Background
About El Fogón Verde
The Story
El Fogón Verde runs on a cooperative model, sharing decisions and responsibilities across the team, and describes its cooking as food that fills stomachs and consciences in equal measure. It sits in the heart of the Barrio de las Letras.
The Cuisine
The kitchen is vegetarian and agroecological: exclusively seasonal, local, organic produce grown without pesticides, with a carta that changes as the growing cycles turn. To drink, there are natural wines, craft beers from nearby breweries, and organic juices.
From the Growers
Traceability is the point: the restaurant names the producers behind its plates. Among them are Edemur, an association of organic farmers in Murcia, for fresh fruit and vegetables; El Árbol del Pan, whose organic wholemeal sourdough is baked in Fresnedilla de la Oliva; Sol y Fruta for subtropical fruit from the Granada and Málaga coast; Suerte Ampanera, goat's dairy from Colmenar Viejo; and Pincelada, the house wine from Morata de Tajuña. Most produce is local, with a few items from further afield, like Ebro Delta rice, Canary bananas or Chiapas coffee, always organic and fair-trade when it travels.
Menus and Hours
Lunch is served every day from 13:00 to 16:00: a menú del día Monday to Friday, a special menu on Saturday lunchtime, and the seasonal carta on Sundays and on Friday and Saturday nights, from 20:30 to 23:00. The carta changes week to week with what the growers send; it's chalked up on boards in the restaurant and posted on social media. There's takeaway, plus catering for events.
