José Polo, co-owner of Atrio (Cáceres) has barely slept a wink for two days. And his partner in life and business, Toño Pérez, must not be much better. At dawn on Wednesday, two hotel guests entered the restaurant's cellar, one of the best in Spain (among the best in the world) and took 45 bottles, valued at hundreds of thousands of euros.

He doesn't mind telling the press what happened because he wants to “turn the page”. If telling what happened also helps to find those responsible better than better, although he does not trust it. "It seems like a robbery that someone has commissioned because they have taken very specific things," he explains to Directo al Paladar. “They have taken the most expensive. Things that cannot be put up for sale, because they are numbered”.

The police have not left the hotel since they learned what happened. "They are taking it quite seriously," acknowledges Polo. "They are still looking to see if there are any prints."

The thieves left paying for the room

All lines of investigation are open, but it is clear that the robbery was committed by two people who stayed on Tuesday at the hotel where the restaurant and winery, imagine Polo that with false documentation. The rest is worthy of a movie.

“They called the security guard at night and told him they wanted to eat something,” Polo explains. “He told them that the kitchen was closed, but they insisted. They had taken the tasting menu, but the boy thought they should eat a lot and, not to say no, because you can't say no to customers in a place like this, he went to prepare a salad for them”.
