Meaning “light” in Arabic, Noor is so much more than a fine-dining restaurant. Behind every detail there is a multi-faceted team that contributes its knowledge to bring to the fore the essence of the cultured and magical city of Córdoba, which has been a beacon of light since the reign of Caliph Abd al-Rahman III. In the restaurant's bright interior, with its open kitchen and incredible interior design, chef Paco Morales (ably supported by second-in-command Paola Gualandi) revives the spirit of Andalucian cuisine using modern ideas and techniques. Every season, the restaurant explores a different historical period, currently the Modern Age, which it calls “fin de ciclo” (literally “end of cycle”), taking us back to the 18C through three menus: Tanwer, Thawra, and Taqadum. Standout dishes here include the signature white sesame karim with ice-cream, green apple and desert caviar; durum wheat pasta with smoked butter, vegetable broth with brandy, and squid; and, for dessert, the carob tart in the shape of an eight-pointed star.
