I walked the Camino de Santiago in September 2025 and went to the bar for a cana . It was very hot in the bar upstairs and the waitress allowed me to sit downstairs at a dinning table to drink my beer. She was very kind. The restaurent was quite busy with local clients . I enjoyed the salon and would return again.
Location is acceptab, but everything else... LESS than ONE star. They are suppose to open at 18 but there is no signs of any activity. DO NOT EVEN TRY TO FIND IT. AVOID AND CHOOSE ONE OF THE BETTER PLACES IN CASTROJERIZ.
After a long day's slog through mud and stormy skies, this place felt like slipping into a well-worn boot that still holds its shape—familiar, honest, and just what the soul needs. It’s the kind of rustic eatery where locals still lean in at the bar and the walls carry the weight of old laughter. Traditional food, served up like grandma still watches from the kitchen—hearty, flavorful, and plenty of it. The staff? Saints in aprons. Friendly without the fluff, patient with bumbling Spanish and blistered pilgrims. Andrés, the bartender, poured more than drinks—he poured stories, jokes, and that kind of genuine warmth you can’t fake. We talked trail, towns, and life between sips. A man who gets it. Drinks? Covered. Cleanliness? Spotless. Prices? You pay fair and leave full. And the atmosphere? It's got that Camino echo—muddy boots, sunburnt faces glowing, stories traded like currency. Would I recommend it? Hell yes. Five stars and a toast to the people who still know how to feed you body and soul. Note: may not be open during winter months.
I just started the Meseta phase of the Camino and chanced upon this restaurant after one of my Pilgrim friends spoke to a local, who said this was the place for good food. It did not disappoint. The Pilgrims menu was affordable, generous in size, and delicious. The best meal I have had since Najera, and the best meal so far on the Camino. Highly recommend all Pilgrims to visit here, for lunch or dinner.
We had a lovely waitress serving us for dinner who was very kind. We were waiting a while for our drinks and menu's because it was very busy and she was apologetic. The food was good for the price and the atmosphere was nice.
