Restaurante La Orza

Michelin-Quality food and experience that truly exhibits the greatness of the local, La Manchan cuisine. --- I visited for a 13:30 lunch with my wife as we were exploring Toledo for the day. I was excited to eat at a nice restaurant, and was especially excited that their focus was on food from La Mancha. The greeter was extremely friendly, and both he and the other server provided great service and were very accommodating throughout the day. My wife and I ordered on appetizer to share and then each got our own main plate. We also ordered a bottle of the house red for only 18 euros. For the main plates, we went with the recommendations of our server - the grilled tuna and the venison, while for the appetizer we went with the Lomo de Orza. The Tempranillo, especially bottled for the restaurant, was phenomenal - bold yet very well balanced. I have paid three times as much for bottles and wished they were the quality of this wine. The bread served to us was also firm on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. The Lomo de Orza featured very fresh cuts of ham and was paired with a smooth, balanced dollop of ice cream. This especially pairs well with a light red wine, and was a great way to start the meal. Our main dishes were also spectacular. The venison my wife got was cooked to absolute perfection and was perhaps the best cooked I had in my life - it was simple, moist and rich with flavor without being overwhelming. My grilled tuna was also very delicious, and a must order for appreciators of tuna. Paired with thin, grilled vegetables and a light sauce was relatively simple yet again extremely well prepared. Both the presentation and the taste reminded me of a high quality sushi roll - cut into bite size pieces that are extremely easy to eat and intake the flavor. My policy is that if I am enamored with the meal, I am require myself to try their desserts. Today was no exception, and we ordered both their modern take on mazapan and the chocolate dessert. Again, both were well executed and delicious, although snot the best part of the experience. I cannot iterate enough how amazing my experience here was, and I would highly recommend to both locals looking for a great, relaxed, elevated experience or visitors looking to experience local cuisine in a low-frills but well presented manner. I would be more than happy to dine here again.

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!

Maravaillosa. The service could not have been better; my Spanish is terrible but, even though they speak English, they stuck with me when I made it clear that I was going to try to use Spanish). The food was terrific; of particular note was the artichoke, squid and trout roe appetizer pictured below. It was as delicious as it was beautiful to look at.

Food was okay, ambiance was cozy and a little more traditional, service was friendly. For dessert get the cheesecake

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.

As many have said, a well deserved Michelin table. The filet and the cod were beautiful and excellently prepared and plated, but the real show stopper was the Thyme sorbet… I will dream of this for some time to come. Do not miss this fine dining spot!

A gastronomic meal. A true delight of a meal. From beginning to end there is one surprise after another and each bite is better than the last. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere quaint and charming and the owner Lionel was extremely kind, helpful and welcoming. Can not say enough great things about this well deserved Michelin restaurant. You are loosing out on a great dining experience if you do not come here. The wine list also was excellent and well priced. Thank you to the staff, chefs and all for a meal we will not forget.

You get top-quality food for a medium price - absolutely worth a visits. Staff is friendly, but hard to communicate in English. The size of the courses are pretty big considering it being a Michelin-restaurant. 100% recommend this for visitors, a great experience!
