They also gave us broth from the Cochinillo they serve to warm us up, a nice gesture. We ordered: - Croquetas (underwhelming, I've had better) - salpicón (very good) - chorizo and potato (my favorite) - tortilla Coffee was very good here as well! I'm sure the non tapas menu is even better.

Flowers painted in the walls make you feel like you are in an English Cottage garden. Crisp white vintage linens make it feel extra special. Easy to call and make reservations for dinner. Super friendly service from that phone call to saying goodbye after our meal. When we arrived we were treated so nicely. Menus are in Español but easy to work through with my Spanglish. A young man took our drink order - an excellent beer selection - then a young woman came to answer some questions and to take our order. The food was served in the perfect sequence and in a timely manner. All dishes were very tasty and large portions. Starters were a pumpkin & carrot soup along with an avocado, grapefruit, corn, hard boiled egg, green salad. My husband and I shared both with him eating the egg so the salad was now vegan. Mains were the veggie lasagna for him and tofu & spinach spaghetti for me. Both served hot and delicious. I liked the tofu grilled on my pasta. The two women checked on us, visited and treated us as if we were long time customers and so happy to have us there. Definitely recommend this place. Especially if you are vegan or vegetarian.

Eat there twice in my two day stay in Segovia. Very highly recommend it! We are vegetarians and…read morethis is only one of two options we found in Segovia.

I'm still thinking of it months later planning on my return just to eat this again. Amazing... It was a restaurant frequented by locals only, it a touristy spot so we knew it was going to be good and it did not disappoint at all.

Very disappointing experience. The person who took our order was rude and spoke to us in a…read morecondescending manner. I have stomach issues and cannot eat a full meal, so I asked if I could share a meal with my son. The waitress told us that was not allowed because "this is a restaurant and everyone has to have their own plate." We ended up ordering three meals, but unfortunately the food was just as disappointing as the service. Nearly everything was excessively salty. We ate what we could because we were hungry, but most of the food was left on the table. Given the restaurant's location so close to the castle, we expected a much better experience. Instead, we left feeling disappointed by both the service and the quality of the food. I would not return.

100% you need to eat here. If you have only one pricey meal in Spain, make this it.

Then there is the atmosphere: sitting outside, dining al fresco, with the ancient Roman aqueduct right next to you and street performers playing music...it was heavenly!

As I found the restaurant that was over 200 years old I said "hmmm prices are a little too much for me as it was closer to the aqua ducts and those restaurants prices were higher than the other places in the area. I wandered upon a small boutique and asked the store clerk there for a more affordable place that also served suckling roasted pig and right away she said her fave spot was El Bernardino. When I arrived there I was immediately seated as it was only me.The staff, especially my waiter so attentive and asked me if I wanted the blinds of my window closed as he thought the sun was too much for me and I replied "no, it's simply that the food is so good i closed my eyes to shut off the my other senses to fully enjoy deliciousness of my roasted suckling pig . Also, don't you dare leave with ordering Segovia ponche that is indescribably melt in your mouth heaven, I thought omg I hope the other patrons didn't hear my ""mmmmm's" , this dessert was so creamy and delicious, maybe think of tres leches with custard and marzipan... simply out of this world . My table, in my opinion one of the best tables there, was a corner nook with a stained glass window overlooking the mountain top called "La Mujer Muerta" (Dead Woman). A tale of a woman who died in her sleep on top of that mountain. A customer at the restaurant asked if I minded if she could see the view alongside my table, I replied "of course"! As I was dining alone my wonderful waiter always checked on me and even charged my phone. I asked to have a picture with him as he completed my memorable and adventurous experience of an unforgettable day in Segovia. I can't wait to return in 2025!

Located next to a great lookout point over the city not too far from the Aquaduct, best to hit it at the beginning or end of your journey through the town.

The restaurant is huge inside, plenty of rooms with dining spaces. There's beautiful art, one with broken plates that was really cool. There is a server right in front constantly slicing thin pieces of Iberico Jamon. The service is fun, friendly and accommodating. Interesting to note that there's a small side table next to each dining table for the cuchinillo. Tables have fine china, wine glasses and white table cloth linen---very classy. Yet the atmosphere is casual and friendly. The Cuchinillo is served with jus. It's clean tasting, meat tender and juices. The skin is crispy. It's worth the price! We had a grilled squid which was also good. We shared a strawberry panna cotta which was delicious. Great place!

This area with white linen table cloths seems more private with limited seating. It felt very exclusive. We ordered their traditionally prepared cuchinillo, grilled vege platter, tiramisu with toffee, coffee ice cream with amaretto jelly and the traditional layered cake with vanilla cream and ice cream, capuccino and a glass of red wine. The service was impeccably attentive. When it was time to cut the roast pig, the owner, Jose Maria appeared. We were gathered around to watch him deftly cut the pig with a plate into several servings. The cuchinillo was perfectly seasoned. The skin was thin and crispy and the flesh was moist and melt in your mouth tender. Everything we ordered was delicious! Later on, Jose Maria came to our table for a short chat and to indulge us with a few picture with him. This was a really special experience.
