Since 1895 this restaurant has been serving delights of Spain to customers. We arrived a little…read morebefore 14:00 and the crowd, so we had choice seating. Staff were gracious and welcoming to two tourists. Cochinillo was sublime. Whole suckling pig is roasted so the skin is crisp on the surfaces, but moist and flavorful next to the meat. You are served an ample portion of the ribcage. At this age many of the small ribs have not calcified, so they are tender to chew. Succulent and delicious. Tripa are also cooked low and slow so they melt on your tongue. Sauce is majestic. Our waiter was very cordial and we took his advice to close with the ponche, and we were very glad we did. A soufflée with a wisp of orange zest in the ice cream was the perfect closer. Bravo.

Duque is one of the oldest restaurants in the world, so we tried it on our trip to Segovia. There…read moreare dozens of places to eat as you walk between the Aqueduct and the Cathedral and Castle. Duque is unique in its heritage, its ambience (indoor, white linen table cloths, nicer dresses wait staff), and the offering of the traditional suckling pig. We made reservations and due to a goof on my part we had to delay it a day. They accommodated without a problem and communicated through email. That said, we ate at around 2 pm and I don't think we would have had a problem if we just walked in without a reservation, but this probably depends on the tourist volume and season. My wife and I ordered the large beans and the suckling pig and salad. It was A LOT of food. We really enjoyed the large beans and the traditional cooking approach using a pork extras broth. The suckling pig lives up to its reputation. The meat was super tender and the skin was very crispy. My wife and I couldn't eat all of our portions, but what we did eat was fantastic. We also had the beer and it was quite good. We ended the meal with coffee, which was very good. We did not eat dessert but it looks like they had some good ones. We probably stayed there for about 90 minutes, which was a nice way to take a break from the beautiful but dominant sunshine. This was probably the most expensive place in Segovia to eat, but we thought it was a great experience and value. As a final thought, we didn't do a very good job as English speakers trying to communicate in Spanish, but with context clues and their willingness to talk a bit in English we managed.

Duque - Stairs to somewhere cool, I'm sure.  I didn't take them but really was intrigued.

During a wine tour of the Ribera del Duero region, our guide brought us to this restaurant in…read moreAranda de Duero. I am usually leery of restaurants on tours, but as soon as I saw how packed this place was at 2:00 and how we were the only tourists in the building, I knew we were in for a treat. My wife, brother in law, and I sampled a few varieties of meat centric tapas at this Castilian restaurant. They specialize in roast meats here, and both the roast lamb leg and grilled lamb chops were excellently seasoned and succulent. Other highlights of the meal included the housemade morcilla and the mushrooms with foie gras and fried eggs. For those who want to eat slightly lighter, we too appreciated the ventresca tuna belly with anchovies and roasted marinated peppers. We did not imbibe, but the restaurant serves multiple wines by the glass from the associated winery. The ambiance here is old school tapas bar with legs of ham hanging from the ceiling, a perpetually busy bar, and dark wood furnishings. Additionally, the basement of the restaurant houses an authentic wine cave and museum which demonstrates the old way of making and storing wine. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan on exploring the cave, as the steep steps can be slippery. While far from the lightest meal we had in Spain, this restaurant offered memorable meat dishes and a delightfully old world, local ambiance. If you are in the area, you could do far worse for a meal.

We arrived a bit before 1, had some Aranda Rosé, stayed with Cecina with foie gras, main course as…read moretheir grilled wild catch, not only their service was great, food was incredibly prepared, delicious and without spices! Our server Ely was super nice and recommended different dishes from the start to desert. No wonder they received more than 1800+ 5 stars review!!!
