Sybarit Gastroshop l Restaurante Mérida

Our waitress, Atella (Jan 24)was simply fantastic! Jesus at Our hotel recommended the restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The selection was excellent and when I asked what her favorites were we had to try them… yum! Would highly recommend this restaurant. It was a short walk from the Plaza de Espana and worth the walk. The amazing thing is they served food before 8, so hard to find in Spain

Great first meal in Merida. Tuna, croquetas , prawns and ravioli in a mushroom sauce. Apart from the ham croquettas the food was outstanding. The ravioli and prawns (lightly battered in a squid ink concoction were absolutely delicious . The fact that they resisted the temptation to add truffle flavouring to the mushrooms was a welcome relief and the taste of the mushrooms stood out. Well worth a visit

Generous portions of good food with friendly service. Inside looked good but as we gave a dachsy we had to sit outside - normal for inland Spain! Tuna and lamb chops were good.

We arrived too late for lunch service at the Parador de Merida, so we strolled around and found this cool place. Had a casual feel but nicely appointed with an attentive young staff (having a little Spanish or Google Translate will help). It was busy but we were seated immediately. I ordered smoked sardines with onions and olive oil, and my wife had a green salad with tuna and a really great creamy avocado-based dressing. We also ordered a tapas plate of fried pork belly, cut in thick chunks, with thick cut fresh fried potato chips. Super yum! Really nice staff that made us feel welcome.

Absolutely fabulous food in this delightful restaurant. The Tuna Tataki was incredible. We also had the smoked sardines and then Stewed Pork Cheeks. Everything was delicious and well worth the money. Added to this our waiter was so friendly and helpful and finally the wine was delicious.

Had an amazing time with my friends. Enjoyed fresh and delicious tapas, wine and beers. Highly recommend for a night out. Can’t show you the dishes since they didn’t last long enough to be photographed lol.

Absolutely gorgeous food in a wonderful location. Very cozy interior and helpful staff.

We came for lunch and they were full. Made reservations for dinner. If you want to go here, you should reserve!! It is quite popular. We started with Croquettes mixed. Four were cuttlefish and cream bread mix. Excellent. Super creamy and moist on inside. Five pieces were ham and cheese bread mix. Also very good. Tasted like a scallop potato. Both melted in your mouth. The second appetizer was Seared tuna. It was so good we dove in and forgot to photograph. They were perfectly seared with pepper crust and the twist was that it was also slightly marinated in a beef broth. Extra salty but good. Topped with a flavorless avocado but it added a neat splash of color to the darkish tuna slices. Generous portion. For dinner I had a Cuttlefish served like fajitas with hummus in base of the veggies. The Cuttlefish body is unstuffed and grilled. It was slightly chewy as it should be. The best part were the grilled crispy tentacles. Wish there had been more. My husband had Lamb chops w a scallop potato. Lamb was medium rare as it should be but a little too rare for me. Perfect for him. Had all this w a bottle of Duero. Perfect dinner.
