Los Xarmientos

Zaragoza


Aragonese meat dishes are a speciality at this artfully designed restaurant. It styles itself as a parrilla, meaning dishes are cooked on a barbecue-style grill. It’s a fine place to sample ternasco asado (roast lamb), Aragon’s most emblematic dish, accompanied by a Somontano wine and perhaps preceded by a spinach and goat's-cheese salad…or even some snails?
