Restaurante de cocina castellana “Mesón del Segoviano” — Restaurant in Salou

This is a great little restaurant with a very caring head chef/owner. We were eager beavers and were standing outside before they even opened at 8pm. We got a seat without booking (it was a Monday night).

The menu was full of Spanish classics, there was something for everyone.

We had a mix of croquettes to start - my favourite was the suckling pig. We also had the “Timbal” (Potatoes baker’s style, black pudding with caramelised onion and a fried egg on top) which was to die for. Incredible flavours and cooked to perfection.

For our mains, my wife had the suckling pig, which she described as 'genuine, authentic and well-cooked'. I had the Iberian pork cheek confit stuffed with mushrooms with potato parmentiere. I was familiar with the flavours of this dish having tasted it originally in Cadiz, and this didn't disappoint - fall-apart beef with rich potatoes and earthy mushrooms.

I cannot rate this place highly enough. It's been a great start to our trip and theres enough on the menu to make us...

Bueno de sobras quién me conocen saben lo crítico q soy con la comida... y no pq sí sino pq llevo años cocinando y saboreando todo tipo de comidas... esta vez le toca a la comida castellana de un mesón q hay en Salou... todo perfecto... recepción... atención... nada de objetar ante la atención de los camareros... un 10 para ellos... los platos muy bien presentados... la verdad q de 10 también pero... al llegar mi entrecot y es una de las dos pegas q pondré... estaba algo duro por algunas zonas... demasiado cocinado aunque de sabor bueno... mi duda es de su maduración por lo q yo hubiera probado el rodaballo por curiosidad... pero mi defecto es q siempre tiro de carne 🥩. La otra pega y q lamentablemente no es un caso aislado es la bebida... en éste caso el vino... lo marcan cómo vino de la casa... hasta ahí perfecto... un vino joven de 2022... de DO de la terra alta y q en cualquier mercado cuesta entre 4 y 6€ q te claven 16,5€ por él la verdad es q defrauda... no es suficiente duplicar el precio de mercado sino q encima lo incrementan exponencialmente... una lástima la verdad querer lucrarse con estas cosas... pero... yo no fijo el precio... 😉 resumiendo menú castellano de fin de semana 60€ con cafés si lo pides... con vino 74,5€ el precio se desordena un poco para mí parecer. Pero a parte de eso y teniéndolo presente recomiendo probar sus platos pq sí q cuidan los detalles de las...

Fantastic little unassuming restaurant serving authentic dishes which were absolutely delicious and very generous portions. The set menu is very good value. We were a party of 11 and had most things on the menu between us, every dish was beautiful. Three courses is very filling so either eat late or skip lunch. Highlights were Black Pudding starter and veal starter. Mains, suckling pig and oxtail stew. No bad...
