The story
In September 2022, Pepe Morales opened Demo in the central Plaza de la Cruz, Murcia. The space is elegant and welcoming, a fitting setting for a kitchen built on honest cooking that respects both tradition and evolution.
Pepe Morales is both chef and sommelier, a lover of wine who has curated an important wine list at Demo. It features numerous references from small producers, encouraging guests to let themselves be advised for a perfect harmony at the table. The service is excellent, matching the quality of the food.
The carta at Demo is a journey through 100% product-focused offerings. It begins with individual bites and dishes to share, then moves to fish and meats, and finishes with desserts. Standout starters include Cantabrian anchovies, Gillardeau oysters, and a Bloody Mary oyster. The selection of Ibérico bellota loin, Angus cecina, and a cheese board showcase the quality of the ingredients.
For those who want to share, options include a brioche with sardine and artichoke cream, a scallop with Granny Smith apple, cucumber, and lime, and a taco of cochinita pibil. Main courses feature a flambéed corvina with citrus escabeche, hake kokotxas in pil pil sauce, and a 600g Txuleta de Vaca. Desserts are equally tempting, with a baked cheesecake, a caramelized torrija with turrón ice cream, and a chocolate sponge cake with vanilla ice cream.
