RESTAURANTE JOSE MARIA
Read moreThis is an excellent and very popular restaurant in Segovia. Unfortunately, the service can sometimes be a bit of a hindrance, since it is so successful.

Otherwise, you can stop by for a drink - there are some very good bottles on the menu - and enjoy some very good homemade tapas for free.
EL FIGÓN DE LOS COMUNEROS

The lamb chops are also delicious. The welcome is very pleasant and the setting, rustic as one could wish, make it a really nice place to stop. To be tried.

Otherwise, the homemade sangría is delicious.
