Hello fellow travelers,
I will be visiting Salamanca and then Caceres starting in the 3rd week of February.
I would welcome any recommendations for restaurants.
Gracias!

Caceres - If you don’t want to drop €225/person at 3 Michelin star Atrio, Torre de Sande is a great way to sample Toño Perez’ cooking.
The places around the main square are expensive and not great. You’re paying for the view and a front seat for the Paseo. If there’s a performance happening (check at the nearby tourist office) it’s worth grabbing a table WITH A SUN UMBRELLA.
We wanted to try Almatea but missed out.
Jardín de los Golfines SlowBar is a weird setting but the food is good. Why weird?… it’s a fake outdoor courtyard with A/C
Everywhere you go, you’ll have access to the amazing Torta del Casar cheese, amazing pork cuts (e.g. pluma ) and the usual tapas suspects.
Taperia Yuste is very solid.

Atrio is one of my best food memories. My parents and I, as a teenager, stumbled in there in shorts for lunch in the scorching August heat, some time in the very early 2000s, at its former location in some nondescript buildings outside the old town. It had 1 star back then apparently so my parents must have had it in the back of their mind, but to me it felt completely random. Yet this was probably the best food I had ever had until then. Glad to see it made it to 3 stars!
225€ is good value for 3-Michelin star cuisine, by the way. That's more in line with 2-star prices in France.
But anyway, I ramble and I have no current recommendation to offer!
