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.
