What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante Las Tapas de Gonzalo is praised for its prime location overlooking the Plaza Mayor, offering both traditional and creative tapas. Diners enjoy the spectacular views and a vibrant atmosphere, with many highlighting the delicious steak tartare and patatas bravas. However, some find the prices to be high for the portion sizes, and a few reviews mention specific dishes not meeting expectations.
"We were unsure about trying to find a restaurant in the Plaza Mayor because it is such an iconic spot but we need not have worried. We had fantastic service from Ana, including really helpful recommendations, and great food at an excellent price. And for lunch we were sitting in full shade on the terrace which was appreciated in 40 degrees. 100% recommend."

"This is a nice place to have tapas located right in the main square of SALAMNCA. They have a small selection of tapas and the atmosphere is very nice. It is a little expensive here to have tapas however it is to be expected as you are located right in the main square. It is more expensive to sit and eat outside than inside. The food is nice and the staff are very friendly. I would recommend a stop here to have a drink and some tapas."

"Not cool to put a basket with 4 small buns on the table, and then charge 8 euros for them at the end of the meal. We didn't ask for it and didn't eat it. Be careful."
