Restaurants and food
The hotel also features a very elegant restaurant that has been redesigned following the tastes of Eugenia de Montijo. The restaurant´s menu offers an interesting mix of traditional manchego and toledo dishes and a fusion with international dishes.
In case you stay several days and you would like explore other options besides the hotel´s restaurant, we recommend you the vegetarian restaurant Madre Tierra, located very close to the Cathedral, and also Meson La Orza for less veggie palates.
