Cueva de San Esteban

Segovia


All the usual Segovia dishes are here, but it's also a good place to try the cocido (meat and chickpea stew) that's so typical of inland Spain. On Thursday lunchtimes, the three-course cocido completo (€10) is Segovia's best bargain. Extensive wine lists are also a feature here.
