We enjoyed our tapas in this bar. It is small and very busy which would be a problem for some. They have been very creative with their tapas ideas. We particularly liked the combinations with fruits. The quality was very good, as was the service. The downside for us was having everything on a slice of bread, montadito style. Shame about that.

La Parrilla de San Lorenzo is presented with all its environmental attributes as a Castilian Style Rotisserie, with holm oak wood oven and grill in sight of the diner, where the lamb of Castilla y León IGP (seal of guarantee and origin) along with veal and beef acquire their finest. In our restaurant you can taste a large variety of fish received daily from Galician Markets, cutting-edge salads, Iberian products from Castilla y León, without neglecting its magnificent and extensive wine cellar with over 300 references, culminating with tempting desserts homemade, including the delicious and famous "Tarta de las Monjas" (Cake of the nuns).

"Rediscovering neatly intensity of traditional flavors, those that can only be conquered with products d e quality and guaranteed origin and a cook slow mime ... No more trick in the kitchen of high quality. It is therefore necessary to learn to try and enrich it in the kitchen so very good with the wide lands of Castile and Leon, with its historic garden that we inherited; Mount Baroque hunting; mushrooms and berries; moorland grazing or three poultry that were always at our parties ...

Trigo manages to be both classically Northern Spanish, yet modern and inventive. Each course represented some recognisable and familiar ingredients (sardines, pigeon, bottifara sausage) each was given a slight twist which took them closer to perfection and further away from predictable cliche. The space is pleasant and the staff take great care of you. And for all that, the prices are extremely fair.
5. Niza
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 998 reviews
As the first restaurant in Valladolid to offer pizzas from a real wood-fired oven, Niza has been welcoming clients through its doors since 1989. Italian food and excellent pizzas are the mainstay of this restaurant, although there are plenty of alternatives on the menu including hake carpaccio, Provencal tart. There are also international dishes and options for vegetarians and celiacs. Decoration is minimalist and functional creating a spacious and welcoming dining area, ideal for fun and relaxed evenings. Attention to detail and its friendly service have made Niza one of the city's most fashionable restaurants for more than ten years.

Where to start really with this restaurant. We were the first to be there at 8pm and luckily so, because less than 45 mins later the place was packed and all seats taken. We asked the super friendly guy behind the bar to give us their speciality tapas and he did. After every two tapas he came and asked us if we wanted another round which we obviously did :) About the food: super good, all of it. About the wine: very good as well, both the house red as well as the white. About the staff: loved them. About the ambiance: great. Needless to say: I highly recommend!
9. Restaurante Damaso

There are people who are talented at what they do. There are others that put in a lot of passion. But few manage to combine talent and passion as harmoniously as Damaso Vergara.
At a first impression the restaurant Damaso is not a canonical place. A tiny place in the middle of an even tinier village, with rather cozy, warm, informal atmosphere and a friendly staff that makes you feel immediately at ease. There is no -printed- menu; it is the chef Damaso who actually describes to each guest what's on the menu (depending on the freshest ingredients he found in the market).
Then the surprise: every single dish is a carefully assembled symphony of flavors and textures digging their roots into the local tradition but with a fantastic spin of freshness, multiple source of inspiration and experimentation, all plated with care and a very good sense of balance and aesthetics.
I won’t spend more words describing the many dishes I’ve experienced, as I have probably tried the most of them over a period of several years, having been there so many times. The overall perception though is worth mentioning: not a single one left me ever disappointed, perhaps some where less spectacular, but again, overall a full satisfaction each and every time I have been there.
I also won’t recommend any of the dishes, as I believe the best way to experience this place is to share several in order to taste most of the menu, particularly given that it is possible to opt for half-portions (Besides, the menu is seasonal and based on the market availability anyway).
And the wine list…well, there is not exactly a wine list. Just ask Damaso, and he will find an interesting option from his cellar!
The bill is finally is another (good) surprise. For a full dinner with two half-entrees (usually preceded by an amuse bouche), a main, a couple of dessert shared for the table, red and dessert wine I usually pay below 50 Euro/pax. Yeah, it might be a slightly higher bill than a traditional restaurant, but when I compare it to all the other Michelin star restaurants I have been to across the globe (and Damaso despite not having any star should definitely be compared with such places) it is definitely a fare bill.
No wonder it is ranking in the top list of must-go restaurants, it is perhaps the best hidden gem of the whole of Castilla y Leon.
Enhorabuena Damaso!

If only all tapas served in Spain was as nice as this. The portions sizes and menu was traditional, but most places are round here. The food was excellent, great flavours and some very unique dishes alongside the traditional dishes. I recommend the Chili octopus, shame you can't order a large!
