    Cute spot while exploring Toledo. Had the menu of the day and it was great. There is a bar upstairs and tables in the basement.

    The food and service are both first class!…read more We both had the day's menu for E23 and it was well worth it. A pepper salad, gazpacho soup, partridge, and pork stew. Served with bread and a drink. It gets very crowded, so be patient and wait for a table.

    tl;dr the regional tapas are paired with a side of snobbishness at this historic Toledo bar…read more Toledo is known for a handful of regional foods (hello, marzipan!), but one of the most comforting on a drizzly day is carcamusas. This traditional stew pairs pork with a tomato-and-pea broth, simmered down into a sort of ragu. Carcamusas is offered widely across Toledo, but its origin is attributed to Bar Restaurante Ludeña, whose owner, back in the 1950s, named it after his clientele of "carcas" (elderly men) and "musas" (younger women). The restaurant is barely noticeable on the ground floor of an aging multilevel residence. The "door" is simply a patterned curtain, and a glassless window beside it peers directly into the bar. Inside, the room feels storied but timeless. The wood slatted walls are decorated with Spanish artwork and historical designations bestowed upon Ludeña. The black-and-white stone floors, stainless steel bar, and retro jukebox each make the others feel anachronistic. I could count the number of tables in the bar on one hand, but additional, sit-down seating is available in an indoor back dining room and outside. The clientele includes a fair mix of locals and tourists. Spanish-language pop fills the air. My mother and I visited Ludeña during a day trip to Toledo. We were granted only 1 hour for lunch, but Ludena was a comfortable walk from Plaza de Zocodover. Be sure to explicitly place your name down if you're hoping for a table -- we simply stood near the dining area waiting, but another group "jumped" us because we hadn't joined the official queue. No matter; we slid into the first bartop table within 10 minutes (a stroke of good fortune that appears to be a relatively rare occurrence based on prior reviews). We ordered from the a la carte menu (the menu del dia is only available for dine-in). The "half-portion" of signature Carcamusas was loaded with slightly fatty, melt-in-your-mouth pork in a shallow pool of curry-thick broth. The tomato-y stew felt like a warm embrace and paired well with a spongy slice of bread. Meanwhile, the moderately large Ensalada Mixta (served without tuna, per my mother's request) paired crisp greens with a decent balsamic vinaigrette, but otherwise was mostly standard. Lastly, the house vermouth was served in a whiskey glass with two oversized ice cubes; the spices were somewhat muted, but the glass was still a hit. The general wait staff was dismissive, but the bartender made us feel welcome -- I'm convinced that he sneaked a double portion of carcamusas onto our appetizer-sized plate. Our bill felt pricey at 20 euros, yet it proved to be the light lunch we needed to energize us for a Toledo walking tour. While Ludena is by no means a "must-try" tapas bar, it will, at a minimum, be a serviceable bet for a bite of regional cuisine in the historic heart of Toledo.

    ¡Que guay este restaurante! Staff were very friendly and the prices quite reasonable for a tourist…read morehotspot. I ordered from the 18€ menú típico toledano, which includes an appetizer, entrée, beverage (options include beer and wine), and dessert. The callos con garbanzos were very savory. Sheep stomach with garbanzos, soft and delicious. It was a little salty, but still good. Carcamusas toledanas: stewed pork with tomato, peas. Simple, but hearty and satisfying. For dessert I had cheesecake which had a light dusting of cinnamon and drizzled raspberry sauce. The vino tinto included was ok. Overall a good deal for a tourist area with inflated prices. Would definitely return to try other items!

The restaurant is a bit hidden, up two floors on a narrow street. The wait staff was very nice and they had a menu kind of in English. We selected meals off of the fixed price menu, one from the "typical Toledo" list and mine from a slightly more expensive one (both had a starter, entree, dessert and one drink). My wife had the gazpacho to start and then swordfish with potatoes. Mine was a sunny side up fried egg in a tomato-y like sauce and baked cod and potatoes in the same sauce. I really liked the sauce - super flavorful. The cod was cooked to perfection and the sauce went perfectly with it.. My wife was only so-so on the gazpacho (creamy but not too strong of a flavor) and liked her swordfish. All in all, a nice find and I would recommend.
