7. Bar-Restaurante Cris
Reviewed By Leonardo T
During my Camino de Santiago many beautiful things happened but my experience at Bar Cris was one of the highlights of my adventure. After leaving Astorga I stopped here for a nice breakfast and I noticed that I completely forgot to take money with me on the way. I asked Rosi, the bar owner, where I could find the closest bank on the way and it turns out that it was at Ponferrada, 2 days of walking away. Since I basically had to survive for 2 days with only 5â¬, Rosi offered me to give me a ride back to Astorga so that I could take the money and then she drove me back to the bar. It was one of the most genuine and generous acts I have ever experienced, thanks Rosi, and wish you the best!

While walking the Camino de Santiago, this restaurant was recommended to us. We took a cab from Astorga and we were not disappointed. Another reviewer said the staff was not friendly, but I had the opposite experience. In fact, all the patrons were friendly as well. There was so much food and good wine, it felt like a family holiday. I'm still not certain exactly what each item on the many plates was called, but I'm sure we did not miss any part of the pig. I highly recommend this side trip. The stone village is charming.

AIZKORRI is a modern venue where the best culinary traditions of Spain are shared in both formats and products. This melting pot of traditions is reflected in the careful selection of pintxos (hot and cold), a varied menu of sea and mountains, which also

After all the good reviews I was pretty disappointed with the service. We sat down placed a drink order and then had to call the waiter over 20 minutes later as he had forgotten the order. Food was ok when it came but cod tapas was bland. Tuna better. Then we asked for the bill. We waited and waited again forgotten. It was not that busy and they all had flash iPads to order off but not sure it made them any more efficient. Overall food ok service 2/10.

4. Pizzeria Tratoria Venecia

starting the Camino France we stopped here for dinner. It was the start of the off season so the pizzeria only had a handful of people. The staff was friendly and they had English menus, which was helpful just coming off a long international flight and four hour bus ride. The pizza was really good and wine selection wasn't horrible. The crust is a bit different so don't expect Italian style but more of a Spanish version of Italian pizza. It was a nice start since in the smaller towns you will only have access to traditional Spanish dishes, which are great but after several weeks on the Camino if you are looking for a change of pace this is a great option.

The food in this place was ok. Only ok. This area of Spain is known for its good meat produce at affordable prices. This restaurant offers decent meat (not great) at expensive prices. I am pretty sure that you can find something better for a cheaper price.Besides this, they had an offer of 2 gin tonics for the price of 1, we ordered two gin tonics and when the bill came, it was 10 euros per gin tonic!! Of course, with that "offer" you are paying already for the two of them! To get an idea, in Astorga you can easily get a big and nicely made gintonic for 6 euros.This place is just average, worth it if you are hungry and have no other place to go.

An excellent cocido maragato with very attentive service during the whole meal. We would definitely come back. At 19,50 euros + drinks seems reasonably priced for the quality of the food you're going to have.I would advise taking your time to fully enjoy a cocido maragato. This is no quick meal and you'll probably won't have dinner that night. Meats are served first, then chickpeas and cabbage and soup comes the last. Be sure to to not eat all the meats. Do leave space for the amazingly good chickpeas and cabbage. You'll look at chickpeas with different eyes after cocido maragato. Last to come is the soup, which is rich and delicious. Desert is natillas, the Spanish equivalent to custard, with a bit of empanada de Astorga on it. During the meal you'll be asked whether you want more meat, chickpeas or soup. At your own risk say yes. it's very tempting but I wouldn't do it. If you do and need a visit to the pharmacy, ask for a box of Almax, more effective than any Tums or Alka-Seltzer.

Reviewed By tom b
Constant Companion and I were visiting Astorga just prior to going on a five day cooking holiday. Our Chef and his host both recommended Restaurante Serrano. It is a family run restaurant providing excellent service and recommendations, locally sourced/ expertly prepared cuisine by Chef Father or Son, and located in a lovely ambiance combining traditional with modern. CC and I split an order of Pulpo with Chick Peas for a starter. The Pico Parda chick peas accompanied by succulent octopus spiced with Pimenton de La Vera and oil was probably one of the best Pulpo renditions we have experienced. Next CC opted for the Cod with red pepper and hard boiled eggs with a lovely red sauce. She devoured it! I selected the Baby Lamb special which arrived with local frites and peppers. I love lamb and this was absolutely exquisite!! CC had no room for Postres but I just had to try the âLeche fritaâ-a dessert made of milk thickened with flour, coated with egg and fried! Two Vino Blanco and a couple of Crianza and we were ready to "depart in heaven" when the Chef came over to make sure everything was OK!! Lovely!!
