This has to be our favorite dinning experience in all of the Valle de Guadeloupe!! So much so we came here twice this month alone (from San Diego). The first time, we discovered it by accident and had one of the most memorable dinning experiences -EVER. The talented chef was SO CREATIVE with vegetables - picked from only a few feet away in their enviable garden with a freshness that will ruin all other vegetables from now on. His cooking of the uniquely chosen local proteins leaves you in awe, but it is the vegetables that you will remember. We were so impressed, we had to return only a few weeks later. We were happily greeted with an entirely new (and equally delicious) menu! The staff could not be nicer or more accommodating - from the groundsman who greeted us in the evening with a flashlight from the parking lot, to the attentive staff, owner, and chef, who came from the kitchen to welcome us back on our second visit. We can't wait to return!

About the restaurant
After 15 Years in san Diego, Award winner Chef Moumen Nouri decide to move his Moroccan Restaurant to the heart of the Valle De Guadalupe; a community rich in agricultural products, but also welcoming to new concepts and cuisines. Nestled inside the gorgeous Anatolia Winery, Kous Kous Cocina de Marruecos is known for its family style service of delicious slow braised Tagines, grilled lamb Chops and Ribeye, and large Mediterranean Salads. All this in a cozy and relaxed environment, surrounded with Moroccan Lanterns and colorful soft pillows and drapery.
Our commitment to Valle De Guadalupe is to work only and exclusively with local farmers, from wines and other distilled liquors, to fruits, vegetables, seafoods and meats, to training and employing families of local farmers.
We look forward to sharing our unique experience with you.

About the restaurant
Our gastronomic proposal endures the use of Mexican products, and local and seasonal ingredients from Valle de Guadalupe and the coast of Ensenada. The seasons of these products are what set the tone for the creation of new dishes.
The inspiration comes from Mexican culture and cuisine, adding creativity and openness to techniques and preparations from other cultures, resulting in a menu designed to be enjoyed by all.

Conchas de Piedra are amazing in every aspect of what they do there. Your waiters are patient and informative on each dish. The views the restaurant is stunning. The restaurant is very open as well so the noise level isn’t bad at all. The wine choices are great and pair very well with most dishes. The only small dislike I had is with on dish on the tasting menu which in no way was bad simply was a bit lack luster and underwhelming. Other than that tho the rest of the food is near perfect in terms of taste,freshness, and quality. (If you don’t enjoy oysters or clams or most seafood in general this place is not for you) I 100% recommend you people try this place.

We were a group of 2 couples going for the first time. Te selection of food on the menu was impressive. We ordered all our meals (apps and dinner) and drinks all at once. Someone in our group ordered a personal size pizza and it came almost half way after the rest of us got our meals. The live music was very loud and bar-like. This place is somewhat upscale and should have better taste of music.

About the restaurant
The Michelin Guide recommends Primitivo for its one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience that celebrates the bounty of local ingredients. Chef Carolina Jiménez has teamed up with local producers to create a menu that celebrates rustic cuisine with a touch of ingenuity and sophistication.

Kick off your evening with some fresh and succulent oysters – the perfect starter for what's in store. Next, you can choose your protein: fish or meat (duck in the autumn/winter season), both of the highest quality.

From there, you'll get to enjoy a series of dishes where each part of the main ingredient is used to the fullest. Be sure to leave room for dessert, too! Think almond tart with apples and sherry, or a soft chocolate cake with candied orange peel and smoked lavender ice cream. And don't forget to check out the seasonal cocktails and wine list!
