Dinner was very good; reservations recommended. We sat at the bar as it was crowded on a Monday night. Great wine list; reasonable prices.

Our party of four enjoyed an excellent lunch here today. Bonnie was our server and she spoke fluent English and provided great service. All four of us highly recommend it his restaurant. read more

I'm not understanding the raving reviews for this place. This is a tourist trap in my opinion. Mostly foreigners and not locals eating here. The waiters were super nice when we were trying to get a table but then we felt ignored once seated. The wine pours were measly compared to other places. The cheese plate was not quality cheese at all. I can get better cheese for cheaper at most bars. The same goes for the ibéricos. These disappointed me so much that I had a hard time enjoying the rest of my meal. The solomillo was the best thing we had. The potatoes were good. The curry rice with shrimp was ok. The waiter did give us a complimentary piece of cheesecake which was nice and very good. I was very excited to try this place based on reviews on multiple sites but alas, it did not meet my expectations. read more

Best wine bar in Salamanca! Alvaro one of the owners was an awesome host. Venture into the local wine varieties and try the cured beef (Cecina). read more

We had several Tapas, all excellent, but the grilled pork and pear tart for dessert were amazing!

We didn't make a reservation, the staff accommodated is for us to sit outside. It was a little bit cool but not too bad. We asked the staff to recommend us the dishes, one was a mixed vegetable, the other I'm not 100%sure but both were delicious. We decided to order more and took the recommendations of the staff ordered t bone steak and potato with mojo sauce. The steak was juicy and a big portion. The potatoes were tender. read more

10/10, Great nice upscale (but not overpriced) place to go. They were fully booked on a Tuesday night but still got us in. Waiter was nice, funny and accommodating, got us a free dessert at the end ! Got the mushrooms and pasta, along with 2 appetizers (highly recommend the bread with tomatoes and the pesto mozzarella brocheta), and tried a few wines. Everything was great! For a 3 course dinner for two was only 50! read more

This has been our favorite restaurant in all of a Spain so far! Came in off another users review and was not disappointed in the least. Place gets jam packed for dinner, recommend reservations (we got lucky and were able to snag bar seating last night). Service was impeccable. They had great recommendations for both food and wine and were very friendly as well, despite how busy it was. Everything was fantastic but the watercress salad (believe it or not) and the pork were absolute showstoppers. For dessert, they recommended the cheesecake and it was delicious! Asked why it tasted so different and they revealed it was made with goat cheese! Loved it - if you miss out on this place, you'd sorry regret it. read more

This place is amazing! Both locals and foreigners alike were enjoying items off the menu. Food amazing, service amazing. The vibe is chill and I recommend eating outside and enjoying the beauty of Salamanca. read more

Amazing place and definitely the best food that we had while here. We came in for lunch and ordered the chickpea salad, roasted red peppers, duck and pork. Everything was delicious and the waitress went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience. Reservations are a must, you can't just walk in and grab a table. read more

Should be one of the best restaurants I had in Spain. The staff are nice and they speak good English. The wines (white and red) he recommended aren't expensive but fit for the dishes I ordered. The food are Goooood! I will upload some photos later. Let me write some Chinese commendations: 这餐厅还是相当不错。 因为在西班牙我看用yelp点评的人不多。 找高评价餐厅不易 因为评论的数量太少。 这个餐厅Vinodiario是我在google map上看到的， 219人评价，四星半。 菜品很有特色，我点了个主菜是蘑菇（oyster mushroom），还有鳕鱼红米饭（Cod and red rice），很可口！ read more

Outstanding quality and novel with classic selections. Highly recommended. Excellent service

Great food, big portions, vegetarian options. The service was great, they know English if needed. Highly recommend the anchovy tomato bread, garbanzo's with truffle oil, and the pasta with Caesar salad read more

If you are coming to Salamanca you must try Vinodiario Vinoteca y Degustación. A variety of tasty options on the menu with the freshest ingredients from the region. Try the garbanzos with spices, dried plums, raisins and truffles as an appetizer. The tostas are a good choice for sharing as the portions are quite large. The chicken skewer with Mojo Picon red sauce was wonderful and the chicken very juicy. Quality is outstanding with very reasonable prices. The owners have their own range of wines which go very well with the meal. Open for lunch or dinner we enjoyed both very much. read more

We had an awesome lunch here. It's away from the more touristy area, it is more of a place for locals. The staff still seems to speak some English, if you need that. We had a lovely manchego and quince paste starter, we shared a big arugula salad, that also had cheese and quince in it, and for Main's we shared a simple pasta with arugula and Parmesan that was lovely. Nice staff. Good place for observing the locals busy about their days. read more

This is one of the best places I have eaten at, ever. The staff are friendly and quite knowledgable about the menu and wines. Their English is good enough to let you enjoy your time having great wine and food. It's busy so either come early or be patient at the bar. read more

Amazing meal! One of my favorite places on our trip to Spain. As a non-Spanish speaker, I was worried about navigating the menu but no problem. We arrived at the restaurant opening without reservations. They offered us a seat at the bar and the fun began. We pursued the menu and had picked out several entree and appetizers when our server came to the rescue! He had excellent suggestions for wine with very thorough explanation of its origins and characteristics. Then he guided us though a sampling of the menu which was half of our original order but still lots of food to share. I would have gone for another meal if I had s chance. read more

This is a wine bar/restaurant. I would freely translate El Vinodiario as Our Daily Wine. As befits a wine bar the friendly manager described the wines to us in decided detail. We had tastes of each before choosing. I think he offered sampling first, but if not just ask. He asked what we liked back home to suggest local wines that were somewhat similar or not too dissimilar. Of course, you might want to orient yourself differently in this regard. Food: there were three of us and we had 3 or 4 tapas or raciones (don't remember). Food was very good. Prices were quite fair. read more

Th best restaurant in Salamanca. Great food, service, and pricing! Ask for the tostas and cheesecake.

Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in all of Spain, not just Salamanca. This university city knows quality food and the high praises in all reviews are well earned. Went there tonight, not only because of the great reviews online but upon the recommendations of the hotel personnel where we stayed one block away. It was amazing! Started with a choice red wine from Ribera del Duero, and two tapas (one a cheese platter the other anchovies on tomato lathered toast), followed by yummy dried/cured beef with almonds and olive oil, and then a Rocket/Parmesan/Quince/Pine Nut salad and a pasta dish. The accompanying bread was tasty and they kept bringing more and more. For dessert, a small portion of cheesecake with strawberry preserves topped thing off for a delightful evening in this wonderful city. They would do well to have more smaller tables for two rather than only four because most of the folks coming into this small but quaint place were couples. They could always slide two small tables together to accommodate four or five people. Seems like such a waste, give how popular this place is. Highly recommend this restaurant in Salamanca. read more

My wife and myself dine there last night. Not a 'tourist trap' in this beautiful city. Excellent food and a wide selection of wines. I can recommend this place without hesitation. read more

On a drive from Porto to Paris with no plans other than A to B, I took a break for lunch in the historic Salamanca, known for its history and University dating to 12th C. ( thank the Dominican Monks for creating the laws that took us out of the Medieval Times) and I stepped into a gem of a tapas and wine that was made me want to stay even more. Pablo, the jefe, created a space for me even though I had no reservation, which you will need, especially on a Sunday. He and the rest of the staff delivered an experience that made me love the city even more! I suggest the 1/2 portions, they are huge! Cheers to anyone who is lucky enough to have 1/2 the day I had. Thank you read more

Cheesecake and lemon ice cream are just awesome - different taste and I don't think any other restaurant could replicate it! Worth the stop. Go early around 9 pm, after that its gets pretty crowded. Our server provided a good service, suggested some good plates and was very professional. We returned the day after to get the ice cream and cheesecake before going back to Madrid :P. read more

We had lunch our first day in Salamanca. Monica was absolutely wonderful in helping us order a delicious meal for four. As a result, we returned for dinner the next day... when Ricardo took the lead in helping us order the most delicious meal... Iberian pork, warm mozzarella salad, salmon tosta, mushrooms.... all so delicious! Best meal we've had in Spain... FOR SURE! Gracias! read more

Perfect tapas and wine place. Recommended by our hotel. Large selection of both wine and tapas. Extremely friendly and helpful servers. We were in doubt on how much to order and our waitress made a thoughtful suggestion that proved to be the perfect amount of food. It's a bit away from the core tourist areas, but still an easy walk. It seemed to be hosting mostly locals. I'd definitely recommend for lighter fare and a drink. read more

We ate here 6 times over a 5 day period for both lunch and dinner. We sampled many restaurants while visiting Salamanca, but kept returning here. We are from both Boston and San Francisco so we know food. The food is expertly prepared and presented. This is not the typical tapas fare. The T bone steak for instance was better quality and grilled than others we sampled at two separate restaurants billed as high end. The service is attentive and kind. Owner and staff speak English. Would agree with this being the top rated restaurant in Salamanca. read more

Absolutely charming location. Ver popular and busy. We snagged a seat at the bar and enjoyed some lovely white wine (a Rueda) and great tapas. read more

We have been traveling in Northern Spain for about 2 weeks and this was by far the best food and service we have seen. Quite simply a Great place to eat. Everyone we exceptionally nice and helpful. Our waiter gave us English menus and clearly explained what everything was and made some excellent suggestions. Four of us shared strips of pork loin, shrimp curry, chicken, and chickpeas after a tasty tomato and cheese. We also shared two deserts (not to be missed) and had 4 glasses of upscale wine. Our entire bill was under 80 euros. A great evening. read more

Very good place to drink Spanish wine. They have a fantastic selection of open wines. The waitstaff is friendly and well-versed in English but not to the level that one thinks "it's a tourist trap". Lots of Spanyiards in here, too. The food is also great, a selection of local food and not your standard, typical and at times boring selection of tapas. It's quite challenging to get a table for dinner without a reservation. You can score a place at the counter, if you arrive early (8pm when the place opens) and you are no more than two. To reserve, it's best to pass by. If that's not possible, I recommend to call at around 8-8.30pm when they are not yet totally busy. And be patient, if you need a few tries until someone answers the phone. read more

I was in Salamanca on my own for two nights on my way to meet family. I ate dinner at Vinodiario both nights. The first night I arrived when they had just closed for 3 hours in preparation for dinner. I saw an employee leaving and asked him if he spoke English. All of this back story is important because although I try to assimilate -for some reason Spanish does not come to me. Literally 5 other fragmented languages- but no Spanish. So I really appreciate when people are patient and kind while I muddle through. Far fewer people speak any English in Salamanca as compared to Madrid and not everyone is patient :/ Ivan stopped to speak to me and he was very kind. The restaurant was fully booked but he said he could seat me at the bar if I arrived when they opened at 8. Paolo was my very kind waiter both nights. He had excellent suggestions and gave me a few nice treats from time to time. I particularly enjoyed the watercress salad and the duck dish. The cheesecake tasted like creme brûlée. So yum. Bottom line- the food was excellent. The atmosphere was great. Everyone was kind but a special thank you to Paolo and Ivan for making a lonely foreign traveler feel welcome. read more
