Restaurante La Orza

Some of the best Rabo de Toro you'll ever have! Delicious, would have appreciated a bit of a larger portion, but it was amazing. I docked 1 star as their online reservation system was difficult to use. I put in my credit card to secure the reservation but their system wasn't authorizing anything so I couldn't tell, did we have a reservation/ did we not?? Went over to the restaurant and they said no availability inside (online said they had some options) but we could sit on the terrace if we wanted. That worked well for us, it was a beautiful night and our waiter was so fun! The house marzipan - yum ♥️

Fantastic tasting buds experience! If you're really hungry (hard to imagine at 36°C at 8:30pm), this is not a place for you, as the portions are relatively small. Otherwise, each meal was fantastic. Apple (!) gazpacho/ raspberry (!) salmorejo with celery (!) ice-cream was tiny and a piece of art. Partridge, venison, pig cheeks, aged beef were all top notch (beef was a relatively big portion). Ponche Toledano, a layered mazapan cake with gold decoration was a hit, we just had to encore it for everyone. Mazapan is translated as Marzipan on the English menu, but is different from caramelized fruits in Italy (or, say, Seville): mazapan is an almond paste cake or cookie in Toledo. For wine, we had Panofino, the house Tempranillo, and it was superb (and a steal). Going to have another La Orza dinner tomorrow.

We visited Toledo, Spain on May 5th, 2025, and had lunch at Restaurante La Orza. The restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner just a few minutes from Mirador de Toledo, a fantastic viewpoint for capturing the city’s beauty. We arrived about 30 minutes before opening, but the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. They offered us water and even invited us in to charge our phones while we waited—such thoughtful hospitality! We ordered Lomo de Orza, Fideuá y vieiras, Cochinillo, and Delicias de Mazapán. Every dish was excellent, but the standout for us was the Lomo de Orza, which we were told was made with deer meat. The dish had deep, layered flavors that made it our favorite of the meal—truly memorable. Overall, we were very impressed. Restaurante La Orza is a must-visit when in Toledo. Highly recommended!

June 27, 2025. Must visit this restaurant when visiting Toledo. Tried five different appetizers including artichoke w/ octopus, apple gazpacho, potato salad, tomato salad, cured pork with aged cheese ice cream -- all amazing! The venison entree blew us away! The pig cheek stew and suckling pig were also excellent. We liked the food so much that we ordered "one of everything" from the dessert menu. Yummy!

Beautiful and charming place in the old city. Food and service was exquisite. Can only recommend

Very pleasant Michelin star surprise in Toledo. Excellent service, great food, reasonable prices - the sunny weather and some wine made it amazing experience :)

Gorgeous presentation! We were really excited to come here. The staff was ok, not very friendly. The food was simple in flavor - clean, basic ingredients. The eggplant appetizer was a crowd favorite. I ordered the Hake and thought it was good. The star for me was the desert. I had the strawberry cream and it was AMAZING.😍😍😍 I also really appreciated the menu easily identified all the allergens.

During our day trip to Toledo last year, we had the pleasure of dining at Restaurante La Orza, and it was an unforgettable experience. We sat outside on a sunny November day, which was perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We ordered the Solomillo de Vaca and the Rape con habitas y arroz negro, both of which were exceptional. The highlight of the meal was the unique tomato sorbet with ice cream for dessert—an incredible and unforgettable combination that we haven’t found anywhere else since. The local beer was also a great touch. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Toledo. It’s a must-visit spot that combines amazing food with a great atmosphere!
