Restaurante Gran Duque

We were travelling as a family of 3 adults and this was recommended to us by our hotel. Couldn't be more pleased with our choice. The food was good, the portions were quite large, and the service was great. Don't normally recommend too many restaurants, but this was one of the better meals we had in nothern Spain.

This is a very traditional family style restaurant with a small seating capacity of about 10 groups at a time. It is highly recommended to make a table reservation if you want to dine here. The waiter was very friendly and explained everything about the menu to us in detail. We ordered the menu of the day, which consisted of a starter, a main course and dessert. They also offer complimentary bread and drinks if you order the menu of the day. For starters we chose the Seafood Soup and Sailor's Risotto, and for mains we chose the Stewed Wild Boar Cheeks and Entrecôte. All of the dishes were delicious and full of flavor without being overly salty. The price was 28 EUR per person. It is very rare to find a restaurant in a small town that offers this quality of food. It's a great way to innovate on tradition without losing interest in the dishes.

Great family owned restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and amazing service. Delicious food and huge portions. We came back the very next day for more.

The food was one of our best meals in nothern Spain. We tried very traditional local fare. The quality and preparation was excellent. The service and attention was great and the ambience and atmosphere was also superb. Highly recommend it.

Amazing food and amazing service. A little pricier than the restaurants next door but the food was so good definitely worth the price. Set menu comes with 3 courses, wine and bread. The seafood soup is mind blowing and the wile boar cheek is tender and delicious! Definitely something to visit again.

Great place to eat in Santillana. Not easy to find a table if you do not have a reservation. Go for the set Menu, it has great options and includes dessert and wine. I recommend the seafood eggplant and the “ carrilleras”

Amazing food! Menu del día only cost 19€ and it includes drink, starter, main course and dessert. I ordered sopa de pescado y entrecot. They are all delicious. Homemade quesada is good too. Definitely recommend to everyone

Great service, great food, great quality, the menu is 25 euros and it is great but the octopus 🐙 was fantastic a real must, the entrecot 🥩 was amazing. The wines and beer could improve.
