Fogones el Chato

Castilla-La Mancha


The sun-dappled terrace here is a place to linger, flanked by vegetable allotments (yes, expect organic fresh produce in the dishes), near the river. The uncomplicated menu concentrates on traditional dishes prepared with panache. The lunchtime menu of the day is excellent value. Reserve ahead.
