With a Michelin star, Canfranc Express is a gastronomic restaurant at Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, located in an old restored train carriage belonging to Canfranc International Station. Under the direction of Chef Eduardo Salanova and Restaurant Manager Ana Acín, the restaurant's main aim is to recover the culinary heritage of Aragon and arouse emotions through the flavours, textures and typical products of the region, using avant-garde techniques while preserving the essence of the finest local cuisine. An exclusive gastronomic journey with Canfranc as its starting point.
The culinary concept of the Canfranc Express restaurant is the work of Chef Eduardo Salanova and Restaurant Manager Ana Acín, both of whom have won prestigious awards throughout their careers. Together they form one of the most important tandems in Spanish cuisine, whose proposal is based on the adaptation of traditional Aragonese recipes to haute cuisine.
Chef
Originally from Canfranc, he discovered professional cooking at the age of 16, but it was during his early years working in haute cuisine restaurants that he acquired his expertise in the kitchen. He was part of the kitchen team at Echaurren (Ezcaray) the year the restaurant received its second Michelin star. A year later, he joined the team at Ángel León's Aponiente – three Michelin stars – coinciding with the restaurant's second award.
In addition to leading the kitchen at Canfranc Express, he is currently in charge of the emblematic Venta del Sotón, in the Aragonese foothills of the Pyrenees, with his business partner Ana Acín. In 2018, they opened the restaurant Espacio N, which offers creative cuisine combined with traditional recipes, restoring Aragonese cuisine to its rightful place. Just a year and a half after opening, Espacio N received its first Michelin star.
