Casa Juan

Extremadura


Tucked down a quiet old-town lane, welcoming Casa Juan does well-prepared extremeño meat dishes (such as roast suckling pig) plus some tasty vegetarian and gluten-free bites. Start with locally made olive oil and bread, then try the homemade Torta del Casar gratin or the expertly hung local retinto beef. Fairly priced wines from around Spain seal an excellent deal.
