Tabula Calda

We came to this restaurant in Merida looking for a place to experience real Extremedura food. A local couple runs it, cooks and serves. They were very funny people. We even had a chat about Turkish TV series :) I would like to go to Merida again and try other dishes from the rich menu in this restaurant where we felt at home. Everything was delicious and the plates were really big. Besides the food, I don’t know what it was called, but I ate orange salad with olive oil for the first time in my life and it was amazing. Thank you very much.

Very authentic. Big portions and veryy good food with local vegetables. Prices is lower than in the same places in Merida. Service is a bit cold but in general everything is perfect. I could definitely recommend it

Super food good value, carefully prepared. Garlic soup, Paprika potato’s, Sholder of lamb and lamb stew. Plus orange salad. All from within 100km

Lovely restaurant. The food was excellent and very friendly and helpful service. There are several different menu options and we chose the local specialities. The portions were huge and the food was perfectly seasoned. I would happily go back.

We found this place by accident and so enjoyed the first lunch that we went back another day. We ate the Menú del Día. The food is straightforward good local cuisine, nicely served. We ate in the dining room: old-fashioned and charming. The service was formal, polite, and helpful. In addition to el menú there is a more extensive carta, and a more sophisticated and more expensive menú which we did not try.

The waiter helped us with our choices. Basically that we were getting traditional local cuisine. The entree cheese platter and cured meats was superb. The Iberian pork was the best pork I’ve eaten. The slow cooked lamb shoulder was good but a bit plain. I would happily go back to this restaurant to explore the rest of the menu

Super place to experience traditional and delicious home cooked food. The restaurant is full of charm. Very warm and friendly welcome and attentive service. We had the Migas and the lamb shoulder absolutely delicious.

You have to go here if you are in Merida. This restaurant is so welcoming and the food was wonderful. They gave us a salad made of fresh oranges and grapes to start, on the house. My wife and I then had a starter of fresh mushrooms, fresh asparagus and melted cheese. It was simply delicious. My wife had the lamb chops and I had the lamb asado. Tender and perfectly cooked - it was wonderful. For desert I had the flan and my wife had the home made ice cream. The staff are amazing and the owner is a sweet soul. He found out we were from Canada and he put on a Canadian new world singer for us to listen to over dinner. How thoughtful. Our hotel told us about this restaurant and we would come back here time and time again. As we left everyone came out of the kitchen to bid us farewell. WOW.
