La Espuma y La Sepia — Restaurant in Valladolid

Miguel is the soul of this place, he’s such a great owner!!

We spotted it almost by mistake, as the Universe made us find a car park slot 1min from this little gem.

I’m Asturian, so when I saw I could have a sidra on my way to Madrid I felt delighted.

Miguel was super super busy, as it was only him to serve the whole restaurant on a really busy lunch service. However, he did not let us down!

It really impressed us to see how a man who should be at home resting and enjoying his pension was able to run the whole place so easily: taking order, serving food, pouring a coffee while taking a payment and making a joke to a teenager that was sat next to us.

They have sidra Trabanco, which is obvs the best you can find. Make sure you try this (and don’t drive after it if you’re not used to tipsy driving!)

The only bad thing was a man wearing a black jacket that was doing absolutely nothing. I asked him for the bill and he said “oh yes, Miguel will bring it now”… what the hell man?! I think Miguel should fire this lazy employee and hire somebody that wants to work instead - it was very embarrassing 😕

Anyways, we recommend the pulpo, the cachopo (of course) and the homemade peach pudding (my husband’s favourite).

If you’re around, give it a try, be nice and patient with Miguel and you won’t regret it. Top...

La verdad que la experiencia ha sido bastante mala aunque el trato fue bastante correcto. La sepia es un producto bastante sencillote para hacerlo a la plancha, pero no todo el mundo sabe darle el punto correcto. Estaba dura, no se podía ni pinchar con el tenedor, daba la impresión de que la tenían hecha y al momento recalentada en la plancha; no tenía sabor y la salsa que la acompañaba más de lo mismo. El sablazo fue considerable, 15 euros por una ración, bastante bien de cantidad, pero de calidad dejaba mucho que desear, y...

We had the menu of the day. Menestra de verduras was great and the tripe and chickpeas. Enjoyed steak and the postres. Nice house red. Really enjoyed our meal,...
