Top 10 restaurants in Burgos, Spain
Burgos (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbuɾɣos], UK: /ˈbʊərɡɒs/, US: /ˈbʊərɡoʊs/) is a city in northern Spain and the historic capital of Castile. It is situated on the confluence of the Arlanzón river tributaries, at the edge of the Iberian central plateau. It has about 180,000 inhabitants in the actual city and another 20,000 in the metropolitan area. It is the capital of the province of Burgos, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Burgos was once the capital of the Crown of Castile, and the Burgos Laws or Leyes de Burgos which first governed the behaviour of Spaniards towards the natives of the Americas were promulgated here in 1512.

Thrilled to find a place where I could eat everything on the menu. Marisol handles the front of the house (make sure you put your name on the list as they don't take reservations), waits on you and busses the tables. Worth the wait. Do yourself a favor and don't leave once you are on the list. Tables may clear up sooner than expected and those waiting outside get in quicker. Delicious, innovative and creative vegetarian food. Kudos for offering a choice in the land where pork and shellfish rule.

I guess it is something only the Spanish can understand that even though the staff are serving limited menu, if you want full menu they chase you away and reserve a table for you.
Had to go to their beer joint next door for the wait where we encountered most rude waiter.
Once we were allowed to take our place in the restaurant proper the service was good even though the waiter had limited English.
We ordered the tripe stew, game bird salad, veal roast, mackerel and slow cooked lamb.
Tripe was good. Game bird salad featured salmon as well as 2 small pieces of fowl - disappointing. Roast veal = inedible = very thin pieces of veal smothered in cold flourery sauce. lamb was as expected falling off the bone.
Would find another restaurant when next in town.

We stopped by here for dinner around 8:30 pm. It was pretty busy and we managed to find a small table in the corner.
Ordered the Calamari Fritos for 6.80 euros and Gambas Morito for 8.80 euros. A large beer was 2.30 euros and a glass of red wine was 1.20 euros. Bread was .80 euros. All in all, we spent 19.90 euros for dinner. The portions are large. I would say the food is average.
4. El huerto de Roque

Reviewed By MikTheViking - Andalusia
The title above says it all: this restaurant offers superb food, nicely, but without the frills of a silver service restaurant. Families come here, foodies too. Pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago rub shoulders with tourists here because of Trip Advisor (like us).
All the choices on offer are based on market availability. Some are perennial delights. Others change with the season (I looked for the apricot dessert that another reviewer mentioned, but it was out of season).
The menu was wide enough to make us think, but was limited in choices for the vegetarian. All dishes were imaginative, nicely prepared and beautifully presented. Oh yes, they tasted brilliant as well... mustn't forget that detail.
The wine list was OK but nothing spectacular. On the other hand, the prices were very reasonable.
The setting is basic. A dining room Seating about 30-35 (booking is recommended), bare wood tables with a mixture of chairs, water from the tap (excellent, why pay for commercial water from the same sources?), strange ceiling decorations.
But food is the central theme: you won't get better in Burgos than El huerto de Roque.

Reviewed By sbf67 - Brisbane, Australia
This place is 9kms from central Burgos but well worth the cab fare. But if you speak NO Spanish then maybe it isn't for you. But if you can get by, then make the effort as this is the roast baby lamb that locals eat. €30 for morcilla, lamb, salad, a bottle of wine, bread, desert, coffee and a liquor. Delicious just doesn't describe it - so have a look at the pictures.

This place thou a little on the expensive side is a real treat. Hard to believe you get food like this when you first walk in the door of this seemingly cramped little bar. We had the menu del dia..Highly recommended !

Reviewed By Pat M - Derby, United Kingdom
We nearly didn't try this becauses it was so crowded around 7:30pm that we couldn't physically get to the counter to order. My poor Spanish wasn't a problem, it was so noisy that everyone who orderd simply shouted one or two words of what they wanted and the staff coped excellently. They serve the larger racions rather than tapas so we shared one portion of smoked beef served on on greasproof paper, it was delicious.

Reviewed By SamuFigu - Porto District, Portugal
I love this type of restaurante: staying (or sitting) at the desk, ordering some Rioja / Ribera, try the first + second platte and dessert and finally a good expresso. Altough the place was full when I arrived, the staff prepared a corner for me. Price ration excellent. if you visit Burgos, go to Carmen!

We had a sort of tasting menu with small plates and quite a few courses. The blend of Spanish and international flavours was great. A dish not to miss is the rice mains. All around pleasant evening, with great food and attentive service. Definitely worth a visit while in Burgos!

Reviewed By Vagabond_of_StAlbans - St Albans
I read about this restaurant in an article in the Guardian. It's slightly off the main tourist route, but still very central, no problem walking there. It's popular with locals, make sure you book in advance. It serves a modern take on traditional Spanish food, using lovely fresh local ingredients, beautifully cooked and presented. Atmosphere and deco are great and we enjoyed a lovely evening here. Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Burgos, it makes a nice change from the traditional restaurants around the Cathedral.
