/p>\n
