Restaurante Alfonso VIII

Castilla-La Mancha


Just off the town's stunning Plaza Mayor, this time-tested favourite serves traditional cooking with an emphasis on grilled meats, though you'll also find swordfish, salmon, squid and Cordoban-style salmorejo (a rich tomato soup) – a small reminder that Andalucía is quite near. The three-course menú del día (€15) is good value. Reserve ahead on weekends.

Outside meal times, you can stop in for a coffee or something stronger at the attached cafe-bar.
