Restaurante de carretera de toda la vida, a un paso de Astorga. En el exterior hay aparcamiento, dentro una docena de mesas que se suelen llenar.Tiene un meno de 13â¬, con varios primeros y segundos. Cocina sencilla y casera, pero hay que reconocer que ponen unas alubias que se funde el misterio.Asà que un par de platos de alubias, y unos huevos fritos con picadillo, que también los bordan, y sales nuevo.Para repetir...

Smallish simple but adequate modern bar and restaurant for mainly steaks, burgers, wraps etc. Excellent beef quality both for fillets, rib steaks and burgers. Friendly young staff and efficient service. Good house wine. Location is very good immediately next to Town Hall on the main square.

Don Lorenzo and his wife/chef Maria Begoña, prepared a feast for us. The Cocido de Maragato, a regional dish that they are famous for, was outstanding! Be sure to have enough time to savor the courses. It's an incredible experience: 10 different meats to start with ; each one more delicious than the previous one accompanied with fresh juicy tomatoes; followed by flavorful cabbage and chickpeas; then caldo de Maragato; natilla, coffee and a delicious digestif called chupito made out of Irujo de Nuez Verde. It's an outstanding and memorable experience. Don Lorenzo is the host with the most: gracious and accommodating to his customers. Maria's cuisine is delicious . Como para chuparse Los dedos! I highly recommend this. You will be more than satisfied. No doubt about it

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.

We choose Casa Maragata II to indulge our interest in trying the local lunch speciality called 'Cocido Maragato'. Our selection was based on the very hospitable welcoming we received when we made our booking enquiry the previous day, the excellent ambience of the interior and it's proximity to the Plaza Mayor.It did not disappoint, we had a very long leisurely 5 course lunch with good wine all for only â¬22 each.

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!!

Pros: location (in the middle of town), atmosphere (upscale but homey), food (incredible taste and size of meal), serviceCons: opening hours...make sure to check them ahead of timeI rarely rate restaurants but this one deserves it. I liked everything about it and the strong wine that came with the meal didn't take away from it at all. We ate for over two hours. I got the full menu (starts with the main dish then a second major dish then soup then dessert). Make sure to plan on having the time and savour the atmosphere, taste, and experience.As a pilgrim walking the camino I was really ready for a "home-cooked" meal that wasn't a 'pilgrim' menu which at this point became very redundant. This restaurant offers something you won't get anywhere else and it is less than double the price of the pilgrim menus on the camino.

We felt that we had fallen on our feet.Roberto is a truly lovely man who is a great chef, and cooks with love.We had the trout soup and grilled mushrooms to start with. I had fish cooked over the grill, whilst my husband had a piece of meat that barely fitted on his plate.Fantastic quality food.And a flan de dos chocolates de postre: una maravilla.Muchisimas gracias Roberto por to gran hospitalidad. Nos lo pasamos fenomenal.Muchas gracias. Ser felices

Good ingredients are the best start for a great result, and the full meal of "cocido maragato" was a prove of that, from the saussages to the dessert including the soup, the chickpeas (among the best ones I ever tried) and even the vegetables. You better come in a bit hungry thus not having to regret you cannot eat at least a bit of everything.
