Tapas Bars
The narrow streets and small plazas south of La Seo harbour some great tapas bars - ideal for lunch-time snacking or cooling off with a beer on a warm evening. On the cosy Plaza de Santa Marta, Cervecería Marpy and Casa Vitorinos II have bar-top treats in plenty, while Casa Domino offers hams and montados (toasted baguette slices topped with Cabrales cheese, among other tantalising spreads).
There's another string of tapas bars towards the southern end of Calle Heroísmo (most open until midnight). Still more snacking options cram Calle Moneva, off Calle de Zurita east of Paseo de la Independencia, where El Calamar Bravo churns out the fried squid sandwiches and La Mejill…

El Rincón de Aragón
The decor here is basic and the food stripped down to its essence, but the eating is top-notch and ideal for finding out why people get excited about Aragonese cooking. One house speciality is the ternasco asado con patatas a la pobre (roasted suckling lamb ribs with 'poor man's potatoes'). If you're feeling hungry, this and other local dishes usually appear on the four-course menú Aragonés (€19.90), which is a great order. The restaurant is in the covered lane between Calle de Santiago and Plaza del Pilar.

Casa Lac
The grand old lady of the Zaragoza dining scene, Casa Lac pays homage to the 19th century (it opened in 1825) with its seigneurial decor and impeccable service. The food revolves around Aragonese staples, although the lamb carpaccio with foie gras shows it's not averse to a little experimentation. Dine upstairs with the who's who of Zaragoza society, or downstairs in the more informal tapas bar, where it also serves raciones (large tapas serving, €8 to €15).

La Reserva
Vying for attention with numerous international restaurants along Calle de Cádiz, La Reserva is always full and deservedly so. It serves tapas (from €3), raciones (€6.50 to €10), rice dishes (€15 to €20, minimum two people) and warm salads (from €14.50). It's all very creative and contemporary, and the atmosphere informal. To get here, head south from Plaza de España for about 200m and turn right into Calle de Cádiz.

Casa Pascualillo
When Metropoli, the respected weekend magazine of El Mundo newspaper, set out to find the best 50 tapas bars in Spain, it's no surprise that Casa Pascualillo made the final cut. The bar groans under the weight of every tapas variety imaginable, with seafood and meat in abundance; the house speciality is El Pascualillo, a 'small' bocadillo (filled roll) of jamón, mushrooms and onion.

Taberna Doña Casta
If you like your tapas without too many frills, this enduringly popular and informal taberna (tavern) could become your culinary home in Zaragoza. The bottle of wine and six tapas for €23 is a terrific way to meet all your gastronomic needs at a reasonable price. Its specialities are croquetas (croquettes) and egg-based dishes.

La Miguería
Who would have thought you could do so much with migas (breadcrumbs)… La Miguería serves this filling Aragonese quick-fix food in more than a dozen varieties, including drenched in olive oil, and topped with sardines and foie gras. It opens at 7.30pm, which may help those struggling to cope with late Spanish dinner times.

Blasón del Tubo
Run by the same owners as Casa Pascualillo, Blasón del Tubo takes a more contemporary approach to tapas and there's a fine upstairs restaurant. There's a small selection of innovative tapas lined up along the bar, as well as a lengthy list of à la carte choices in the restaurant.

Gran Café de Zaragoza
This Zaragoza institution evokes the grand old cafes of Spain’s past with a gold-plated facade and an old-style civility in the service. That said, it’s a place to be seen by young and old alike and the elegant salon is a good place for morning coffee or breakfast.

Churrería la Fama
La Fama, tucked away off Calle de Alfonso I, is a good spot for fresh churros (long, deep-fried doughnuts) and chocolate to go with morning coffee; if you've been out all night, being here when it opens is a great way to begin (or end) your day.

Churrasco
It's meat eaters' heaven at this long-established place with jamón Ibérico a speciality, although there's decent fish and seafood as well. A good bet is the day's centros (shared platters of ham, squid and other treats).

Los Victorinos
This place, tucked away in a pedestrian lane just west of Calle de Don Jaime I, also made Metropoli 's Top-50 list. Although there aren't as many options on the bar, there are plenty more on the menu, and choices for vegetarians.

Mariscos Y Chacinas Azoque
There's a pleasant Andalucían flavour to this fine restaurant where a cluster of dangling jamónes and a bar-top spread of seafood greet you. Relish the fishy wonders at the heart of landlocked Zaragoza.
