Brigecio

Impressively run by a friendly married couple, this restaurant located in a small village 10km to the northwest of Benavente takes its name from an ancient Asturian hill fort known as “Castro Brigecio”. Behind its façade, you’ll find a single, slightly impersonal contemporary-style dining room, albeit with a welcoming fireplace and excellent service. The extensive à la carte of traditional cuisine (on which you’ll also find the occasional more modern and contemporary recipe) is complemented by a selection of cod dishes (“bacalao a lo Tío” and “bacalao con crestas de gallo” (chicken comb) etc), an impressive daily menu (except in summer), plus a more extensive set option entitled Bib Gourmand in honour of our Michelin distinction! The famous Zamora-style octopus is a must!
