PERSIAN CUISINE

More than three decades ago, a clay tablet was found in a excavation in Iran. With more than 4000 years old it had the following recipe engraved on it:

"All food should have three indispensable qualities: good taste, good smell and good color”


The gastronomy in Iran is one of the largest and richest cultural heritages of humanity. Iranian cuisine is influenced by the different peoples and traditions that have housed the Persian country throughout history. The great variety of flavours and aromas makes their food surprise even the most exquisite palate.

The spirit of Iranian cuisine is found in all facets that make up the country. From the endearing hospitality of its people to the history of the oldest empires in humanity. Also its geography, with unusual deserts that cover the ruins of Persepolis, the green mountains of the north or the attractive southern islands in the Persian Gulf. Persian cuisine is the result of the combination of all its historical, cultural and geographical heritage.

The influence of its ancestral culinary tradition extends from China and India through the Middle East to reach the peoples of the Mediterranean coast, bathing them with the most delicate fragrances of their exquisite flavours.

Unlike many people think, it is easy to evoke some flavours of Persian cuisine with Mediterranean cuisine. The use of spices gives a light and soft character to our dishes. Saffron, one of the jewels of Persian cuisine, differentiates textures in more traditional recipes and grants a charismatic and unique presentation that distinguishes our food around the world.

Iranian food is balanced and without excesses: no ingredient is missing, nor is it overloaded with any flavour. It is a suggestive and attractive cuisine, with soft flavours and aromas but so characteristic that you will be surprised from the first bite.

In the Rincon Persa, we always seek to meet that millennial goal through the use of premium raw material, a clean service and, above all, the passion to teach the world a part of our culture.
