At the historic Cigarral del Ángel (a “cigarral” is a typical Toledo-style country house), set in lush gardens on the banks of the Tagus, guests can savour the unusual cuisine of chef Iván Cerdeño, who creates dishes based on memories from the past and seasonality. In them, he showcases the finest ingredients from La Mancha, the distinctive flavours of game from the Montes de Toledo, and colourful produce from local vegetable gardens. He also takes inspiration from the different cultures that have left their legacy here, as well as from the distant seas around the Iberian Peninsula. Pickles, s
WebsiteThis small restaurant, located away from the main tourist area of the city and with many years of history under its belt, is enjoying a second “golden age” in the hands of young owner-chef Ismael Suleiman, who has brought a new lease of life and a more gastronomic feel to the cuisine. The overall feel here is that of a neighbourly and informal bistro with a single dining room plus a pavement terrace. The cooking is traditional in style, featuring seasonal ingredients and meticulous presentation, with a strong focus on delicious stews such as Toledo-style partridge stew with white beans, and st

WebsiteA rustic-cum-contemporary restaurant somewhat tucked away in a narrow street with plenty of character just a few metres from the cathedral. The former taberna here has been completely transformed to make the most of the interior space, which is dominated by a white colour scheme and open brickwork. The contemporary-inspired à la carte, featuring a few dishes for sharing and what the restaurant calls “small individual bites” (don’t miss the Iberian ham croquettes with torrezno-style popcorn or the addictive spider crab ravioli with a saffron cream), is complemented by two set menus: Tradición (
WebsiteThis classic restaurant in the heart of Toledo’s historic quarter boasts a delightful patio-cum-dining room dating back to the 12C, and has had a new lease of life under the command of the sons of the owner, the legendary Adolfo Muñoz. The cuisine is centred around a single seasonal tasting menu that has a strong focus on herbs and vegetables from the latter’s own country estate. The cooking here is also healthy, tasty and respectful of tradition, albeit from a more contemporary perspective, and features options such as organic green asparagus from nearby Camuñas, with turmeric and Melanosporu
