Toledo Restaurants

Toledo is not a city known for its gastronomy. You'll come across plenty bars and restaurants offering good value 'menus del dia' but if you're looking for something special serving up traditional Castilian dishes such as partridge or roast suckling pig then it's a good idea to plan your dining rather than choosing a restaurant at random.

Here are a few suggestions of Toledo restaurants where we're sure you won't be disappointed.

Asador Adolfo
Address: La Granada 6
Tel: 92-522-7321

This long established favourite is housed in an old Jewish townhouse which dates back to the 15th century. It is located in the heart of the historical centre, just a short distance from the Cathedral, and serves up excellent game dishes such as partridge and venison. Beef, veal and lamb dishes will delight the palettes of meat eaters whilst a favourite amongst fish eaters is the hake in saffron.


Hostal del Cardenal
Address: Paseo Recaredo 24
Tel: 92-522-4900


This is the most famous restaurant in Toledo where you can try typical Castilian roast dishes such as suckling pig and young lamb or a partridge casserole. If you've already enjoyed dining in the famous Botin's restaurant in Madrid then you'll find the Hostal de Cardenal an equally enjoyable dining experience as it's owned by the same family. Baked hake and smoked salmon or good choices if you've had your fill of meat.


Casón de los López
Address: Sillería 3
Tel: 92-525-4774


For exquisite local fare in the most charming of settings, the Casón de los López takes some beating. Popular dishes from the local countryside include partridge, venison and rabbit served in one of Toledo's most charming buildings which lies on a small street near the Plaza de Zocódover.

La Abadía
Address: Plaza de San Nicolás 3
Tel: 92-525-0746

Another good choice for a traditional Castilian meal of roast meats or local favourites such as partridge casserole. If you don't want a large meal you can go to La Abadia and just order tapas with a bottle of wine in the bar rather than going down into the restaurant.


Toledo Parador Restaurant
Address: Cerro del Emperador
Tel: 92-522-1850

If you're staying at the Parador of Toledo (guests also welcome) you might prefer to return to the hotel to dine. Its restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view over the city and the food isn't bad either. Typical Castilian fare is available as well as fish dishes and a range of tapas.
