El Caballo de Troya

Valladolid


The 'Trojan Horse' is a Valladolid treat. The restaurant, set around a stunning, Renaissance-style courtyard, is as sophisticated in flavours as the dining room is classy in design – try the solomillo con roquefort (sirloin with Roquefort cheese). The taberna (tavern) downstairs also has brilliant raciones. Reservations are recommended for the restaurant, especially at weekends.
