Excited to be back on the Camino. Any food and wine suggestions along The Way welcomed.

La Moreña albergue in Ledigos has a wonderful in-house chef for their dining room (not for the bar -- which is the usual tapas).... In 2018 we were introduced to mango mousse there, and there was a glorious sort of crustless quiche with cheese and scallions served with membrillo.... grilled salmon steaks for the main... lovely.

I will try to find the location of our very nice supper in Triacastela as well -- it wasn't *unusual* but it was of a very good quality.

Hi, and welcome back! I'm sure a lot of specific suggestions will soon come. In the meantime, have a look at the threads tagged with "food & drink".

Thank you Faye. I will add this to the list and post it to the group when it’s complete. Very kind.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked at some last night which was very helpful. It’s just possible that I will pull the members recommendations into a sheet with others from elsewhere that when it’s done can be posted to this group.

Thanks for the advice

Bars Jubera and Soriano in Logrono…..best tapas on the entire trail. One focused solely on mushrooms and one on patatas bravas….just round the corner from each other. Microbrewery 4 Lions in Leon….fantastic APA on draft and each pint served with top end Serrano ham and crusty bread….can you imagine ?? Finally, a bar/micro brewery in Santiago called Singulario….it’s a bit off the beaten track in the newer part of town but absolutely terrific beer, served in large wine glasses. Buen Camino…..I’ll be following you in May on my second Camino Frances…..enjoy !

The donativo at Zabaldika <3...communal meal. No matter what you have, it'll be a lovely experience.
Tapas in Santiago at Petiscos do Cardeal
Cafe Babia across from the big albergue in Burgos...spend the day!

Brilliant, thank you. These are now on the growing list from members on the forum. Many thanks

Thank you so much for your reply and for the info. It’s in my note book. Thank you and Buen Camino, Chris

Two culinary experiences from two previous Caminos.

-Umm no solo Tapas in Logrono.
You can still enjoy the mushroom caps and tater tots as recomened per other poster, then get your fill at this place.

-O Tobo Do Lobo in Melide.
Skip the Pulpo tradition in town, you can get it anywhere. I had the best steak at this restaurant.

You are walking 180 days ahead of my next Camino and I am looking forward reading about your own experiences.

 

[Chris RJ]

Thanks so very much for the advice. I will certainly put these in my pilgrim list and will try them out in April.

I will post a completed list on this group with my notes and other pilgrim’s recommendations so that you can use the up to date info for your Camino.

Buen Camino!
