 Delicious venison sandwiches |
Plaza de San Nicolás, 3 Toledo 45001 Spain +34 925 25 0746 |
This is one of the most popular restaurants in Toledo for four reasons: the service is quick, the atmosphere is welcoming, the range of draught and bottled beers is enormous and the location is second to none, just 100m from the plaza de Zocodover. The building itself was a palace built in the 16th century and the owner has made the most of the unusual floor-plan to house the drinking and dining areas. Three of the dining rooms are in the old cuevas or cellars. The beer bar serves excellent pulgas (bite-size rolls) filled with goose and apple sauce or minced venison with mushroom sauce, amongst others things, as tapas. The speciality dish of the day at lunch time is a meal in itself, or choose from the exciting menu of imaginative dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Delicious game dishes |
Granada, 6 Toledo 45001 Spain +34 925 22 7321 http://www.adolfo.es |
One of the best restaurants in town, it serves up creative dishes made from fresh ingredients in an atmosphere redolent of the 14th and 15th centuries when the building was completed. Owner Adolfo Muñoz is world-famous for his game dishes and he's keen to promote the regional produce. Try the charcoal grilled squab with chicken breast and carmelized mandarin slices or fillets of lamb in a sauce of raisins and plums. The restaurant has four dining rooms and boasts one of the best wine cellars in Spain. You'll find it in the old Jewish Quarter close to the cathedral. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Busy street |
Santo Tomé Toledo 45002 Spain |
This important medieval street in the historic part of the city has lots of narrow side-streets that lead off it into Christian or Jewish quarters. The street was widened between 1558 and 1569 to enable easier access and an increase in commercial activity. These days, it's lined with shops and cafes that attract a lot of tourists on their way to places such as the Plaza del Conde to visit the Palacio de Fuensalida or on their way down to the San Juan de los Reyes Monastery.

Traditional Castilian cuisine |
Sinagoga, 6 Toledo 45001 Spain +34 925 22 1392 |
Come here for fine regional cuisine in an upmarket setting surrounded by traditional Castilian decor of hardwoods and stone. The kitchen specializes in red meats, Toledo-style partridge and roast lamb cooked using recipes handed down from generation to generation. Be careful with the desserts as they're formidably sweet. You'll find it in the heart of the old Jewish Quarter and there's another branch in Plaza del Ayuntamiento (+34 925 227 716) that closes during July. There's a catering service for business clients as well. This restaurant is closed in August. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Andalusia in Toledo |
México, 11 Toledo 45004 Spain +34 925 21 4419 |
This establishment is decorated like a typical Andalusian tavern. The lights, the chairs, the wreaths everything recreates the atmosphere of a stall at the Sevilla April Fair. This atmosphere is reflected in the menu as well, where fried fish is the king of the appetizers. To wash down these Andaluisan delights, there's nothing better than the house wine. A diverse crowd frequents Cepa Andaluza, located in the Santa Teresa neighborhood, although all enjoy listening to Sevillanas and other typical Andalusian music. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cocktails in old publishing house |
Callejón de la Sillería, s/n Toledo 45001 Spain |
This bar is housed in an old publishing house located close to the plaza de Zocodover. It's been a favorite nightspot for locals for years. The interior is decorated with a multitiude of images of roosters (gallos), and a large wrought-iron rooster stands guard at the entrance. The younger crowd (generally in their 20's) are attracted by the affordable prices. The music is good too, including a selection of mainstream and independent Spanish and international bands. The male and female bar staff tend to be attractive and friendly. Free WiFi for all customers. Space is available for private parties. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Typical dishes of Toledo |
Plaza de la Magdalena, 13 Toledo 45002 Spain +34 925 22 3384 |
This family establishment, located very close to plaza de Zocodover, has a lot of history. In Ludeña, guests can enjoy the best carcamusas (veal or pork cooked in tomato) in the city, as well as exquisite dishes such as squid in its own ink, shellfish cocktail, or mushrooms, all served as large tapas at the bar as well. There is a set house menu and a special menu. Photos of the owners with some famous people who have visited the restaurant adorn the walls. It is a shame that the friendliness of the service isn't up to par with the great gastronomic quality. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The heart of the city |
Ciudid Centro Toledo 45001 Spain |
This square is the central point of the city where locals and visitors get the chance to meet. The main streets of the old part of town start here and lead tourists to the principal historical sites.

Great bullfights, fiestas and macabre executions have also taken place here. During the Muslim era this was the location of the old cattle market ("Tulaytula") built on top of the ruins of the Roman wall. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is an excellent place to spend a few entertaining hours over the weekend when there's always a live show of some sort. It's normally musical, but it can range from country to cabaret. Sometimes there are magic shows or or performance art. Choose from the best range of beautifully presented cocktails and coffee liqueurs in town. It's a huge place with plenty of room to dance and lots of comfy chairs where you can sit and relax. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Go-Go dancers and striptease |
Ronda de Buenavista, 23 Toledo 45005 Spain +34 925 25 5648 |
A huge disco with lots of action, especially at the weekends when male and female dancers perform spectacular striptease acts. The crazy go-go dancers keep the tempo high all the way through until dawn, helped by the best DJs in the province. It's the place to be for every self-respecting dance lover in Toledo aged 20 to 40 and it forms part of a complex with a cafeteria, apartment-hotel and a pub. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The dance club par excellence |
Callejón de Lucio, 1 Toledo 45001 Spain +34 925 22 2071 |
This is the city's classic dance club. Located in the old town, next to Plaza Zocodover, it has been setting the pace for Toledo's night scene for years. Although it still looks like most of the dance clubs opened in Spain in the late 60s, Sithon's has known how to roll with the punches, bringing in new faces and names. Despite the wide musical variety of the DJs' repertoire, they play disco, dance, and techno primarily. Weekend night-owls come together to party in a place where they'll find great prices on drinks. From six in the evening until midnight, Sithon's is open to young people from 14 to 19 years old for "light sessions". During this time, the bar does not serve alcohol or tobacco.

Parties and live shows |
Rojas, 5 Toledo 45002 Spain +34 925 22 7514 |
A great place for tasty tapas and fine wine. Try the duck liver "tosta" in particular. The huge cocktail bar hosts live music and stand-up comics and acts as an ideal venue to celebrate parties and events like Carnaval and Halloween. You'll hear all sorts of music from flamenco to rock. You only pay admission when someone famous is performing. You'll find it close to Calle Santo Tome. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Prestigious reputation |
Paseo Circo Romano, 35 Toledo 45004 Spain +34 925 22 0545 |
There has been a functioning restaurant here for over a hundred years. Even before that, the building was a traditional inn that provided food and shelter for travellers. Nowadays, the clientele is mainly made up of tourists and local people celebrating weddings and other family gatherings in the spacious function rooms. Regular diners tend to order the Toledo-style partridge after they've tried it once. The crema de cangrejo (crab bisque) and the magras a caballo (potato omelette with Serrano ham inside and lean pork and sauce on top) are are worth trying too. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Disco-pub with a Latin touch |
Galería Comercial Miradero local 106 Paseo del Miradero Toledo 45001 Spain +34 925 21 5318 |
This disco-pub has a small dance floor that seems even smaller once you fill the bar with the large crowds that come in on weekend nights. Although the club is open from 11p on, it doesn't really take off until 2a, when the young clientele (25-30 years old) and the music is mainly Latin inspired, but also Spanish pop and all-time classics--take control. This bar is recommended for vampires or night-owls who want to end the night a little bit before the sun comes up. It is situated in an area where you can find lots of other discos and pubs.
