Burgos Restaurants

  1. Casa Babylon

    Casa Babylon opened to much fanfare when we were in Burgos and it's certainly an innovative newcomer on the local restaurant scene. There's a nod to local specialties such as brick de morcilla de Burgos (Burgos blood sausage) and cordero asado (roast lamb), but it's fused to international flavours such as tempura and moussaka. It's cool and flashy and we hope the buzz that surrounded the place continues because it deserves to be full.

  2. Casa Ojeda

    This Burgos institution, all sheathed in dark wood, is one of the best places in Burgos to try the local Castilian specialty: cordero asado (lamb roasted in a clay oven). The upstairs dining room has outstanding food and faultless service, although we're not sure what we think of the menu which lists the calories and cholesterol for each dish. Prices for a more limited range of platos combinados are lower in the downstairs bar.

  3. Cervecería Morito

    Our pick of the Burgos eating scene, this classic Spanish tapas bar (noisy, attractive interior and great food) is always crowded, even on the quietest of Burgos nights; if it's full downstairs, there's more room on the first floor. A typical order is alpargata (lashings of cured ham with bread, tomato and olive oil) and we challenge you to find better calamares (calamari) elsewhere.

  4. Chocolatería Candilejas

    A great place for dessert, come here for killer cakes, churros (long, deep-fried doughnut) and batidos (milkshakes), all home-made.

  5. La Cabaña Arandino

    Opposite Cervecería Morito, this place doesn't quite match the atmosphere, but it's popular with a young crowd and the tapas are good; locals love the tigres (mussels with spicy sauce).
