Restaurants in Trujillo

  1. A

    Restaurante La Troya

    Mention Trujillo to anyone in Spain and chances are that they'll have heard of La Troya – the restaurant and its founder, the late Concha Álvarez, are extremeño institutions. You will be directed to one of several dining areas and there, without warning, you will be presented with plates of tortilla, chor­izo, cheese and salad, followed by a three-course menú (with truly gargantuan portions) and including wine and water. Food is simple home cooking, but it's all about quantity and queues stretch out the door on weekends. If it all sounds a bit too girth expanding, opt for one of the tapas at the bar (€2) instead.

    Mesón Alberca

    A pretty ivy-clad terrace or dark-timber tables laid with gingham tablecloths create a choice of warm atmospheres for sampling classic extremeño cooking. The specialities here are oven roasts and solomillo ibérico con Torta del Casar (pork sirloin with creamy sheep’s-milk cheese).

    Corral del Rey

    This classic restaurant has four intimate dining rooms. Settle for the menú del día (€24) or choose from a tempting range of grills, roasts and fish dishes; the latter speciality being bacalao Corral del Rey (grilled cod with a courgette and roasted garlic sauce).

    Restaurante Pizarro

    Next door to La Troya, Restaur­ante Pizarro is much quieter and has arguably better food (they've been winning gastronomic awards since 1985). The dining room is pleasantly unpretentious, while the menu includes dishes like chicken stuffed with truffles, and frito de cordero (lamb stew).

  5. E

    Posada Restaurante Dos Orillas

    Just as the hotel is a gem, so the restaurant is a place of quiet, refined eating, whether alfresco on the patio or in the dining room, with its soft-hued fabrics. Fresh tastes are what it's all about here, with dishes like courgettes stuffed with mushrooms and prawns.
