Brigecio

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 features a choice of cod dishes such as bacalao a lo Tío and bacalao con crestas de gallo (chicken comb) alongside a few more modern and contemporary options, an impressive “executive” menu and two set menus with a nod to our very own Bib Gourmand. The famous Zamora-style octopus is a must!
