The green of the Bodegas Arzuaga vineyards is already beginning to blanket our estate, while the May breeze whispers of warm days and golden-hour sunsets. We believe it’s the perfect moment to celebrate spring at the Traditional Restaurant at Bodegas Arzuaga—a place that blends the beauty of its natural surroundings with a menu rooted in the region’s rich culinary heritage. Our cuisine is all about the product, and at our restaurant everything begins with top-quality ingredients.
That’s why we’d love to suggest trying the leek pie topped with goose liver and fig and raisin sauce, a little indulgence you’ll want to enjoy again and again. And don’t miss the premium Santoña anchovies served on tomato foam and warm toasts—a dish that perfectly embodies our culinary philosophy at Traditional Restaurant: using top-quality ingredients and enhancing them just enough to let them shine.
Few things pair better with spring than the finest cured meats —and at our Traditional Restaurant, we’ve got some of the best. You can choose from León-style cured beef with foie shavings and Arzuaga olive oil from the Montes de Toledo, Joselito acorn-fed Iberian ham with tomato bread, or our selection of Iberian charcuterie. Trust us, these flavours will linger long after the last bite.
Today, we also want to revisit some of our most popular meat dishes—the ones that hit the palates and keep our most loyal diners coming back time and time again.
So let’s begin with the skewered suckling lamb roasted over vine shoots, served with a Ribera-style garden salad. A true delicacy from Valladolid that shows how simplicity can lead to perfection. Here, the star is the outstanding quality of the suckling lamb, seasoned only with salt and slowly roasted over vine shoots. Nothing more, nothing less —enjoy a pure and authentic flavour, deeply connected to the traditions of the Ribera del Duero.
And if you’re into grills, you can’t leave without trying our ox ribeye steak with chips —a dish that elevates the quality of our meat, the real hero of our grill menu. Naturally, if you want to truly experience the essence of Valladolid’s cuisine, you must try the wood-fired roast suckling lamb, a dish that best captures the gastronomic soul of our region.
First-class meat, a traditional wood-fired oven, and a master roaster who knows just how to handle both flame and timing. Once more, simplicity at its finest.
So come and visit us at Bodegas Arzuaga and discover the full menu at our Traditional Restaurant.
