Restaurante Río de la Plata — Restaurant in Salamanca

Old school restaurant. Linen tablecloths, napkins, waiters in full jackets and slacks and ties. Elegant dining ware from plates and utensils to stem ware. Superbly appointed surrounding with full wood wainscoting and furnishings.

The food. Marvelous is an understatement! Meats, fish, chicken, vegetables, salads..a complete assortment. Outstanding presentation and preparation.

The wait staff are fully attentive without hovering.. no rushing.. but you are under a watchful eye. Harken back to the days of fine dining. The art of table service is not lost here.

Spend some time here. Enjoy the quality of food, service and ambiance. You will remember...

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Though we had been referred by our hotel’s front desk, we did not have a reservation. Nevertheless, we were warmly greeted and seated outside at a nice table with old fashioned linens and pretty china.

We had asked for a ‘less touristy’ restaurant with a local menu and Rio de la Plata fit that perfectly. We had artichokes and a green salad for firsts, followed by an expertly prepared veal chop and some tasty roast kid. The waiter recommended an excellent Rioja. Sadly we were too full for dessert.

Not our cheapest meal in Spain, but certainly one...

Luckily, a friend in the know recommended this place. On my first visit to ravishing Salamanca, we ended up here on our last evening. We were fortunate to get an outdoor table, where for a long, leisurely spell we ate like Spanish nobility. Seafood here is just incredible, especially enjoyable if you have had your fill of jamon Iberico. The wine list is extensive and the service attentive without being obtrusive. It's not cheap by Spanish standards, but it's worth it for what you get. I would definitely...
