Barro

★ Michelin€€€€Creative

Local, ecologically minded ingredients, a focus on a zero-waste philosophy, artisanally produced crockery and support for local small-scale producers are all key here. In this restaurant, which occupies an impressively refurbished 200-year-old warehouse previously used to store flour, the team works according to a single mantra: 'cooking the past from the present, but with an eye on the future'. Fronted by Ávila-born chef Carlos Casillas, the restaurant features a kitchen visible from the dining room and boasts superb views of the city’s walls from the opposite bank of the River Adaja.

Caleña

€€€Contemporary, Regional Cuisine

A unique restaurant located alongside the city walls (the name Caleña is a reference to the type of stone used in its construction) and part of the La Casa del Presidente hotel, which was once the home of Adolfo Suárez (the first elected president of the Spanish government in its modern democratic era).This elegant eatery, occupying a rustic, glass-fronted annexe in the garden area of the hotel, has its own independent access and is run by young chef Diego Sanz, who aims to create an experience that takes guests on a journey across the roots of Castilian cuisine, albeit from a modern perspecti

El Almacén

€€€Traditional Cuisine

A family-run restaurant located in an old wheat warehouse, outside the city walls, which stands out for its views of the imposing medieval fortifications. The markedly traditional and homemade cuisine, is embodied in the dishes on the menu (there is an initial section called "Isidora has prepared today...") and in different daily recommendations. They have a unique and quite elaborate dessert, called Pastel chorreante de almendra (Dripping almond cake), which should be ordered at the beginning of the meal!

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.4/5 · 80 reviews

El Almacén in Avila offers traditional cuisine with notable views of the city walls. Reviews frequently praise the high quality of food, particularly well-grilled meats, and attentive service creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, some guests cite concerns regarding value for money, citing high prices relative to portions. Issues with meal pacing, inconsistent dish execution, and occasional management oversights were also noted. While many describe it as a reliable choice for a quality dining experience, others found it overrated. It suits visitors prioritizing ambiance and traditional flavors, though expectations regarding cost and service consistency should be managed.

Suitable for diners prioritizing views and traditional flavors, but maintain realistic expectations regarding price and service consistency.

Surco

€€Contemporary, Regional Cuisine

A delicious salad with tuna belly and prawns, rabbit ravioli with garlic, grilled aubergine with oyster sauce, deer meatballs with mushrooms... This restaurant, on the ground floor of the same building as the award-winning Barro, offers diners chef Carlos Casillas’s most accessible and informal cuisine, and here he gives free rein to his culinary creativity with traditional dishes (some are to share and half portions are available), all from a modern and attractive perspective that also demonstrates his commitment to the region. It has a large bar area, perfect for tapas, chatting or enjoying
