Restaurants cuisine régionale Santander

A charming little bodega, loved by the locals for its family atmosphere and its famous cocidos. The place, which has remained very authentic with its hanging hams, is also popular for its cheese and charcuterie plates, which can be shared at the bar, around one of the small wooden tables or on the terrace. Try the queso Picón, a blue (and strong!) cheese from the Liébana valley, or the morcón iberico, a style of chorizo from the province of Salamanca. Lots of people on weekends: remember to book your table!

Just a stone's throw from Plaza Pombo, a place where you can enjoy traditional cuisine based on fresh local produce and vegetables from the region since 1964. In the lively room on the ground floor or the quieter upstairs, you can enjoy a good menu of the day or portions to share: rabas (breaded squid strips), mollejas (breaded gizzard)... accompanied by a fine selection of wines. You will also find a wide choice of fish and meat dishes such as monkfish a la plancha and venison with chestnuts.

On the corner of a pretty plaza where the church of Santa Lucía stands, this classic mesón offers a pleasant stop to share a plate of rabas (fried calamari), grilled anchovies, cold cuts and cheese or nibble on pinchos at the bar, of which there is a wide variety of choices. A la carte, many regional specialities are served in the form of raciones. You can enjoy them in the restaurant's noisy dining room at peak times or on the shaded terrace. Tasty, warm and unpretentious!
