Casa Nano
Tucked behind Plaza de España, the simpático staff here serve dishes like cordero a la ciruela (lamb with plums; €18) and patatas al rebujón (wedges of thick potato omelette). We also recommend the three-course menú extremeño (€23). Don your shades and brave the bright lights of the dining room or head outside for a table on the quiet pedestrian street.

Convivium
Head straight for the pretty patio with tables set under a large lemon tree at this informal place where the speciality is tortillinas (mini-omelettes with fillings including cod, salami, spinach, aubergine and prawns). The tortillina, gazpacho and drink for €2.50 has to be Mérida's best deal. The raciones (€9 to €14) are more traditional.

Casa Benito
Squeeze onto a tiny stool in the wood-panelled dining room, prop up the bar or relax on the sunny terrace for tapas at this bullfighting enthusiasts' hang-out, its walls plastered with photos, posters and memorabilia from the ring. The adjacent asador specialises in roasts including rabo de toro (bull's tail; €13.75) – no surprises there.

Restaurante Nicolás
Long admired as a local favourite, this is one of the classier city dining options. Its relaxing ground-floor bar serves raciones while upstairs the food is decidedly more exciting than the restaurant's rather drab decor.
