A
La Bodeguilla de Basilio
Arrive here with an appetite, as you're presented with a complimentary plate of tapas when you order a drink, and not just a slice of dried-up cheese – typical freebies are a combo of quail eggs, ham, fried potatoes, lettuce hearts and courgettes. Understandably, it gets packed out, so head to the restaurant out back for more of the same (except you have to pay). If you are bored with conversation, the walls are covered with fascinating clutter, ranging from old pics of Cuenca to farming tools.

Manolo de la Osa
Following the success of his flagship Las Rejas restaurant in nearby Las Pedroñeras, celebrated chef Manuel de la Osa has opened up this superb restaurant at Ars Natura. Osa creates unique dishes using traditional local ingredients, like red partridge salad with butter beans and oyster mushrooms. The decor is suitably elegant. Reservations are essential.

American Piccolo
Weary of the ubiquitous meaty fare? This independent restaurant packs in young couples on an affordable date, with its welcoming, diverse menu of Tex-Mex, Italian and Argentinean cuisine. Expect reliably acceptable rather than exceptional cuisine, with more than 125 dishes plus an adventurous wine list with plenty of imports.

D
Comedor Posada de San José
The Canadian owner has sensibly ensured that tourists can eat here according to their timetable back home. The food is uncomplicated and good, ranging from the reliable classic of fried eggs and (homemade) chips to solomillo de cerdo a la sidra (pork loin in cider). Desserts include strawberries and cream.

Mesón Casas Colgadas
Housed in one of the casas colgadas, Cuenca's gourmet pride and joy fuses an amazing location with delicious traditional food on the menu, such as venison stew and the quaintly translated boned little pork hands stew (pig-trotter stew). Reservations are recommended.
