What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Restaurante alBalat for its delicious and well-presented Spanish cuisine, especially highlighting the Presa Ibérica and the exceptional value of the Menu del Día. The warm and friendly service contributes significantly to the pleasant dining experience. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some minor critiques mention a lack of taste in certain elements like croquetas or a desire for more spices in desserts.
"I came here with my partner and his family. They are from Caceres but I am from the states. This restaurant was simply amazing. My dish was so delicious. And the service was very warm and friendly. If you’re in town visiting and want a great place to enjoy food & a nice ambiance, visit here! Show this photo and order what I got: Presa ibérica. You won’t regret it! I liked it rare but obviously order as you would like. :)"

"Food was stupendous. We had the menu of the day (three courses). The vegetable soup hit the spot. The ‘cigarillos’ melted off the fork. Beef clearly slow cooked overnight and infused with flavors. Quite the gem. Not sure how good English service is but they were very patient with us in broken Spanish. (No photos, just messy plates.)"
Marc Huete
"Amazing service with tasty food but some room for improvement. For example, the croquetas’ filling was very well done but it lacked some taste. I could not notice the walnuts inside the carrot cake and to my taste, the dough lacked spices such as cinnamon. The cream in the cake was really good and the dough very spongy. The pluma ibérica was DELICIOUS and the partridge salad fresh and tasty."

Why Cáceres, Spain, Is a Foodie’s Delight
Later, an eight-minute walk delivers me to alBalat Restaurant. I gravitate to the bar, take a look at the menu and go straight for the Iberian pork shoulder. Paired with a glass of delicious local red wine Habla del Silencio, it’s a savory, unctuous symphony.
