Los Rastrojos - Aranda de Duero

This restaurant is in a hotel we chose at random for an overnight stop on our way from western france to Marbella. What a lucky choice...despite there being a wedding on the restaurant staff made us feel very welcome in the dining room. We were treated like royalty, and although we struggled with the Spanish and they struggled with the English we managed to have a great laugh and get some food. And what food! The chef David Izquierdo Calvo is a chef with a great sense of humour and an even greater talent for cooking. We ate the most mouthwatering 'amuses bouches ' while waiting for our meal proposed by David. I have never eaten so well anywhere so far. Not at all pretentious, simple local food brilliantly cooked and served, with wines I didn 't know Spain could produce. All in all an amazing experience. We will definitely go back there and maybe this time not en route for somewhere else. Not too far from Madrid so chance to discover new restaurants there too.

We have an excellent attention and chef advices of fresh regional dishes combined with a modern touch, excellent night with a good Ribera del Duero wine

We specially chose to stay in the hotel next to this restaurant as we wanted to go there for a special Sunday lunch. When we called in the day before, there was a wedding going on and another group in one of the rooms. We were told that they only take groups now. What a pity it looked really good.

Buena ubicación cerca de Aranda, la cama un poco vieja y las almohadas muy blandas.

El hotel se encuentra muy cerca de Aranda y es muy tranquilo, la persona que nos recibió muy amable. Por poner una pega le hubiese faltado un barrido y fregado a la habitación. El desayuno caro para la variedad que tenia. Volvería pero sin desayuno.
