Good food, service, and great Sebastian.
This restaurant is in Astorga, León, Spain. We called on our way home from Lugo to Madrid. They graciously accommodated our party off 11 even though they were almost full. The place seats about 70. My daughter had the trout which was delicious. The rest of us shared their signature dish which is the Cocido Maragato. The cocido was delicious. The owners and the waiter were very attentive to us and the rest of the tables. They were generous in offering to refill all courses of the Cocido (meats, garbanzos, repollo, sopa de fideo). The garbanzos were like butter. Since we ordered the menu, we also had wine (opened tableside, we had two Riojas), dessert and coffee. The dessert, natilla and roscón, was just right as well; not too sweet. The settings of white linens and white plates added an extra elegance. They had to turn away at least 10 other parties while we dined. It's nice to see that they take pride in n quality and service above profits because they could easily full a place twice the size.
THE place to enjoy El cocido mara gato in Astorga and even with gluten free options! Portions are huge and very well done. Wine, water, coffee and great pride in the dishes come included in the 22€ price. It's worth it! But don't plan on eating before or after!! I would definitely eat here again.
Para comer como en casa y un trato inmejorable. 100% recomendable. Consejo: reservar porque la gente repite y recomienda mucho, como hare yo. Muchas gracias
Aunque al principio parecía que estábamos ofendiendo por no pedir el cocido maragato, y tuvimos casi que discutir para poder pedir a la carta, finalmente tuvimos opción y fue una buena experiencia.
La recomendación de la ensalada maragata (con garbanzos y bacalao) fue acertada, y las opciones de entrecot, mollejas, oreja y morro, o la trucha fueron muy buenas.
Las cantidades también estaban bien.
Quitando la insistencia incómoda de principio, el resto del trato fue muy bueno y atento.
Por hacer un poco de balance, el local pecó de saturado, con espacios justos para sentarse y moverse por el local.
Cocido Maragato was excellent! The down-side is that we wanted to share. The Cocido Maragato is charged per person though. No sharing.
Great local restaurant featuring Spanish specialties and pilgrim meals.
Great place, must eat here. Cocido maragato!!!
