"A family - run restaurant and carvery (asador) occupying a rural property that in the past served as a pharmacy. The dining rooms are rustic in design and complemented by a private room in what was once the chemist shop. The contemporary menu is hugely influenced by the traditional products of the area. Extensive tasting menu." - Michelin Inspector

Where to Stop on the Ribera y Rueda Wine Trail

"Run by chef Teodoro de la Cruz and his two sons, this Michelin-starred eatery in Valladolid draws inspiration from its surroundings—the region is chock-full of pine forests—as well as its drugstore namesake history. The private dining room boasts original apothecary pieces of the restored 19th century farmhouse, while the tasting menu features dishes like mountain rabbit ravioli with pine nut sauce, and locally-foraged pine, herbs and vegetables." - The MICHELIN Guide

We came here in May 2022 and had a marvellous lunch over the course of 3 or so hours. This place is such a hidden gem, located in a beautiful building in a small wine town. The food is very local, and they could tell us to the kilometre where their ingredients came from (usually under 10km!) We sat in front of their courtyard garden where we could see the chef collecting ingredients. One dish came with freshly grated green pinecone which added the perfect fresh taste to the meal. Will return.

Matapozuelos ain't the kind of village where you'd expect a gem like this. From Valladolid it's a 35min drive to get there and if you're a tourist there's little that would lead you this way. But La Botica in itself is absolutely worth the trip. We got a very friendly welcome and could arrange a vegetarian variation of their menu on request, despite the language barrier. It proved to be just as exquisite as the normal menu, a delicate , refined blend of seasonal and regional cuisine. I will post some pictures of what i had. There's blackpudding on one of them, but you might not guess on which one. Guide Michelin was right to grant them a star, the one guy who wrote a review saying "mostly appearances" definitely was not.

What a phenomenal restaurant! had an incredible dining experience! it was so incredible to see local products being used in such innovative ways..... mind-blowing. Well worth the detour....you should definitely go out of your way to eat there. make sure to call ahead and make a reservation as the restaurant does get full. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating and the sommelier made great wine recommendations. The chef and cooks have an incredible talent to create such delicious memorable cuisine. Vista La Botica....you will not regret it!

What chef Miguel Ángel is doing with local produce is absolutely incredible. You’ll be blown away at how he keeps the ingredients wholesome and yet inventive. The flavors are full of depth and creativity. If you’re in Valladolid you must come to La Botica, one of the best restaurants in Spain!

I found La Botica on a list of places to eat near the A-6 and was not disappointed by the recommendation. The food was delicious and in some cases served in creative and unexpected ways. However, what I especially enjoyed about the experience was the service. Victor and the other waiters who served my table were attentive and friendly and took time to explain each plate, even including the two local breads we were served to accompany an appetizer and the coffee we ordered to conclude the meal. The kind of attention to detail I experienced at La Botica is hard to come by, especially outside of Spain's biggest cities. All of these things made my meal stand out from others I've had in Spain. Highly recommend!
