A place that is neither a restaurant nor a bar but a mix of both. A new concept where you can enjoy a beer, a wine or a soft drink and where tapas are a pleasure. An informal space with signature cooking, where sherry plays a special role. These are the hallmarks of Poncio, the personal project of Willy Moya, who loves playful cooking and, above all, creating unforgettable experiences for his guests. Poncio\u2019s creator, chef and owner describes himself as a \u201ccookologist\u201d, combining his cookery and pastry training at Le Cordon Bleu with his studies in politics and sociology. Poncio is thus a very personal project in which this Madrid-born chef with an Andalusian heart creates cuisine influenced by Andalusian culture, as shown by the prominent role he gives to sherry.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1520\" height=\"1784\" src=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-1.jpg\" alt=\"Willy Moya in the kitchen at Poncio restaurant\" class=\"wp-image-1964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-1.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-1-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-1-872x1024.jpg 872w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-1-768x901.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-1-1309x1536.jpg 1309w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-1-1140x1338.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1520px) 100vw, 1520px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuance and fusion are the hallmarks of Poncio\u2019s cooking, with Andalusian, French and Asian influences in dishes where Willy Moya blends the produce and techniques of the different culinary worlds he has been lucky enough to discover throughout his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located in one of Madrid\u2019s most classic neighbourhoods, on Plaza Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas, the restaurant\u2019s design, with an open kitchen, is meant to give guests a place to switch off and enjoy themselves to the full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All these qualities have earned Poncio a place in the Michelin Guide Spain & Portugal 2023 and 2024, as well as a Repsol Solete in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1520\" height=\"1784\" src=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tuna belly with ajoblanco and a glass of Don Zoilo Fino\" class=\"wp-image-1963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-2.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-2-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-2-872x1024.jpg 872w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-2-768x901.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-2-1309x1536.jpg 1309w, https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Poncio-2-1140x1338.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1520px) 100vw, 1520px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TUNA BELLY WITH AJOBLANCO AND DON ZOILO FINO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the pairing suggested by Willy Moya, for whom the salinity and umami of the tuna and its belly go perfectly with Don Zoilo Fino, just as the ajoblanco matches the toasted almond notes of this Fino. A 10-year-old sherry with pungent, intense and complex aromas; very dry, fresh and unctuous. The persistence, expressiveness and elegance of Don Zoilo Fino make it the ideal match for this exquisite dish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Willy Moya pairs tuna belly with ajoblanco and Don Zoilo Fino at Poncio, his informal Madrid restaurant with a great sherry list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2170,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1107],"tags":[1134,1147,1150,1248,1255,1099,1095,1111],"class_list":["post-3580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pairings","tag-don-zoilo","tag-fino","tag-pairing","tag-restaurants-en","tag-restaurants","tag-sherry-wines","tag-williams-humbert","tag-willy-moya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3580"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3580\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4234,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3580\/revisions\/4234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global.williams-humbert.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
