Restaurante Mencía — Restaurant in Ponferrada

My husband and I visited here on the 14th May while doing the Camino De Santiago. We said we would like the menu of the day but we are vegetarian. They kindly made us a vegetarian option. We wasn't expecting much for the price but we couldn't fault it every course was delicious. The staff were very professional and served every course promptly. It's situated a little away from the main area but it's really worth walking the extra few 100m, you will not be disappointed. It has been our favourite meal on the whole...

This place needs more publicity. We ate here after reading other reviews. It is away from the main area where most people stay, but yes, we had 4 food courses to share, and although we are vegetarian, we were not disappointed. My wife had a full bottle of wine, and me a beer, to help the food go down, and also bread. Following the meal, we had an ice cream and a coffee each too, and the price, €11 each. Unbeatable. Eat here, there were few people eaten whilst we were there and they should be turning...

We visited here on the recommendation of friends and it was an excellent choice!

The food was plentiful and very tasty and the wine was delicious!

We had the menu and we started off with cecina which came on a large plate as a very generous portion. The main dishes were pork mince with pasta and green beans with potatoes, all very tasty and again in large quantities.

We chose to have the cornetto for dessert.

All in all, great value for money and if you are a Pilgrim, most certainly superb...
