Restaurante El Mesón de Gonzalo

Recommend by our Hotel and it did not disappoint! They made a reservation for us and would recommend you also make a reservation , we arrived at 7:30 pm when they open and the restaurant filled up fast . We started with the cheese plate and bread. We had the sirloin steak 250g and was excellent, very tender and full of flavor:) We added French fries since the steak comes without accompaniment. We ended with the creamy Cheesecake with strawberry ice cream:)

Great place, with a very friendly service and good food. Only comment or advice is to try not to use the tables that are so close to the street since there are a lot of locals that approached us asking for money or food…. Maybe a table inside would be best.

This was my first trip to Salamanca, and I was referred by my friend from Madrid to dine at El Meson de Gonzalo. What a fabulous recommendation! The wine and food were simply sublime (the grilled artichoke with Wagyu will be remembered for a long time!) and both the atmosphere and service were exemplary. Adrian was particularly attentive and most professional. All in all— a truly 5 star experience!

We couldn’t communicate well with the servers but nonetheless the food and recommendations they gave were fantastic. I really loved the steak tartar and appetitezer

We had dinner in the exceptional low level room that looks like a cellar. Steak tartar, beef cheek meat balls and stewed oxtail were rich in taste. We are in Spain so jamón ibérico was a must! Their wine list is very wide and the service is of high standards. We would go again to taste more dishes.

A wonderful restaurant in the prime location in Salamanca. Everything we ate here was delicious. The wine list is also very wide of quality wines from Spain. We loved every second here and will definitely come back. The staff were outstanding and super sweet making our stay the most memorable.

We had a great evening at the restaurant with delicious food and a great atmosphere. You can sit outside and enjoy the vibrant nightlife very close to the Plaza Mayor. We choose to sit inside in the beautiful cellar with the old vaulted ceiling. We had a three course meal and shared a delicious Chardonnay. The service was relaxed and cosy. We highly recommend this place.

Our host recommended the restaurant. As it is not that flexible to choose restaurants during Christmas time, we had two diners here during our stay in Salamanca. The food is quite good. Beef tartare is impressive and we strongly recommend it. The other meat courses are also delicious with the good combination of roast taste and tenderness.
