Segovia🇪🇸 Restaurant recommendation El Sitio

🍖 El Sitio: Segovia’s 4.6-Star Gem—Don’t Miss the Crispy Suckling Pig! Found this spot on Google Maps with a glowing 4.6 rating—and it lived up to every star. If you’re in Segovia, add it to your must-visit list. 📍 Basics Name: El Sitio (easily searchable on Google Maps) Price: ~€180+ for a group (depends on what you order—receipt included in photos!) Vibe: Two floors—ground floor has a bar (great for drinks), second floor is the main dining area. We went off-peak, so no wait—perfect for skipping lines. 👴 Service Wins The staff? All white-haired grandpas with the kindest energy. They speak basic English, and when we weren’t sure about portion sizes for the suckling pig, one grandpa grabbed a plate and showed us photos on his phone to explain. So helpful! Even with language gaps, they checked in mid-meal: “Good? Enjoy?” Pure warmth—10% service charge? Totally worth it. 🍴 What We Ate (And Loved) Suckling Pig (Segovia’s Signature!) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-order. The skin is insanely crispy—crunches with every bite—while the meat is tender and juicy. No strong flavors, but zero (gamey taste). They even cut it into portions for our table—so thoughtful. Lamb Chops ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small, tender, and packed with flavor—no (lamb funk) at all. Served with crispy fries that had us fighting over the last bite (potato lovers, rejoice!). Grilled Pork Belly with Pumpkin Mash ⭐⭐⭐ The pork belly tasted like Chinese night market grilled pork—smoky and savory. The mash underneath balanced it, but it’s optional compared to the stars above. Squid ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sliced, seasoned, and served over potatoes. We ordered it for the chili powder (shoutout to my fellow Chengdu spice lovers 🌶️)—and it delivered: fragrant, slightly spicy, and addictive. Sangria 🍷 A must with tapas—refreshing, fruity, and the perfect pairing for all the rich dishes. 💡 Pro Tip Go off-peak to avoid crowds. And don’t stress about the text-only menu—just show photos from Google (we did, and it worked!). #SegoviaEats #SucklingPigHeaven #SpainFoodie
