Brigecio

Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

Impressively run by a friendly married couple, this restaurant located in a small village 10km to the northwest of Benavente takes its name from an ancient Asturian hill fort known as “Castro Brigecio”. Behind its façade, you’ll find a single, slightly impersonal contemporary-style dining room, albeit with a welcoming fireplace and excellent service. The extensive à la carte of traditional cuisine (on which you’ll also find the occasional more modern and contemporary recipe) is complemented by a selection of cod dishes (“bacalao a lo Tío” and “bacalao con crestas de gallo” (chicken comb) etc)

El Ermitaño

€€€

El Ermitaño is accessed by a minor road flanked by vegetable gardens and fields of corn, a setting which reaffirms the gastronomic, cultural and family legacy of this aristocratic country house which retains close links with its surroundings and boasts an adjoining hermitage dating back to 1775. The Pérez brothers (Pedro Mario and Óscar Manuel), who look for contentment in even the smallest of things and who, in their own words, 'cook what we are', remain loyal to their history, their heritage and to their different yet complementary personalities. Take your pick between the à la carte, featur

La Trébede

Traditional Cuisine · Bib

Here, on the outskirts of this small village in Zamora province, young chef Pablo González has taken over the reins of this simple yet characterful restaurant with a gabled roof and a decor of agricultural implements. In the semi-visible kitchen, the focus is on an updated take on traditional cooking typified by standout dishes such as the crispy shrimp omelette with a slightly sweet touch thanks to the addition of a hint of quince, and the confit of pig’s ear cooked at low temperature, with a dried tomato and mussel salsa brava. While you’re in the area, we also recommend visiting the highly

Famous for its artisanal blankets and bedspreads, Val de San Lorenzo is a small village just a few kilometres from Astorga in the heart of the Maragatería region in the province of León. This restaurant, occupying an old stone house that was once used as a dairy (hence its name), boasts a decidedly rustic yet meticulous decor which provides the backdrop for an à la carte of traditionally based cooking (cured meat croquettes; “false” duck risotto with wild mushrooms; pistachio biscuit with raspberry mousse and lemon ice-cream etc), impressively complemented by a tasting menu (served to the whol

Las Termas

This family-run restaurant, just a few metres from the palace designed by Gaudí, boasts a spacious dining room featuring ochre walls and wood furnishings that create a very welcoming feel. Although it offers other dishes based around local and regional ingredients, the undoubted star of the show here is its signature and ever-present “Cocido Maragato” stew (closed price menu, wine and coffee included). The unique feature of this dish is that, contrary to usual practice, it is served in reverse order with the meat first, followed by the chickpeas and lastly the soup. You can also purchase Las T

Coscolo

€

This delightful village is famous for its “Cocido Maragato”, a dish that for centuries has, against convention, been served here in reverse order (first the meat, then the chickpeas, followed by the soup at the end). At Coscolo, the special feature of this legendary recipe is that it is prepared with products that are smoked, cured and prepared on the property using ingredients sourced from the local area. To this stew the Navarra-born chef here likes to add tiny details that add even more personality, hence the change of name of the dish on the menu to that of his restaurant (“Cocido Coscolo”
