The house · La maison
A bold little bistró, obsessed with mushrooms
In an old Vegueta house of red walls and cherry-wood panels, La Champiñonería has spent years doing what no one else dares: putting the mushroom at the centre of everything. Fifteen-plus preparations, home cooking and generous plates at an honest price.
No fuss here. Just mushrooms with prawns, the veg croquettes people call 'the best', stuffed mushrooms, generous scrambles and an Uruguayan 'Polvito' that's become a legend. Fresh produce and house hands, unhurried.
A note from the house
“We fell for the mushroom and never got over it. If you sit down here, we want you to discover everything a mushroom can become.”
