Friendly staff, delicious food, what more could you ask for?…read more Wandering around hungry in the historical center, I searched for an affordable and tasty place for lunch on a Monday afternoon around 1:45pm. At €13.50 their menu del dia (menu of the day) sign outside the restaurant caught my attention. I made a mental note but eschewed this spot at first and considered a few other places with slightly "higher" reviews. But in around 15 minutes I was back--considering I was eating by myself, the service options and serving sizes of other restaurants were great for sharing but seemed too much for just one person. Walking into the restaurant, the immediate inside is an open tavern area with stools and a bar on the right side of the room. There were maybe half a dozen people grabbing a drink or small bites to eat here. On the left of the room are stairs to the formal "restaurant" section. To the right (directly to the left of the bar), there is a small flight of stairs to what is the "tavern" seating area--about 10 small tables with partial bench seating against the walls. The walls are covered with sketches of the Segovia skyline--the same that is printed on their paper placemats. There are additional seating areas located on the second floor but the full service lunch patrons were all seated here while I was there. The bartender downstairs did triple duty by manning the bar, taking orders, serving and busing. It was pretty busy but he handled it like a pro. He was courteous and attentive and brought out each course when customers were finished with the previous. My Spanish is non-existent but was able to communicate okay since they had the menu in English also. Note to consider--the regular menu is full price, but the menu of the day offers a sampling of items (including bread, and water or wine) for a mere €13.50. You can order from the regular menu also, but all the lunch patrons I saw ordered the menu del dia. Also I believe this menu is served only in this smaller side room where we were seated--there was a note on the menu that said the regular "restaurant" section of the establishment only served full price meals, The food--very generous portions, the curry aubergine and minced meat appetizer I got was larger than my fist. It could've been a meal for me by itself. The sauce tasted like squash puréed with curry, slightly sweet and savory and not too salty or heavy. The cuts of eggplant were thick and tender. For the main course I ordered the pork medallions with side of potatoes, the meat was cooked to a perfect temperature, that tad bit of pink interior showed it wasn't overdone. There were 4 decent-sized hunks of meat; I could only finish 2. The chef's selection dessert was a "shot" or really a small glass of cheesecake--there was a crumbly/crunchy cookie-like base over which was layered a soft creamy almost pudding-like consistency that tasted like a ricotta-cheesecake. The mixed berry compote atop that was delicious, it was a sweet yet slightly tart red berry mixture but it wasn't only strawberries or raspberries, there were little round red berries (which I'm not exactly sure what) which were delicious. I nearly passed out from food coma after this meal--I think the Spanish tourists around me got a kick out of seeing the American struggling to stay awake, but I had zero regrets! Well actually only one--that I couldn't finish the main course bc I was too full!

My sisters and I were in Segovia as a day trip, and wished to make the trip thoroughly worthwhile,…read moreso we did some research and finally decided to go here for lunch in between visiting the cathedral and the castle. The restaurant, which can be entered either through its own door or through the hotel, is an interesting bit of architecture on its own and well worth observing for a few moments before concentrating on the meal. The waiter delivered impeccable service, and while he did not speak English, we made do quite well with my broken Spanish and have no regrets. The menu was pondered over the usual bread and water [with the expected minor fee, it being Europe].We ultimately decided against the price fixe and simply chose individual dishes with our usual gusto, trading back and forth the following, with a shared bottle of crisp white wine- Sopa Castellana- A hearty soup of beans and bread in a delicious stock of some sort, thoroughly delightful Falafel Israeli-Europa- Falafel balls, no more no less, quite tasty Gazpacho de Cerezas- Cherry gazpacho is precisely what the name suggests and turned out to be a refreshing cold soup still with the characteristic but gentle bite of garlic. It was quite tasty and actually turned out to be excellent spooned over the falafel, though I am quite certain the mix was never intended. Surtido de Filikas Sefardies- Tiny phyllo dough wrapped triangles with various fillings. I would cheerfully have eaten the lot of them by myself, but my sisters would have done me harm. Pato Confitado-Detapas- Duck confit served over grain with a delightful gravy Cochinillo Asado- Perhaps a strange choice for a theoretically Sephardic restaurant, but Segovia has its traditions. Not for the squeamish as there are wee ears and feet involved, the suckling pig was an absolute delicacy with crispy skin and ridiculously juicy meat. Lomo de Bacalao Superior- For whatever reason, I have always been wary of cod, perhaps because salted, it is an imposing, club-like ingredient, and hardly seems up to my usually demanding standards for freshness in fish. This cod is probably the loveliest I've ever had, with sugary caramelized leeks and tomato, a splendid crust and moist, flaky flesh underneath. I'd consider returning to Spain for this alone. The desserts we chose were the Ponche de Segovia [delicious and draped, I think, in marzipan], Tarta Charlota [less exciting, but lots of whipped cream], and the Sansaticos [more phyllo triangles with delicious filling], joined with pleasant little cups of coffee. Overall, the meal was probably the absolute best of two solid weeks in Spain.

The Tour Guide was raving about the House/Area Specialty -Suckling Pig (Cochinillo Asado). Two levels for seating and 1st level was sold out so we were seated on the lower level. What stood out was all of the options on the menu. So many interesting choices. The Soup (Sopa a La Castellana) was highly recommended and looked good from others who ordered it but given the heavy of the main course we decided against it. We ordered the Suckling Pig and Grilled Turbot. The Suckling Pig wasn't as big of an entree once you get the meat off the bones. It was tasty and would describe it as an elevated Pulled Pork. That said, for me, it was one to try and not sure I would order again. The Turbot was excellent and was enjoyed even if it wasn't a filet. Ponche Segoviano for dessert was also recommended-looked good but no room. Service was okay. Again, they were quite busy so some delays. Overall, looks like the spot in town for Suckling pig/Roast Lamb and a few interesting creations.

The breakfast itself was disappointing. The Spanish tortilla was completely flavorless, just eggs and potatoes with no seasoning at all. The egg in the sandwich was raw, and when we asked if they could cook the egg a little more, they did, but were annoyed. Service was fairly quick, but the only thing we actually enjoyed was the freshly squeezed orange juice. I would not recommend this restaurant, at least not for breakfast. There are so many inexpensive and much better options nearby, this was a waste of money.

We had an amazing three course meal, were given and entire bottle of local white wine, and bottled water for €68, a bargain for the quality of the food and the location on the Plaza Mayor with a view of the entire square. I had the beans-judieos to start. They were hearty and perfect for a cold day. They came with a pigs ear, which I didn't try and some sausage that was flavorful and went well with the beans. My husband had a nice mixed salad that had tuna, the usual veggies, and olives-like a Nicoise-tasty. For my main course I had the suckling piglet. I had wanted to try this local delicacy without having to order an entire portion and this was the perfect compromise. Extremely tender, with a crunchy skin and potatoes on the side. I enjoyed it, and I'm so glad to have tried THE DISH of Segovia. My husband had the hake and was very pleased with it. For dessert I had the best rice pudding in the world. It was creamy, with a delicate orange flavor from orange peel, and a wonderful combination of cinnamon forward spices. It came with a scoop of ice cream which was good. I think they could lose the ice cream and serve more pudding, but I guess the ice cream would be nice on a hot day. My husband had the regional, marzipan heavy dessert and loved it. The wine was refreshing and the bottled water came in a beautiful blue bottle. On the whole 10/10. Great food at a reasonable price (given the quality). Primo location and good service.
