Food and accommodation - Camino Frances

[CaminoWalks]

I am trying to give som good advice to a couple that wants to walk part of the camino in spring 2017. They are interested in the beautiful scenery and to taste some of the good cuisine in the various areas.
My suggestion was that they walk from Astorga to Sarria. Such they will experience what is in my opinion some of the best scenery. Anyone who can recommend places to eat (not pilgrim meals)?

For sure they should try to get to Santiago for the Galician cuisine, but they have only 7-10 days.

Any good recommendations for places to stay (3star hotels) and eat?

There was a discussion on the question of great eating places recently. You might find that thread a good place to start:

Astorga: Cocido Maragato at virtually any restaurant that offers it. I like this place:

In Villafranca del Bierzo for a bit of private comfort and/or a very good meal with delicious local Bierzo wine do stop at the Hostal de la Puerta del Perdon. Located on the CF opposite the castle as you enter the town it is a VERY comfortable stop especially on a cold early winter night.
