Segovia Restaurants

  1. Casa Duque

    Segovia's oldest dining establishment (open since 1895) is a local institution and a great place to sample cochinillo (suckling pig). It's a classy place with an old-world atmosphere and consistently great food and wine that draws Madrid celebrities for weekend lunches when reservations are essential. For less formality, try its cueva (cave) - which can be entered at Calle de Santa Engracia 10 - in the same building where you can get tapas and yummy cazuelas (stews).

  2. Cueva de San Esteban

    One of the only restaurants in Segovia not forcing suckling pig upon its customers, this popular spot focuses on seasonal dishes, serves varied tapas, and has a lively atmosphere and an excellent wine list.

    Head here for a mouthwatering array of biscuits and pastries. It's also one of the best places around for the local dessert: a rich, sweet concoction drenched in ponche, a popular Spanish spirit, and hence known as ponche segoviano .

    At the foot of the aqueduct, this is another one Segovia's most popular places for cochinillo (suckling pig) although it doesn't quite have the fame of Casa Duque.
