Found this restaurant in Astorga while on the camino de Santiago. This is a classy, old school type restaurant with very experienced wait staff. They have menus in English and the waiter worked hard to speak to us in English which is helpful when trying to determine what best to order according to our tastes. There was an older gentlemen waiter who appeared to have 40 years experience. It showed in the way he handled himself and poured the wine. Polished is a good word I would use. The food was incredible. Had chick peas with wild mushrooms soup and pork cheeks. We chose a red Rioja from their extensive wine list and loved it. They offered a multigrain bread that was to die for. The chef came to our table twice to check on us and make sure we were pleased. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want a top notch overall...

All the desserts are delicious, so make sure to save room for them. Plus, the chef personally visits the tables, adding a special and personal touch to the experience. Serrano is truly a gem in the heart of Astorga, and I highly recommend it. Definitely not...
Read moreOnly had our Camino clothes but felt very looked after. Service was incredible - including recommendations of what to order, accompanied by the most friendly smiles from anyone we have come across along the trail. Thank you Raul!

Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a treat after too many pilgrim chicken legs. Worth every cent and more! A...
