 Exquisite food in cozy setting |
Van Dyck, 66 Salamanca 37005 Spain |
This is a cozy restaurant decorated with surprising paintings by local artists. The decor is mainly rustic in style and it gives the place an intimate feel, very appropriate for romantic dinners. As for starters, try the foie with shallot sauce, the variety of codfish or the assorted farmhouse cheese. The quality of their main courses is equally remarkable. Their suckling lamb sweetbread with mushrooms, their beef dishes and the different kinds of carpaccio, which will delight the most discerning palate, are good options. As for dessert, you should definitely try the pear crepes. For the perfect meal, you can choose from more than 360 different wines, though the house wine, Herencia Remondo, is a top-quality Rioja and is very recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Perfect for wine lovers |
El Clavel, 6 Salamanca 37001 Spain +34 923 21 6175 |
José Antonio Cabañas, the owner of this long-established restaurant, is a renowned authority on wines and wine-lovers will appreciate the selection he has made available. There are two large dining rooms, one of which is reserved exclusively for groups. The interior is decorated throughout in warm tones with paintings inspired by Goya's masterpieces which create an intimate atmosphere for the gourmets who come here. The house specialties include the fried clams with Pedrejas pine nuts and the artful arrangement of wild mushrooms covered with pate on a bed of sweet onions cooked in sherry. The homemade vegetable stew (pisto) with blood sausage from Burgos is pretty good too. Review © 2007, Wcities |
