  • 1. Atrio Restaurante Hotel

    $$$$

    This jaw-droppingly elegant award-winning restaurant and hotel, housed in a medieval building redesigned by star architect Mansilla + Tuñón, is the crown jewel of Extremaduran hospitality. The ground-floor restaurant specializes in refined contemporary cooking, and the menu changes according to what's in season in chef Toño Pérez's private garden. Venison, partridge, Iberian pork, wild mushrooms, and truffles are recurrent themes. The round wine cellar in the basement is an architectural marvel with a backlit Château d'Yquem "temple" that was the site of a 2021 heist that made international news (the culprits who stole some $2 million in wine remain elusive). There are 14 drool-worthy high-design hotel rooms above the restaurant as well as a rooftop pool; 11 suites were added in 2020 to the tune of €2.6 million with an even costlier expansion—into the 16th-century Casa Palacio Paredes Saavedra across the square—just this year.

  • 2. El 7 de Sillerías

    $$$

    Locals will point you here for fresh, reasonably priced tapas and mains including croquetas (try the wild mushroom rendition) and secreto ibérico (seared Iberian pork shoulder steak). The weekday lunch menú del día—three courses plus wine—is a steal.

  • 3. El Puchero de la Nieta

    $

  • 4. La Cabaña

    $

    This homey, sun-drenched restaurant serves honest Extremaduran fare at an excellent price.

There is outdoor seating available.

  • 6. Alberca Asador

    $$$

    Alberca's two-story stone dining room boasts a comfortable minimalist design and a fire-focused menu. Most dishes get some time on the grill, even the local goat cheese with ash and apple. The oxtail croquettes are truly exceptional as well, whether you find them in the tasting menu or order a-la-carte. And the grilled, smoky take on the torrija, a rich Spanish-style French toast, is beyond memorable.

  • 9. El Fogón de Mi Madre

    $$

    This well-priced restaurant, with tablecloths and fresh flowers on every table, serves attractively presented international fare: you'll find steak frites made with Extremaduran beef, but there are also dishes like teriyaki-glazed duck and tuna carpaccio with avocado—played-out gastronomical relics from the aughts that we begrudgingly admit to missing.

    68-664--1712

    Known For

    • Unexpectedly varied cuisine
    • Cheerful ambience
    • Excellent risotto
  • 10. La Cacharrería

    $

    You may have to ring a bell and stand around aimlessly outside to be seated, but once settled in at your high-top table in the quirky but pleasant dining room, it's smooth sailing. The slow-cooked pork cheeks are a must, along with gelatinous pig snout pie if you're feeling adventurous.

  • 12. Restaurante Bizcocho Plaza

    $$

    A Trujillo institution conveniently located on the Plaza Mayor, Bizcocho specializes in Extramaduran cuisine—think local jamón, cheese, and migas—and the stone-and-tile dining room is cozy and cool even in the summer. Reservations are essential on holiday weekends. The prime location means menu prices are a tad higher than usual.

    92-732--2017

    Known For

    • Central location
    • Excellent Iberian pork dishes

  • 13. Gonzalo Valverde

    $$$$
    Closed Permanently

    This kitchen turns out traditional Extremeño classics executed with a modern (if slightly precious) flair such as Iberian pork mousse-filled spring rolls and roast venison loin. The prix-fixe menu del día is a fine value at €30. You can sit in the soaring dining room, reminiscent of an antique wine cellar, or outside on the wood-awning-covered terrace with views of the river.

  • 14. Restaurante Típico Valle del Jerte

    The service is always cheerful at this small family-run restaurant in a cozy stone house just off the N110 in the village of Jerte. There's a tapas bar and a dining room out back. House specialties include gazpacho, cabrito (suckling goat), and local trout from the Jerte River. The homemade, regional desserts are outstanding, with many featuring the Jerte Valley's famed cherries. Ask to see the centuries-old wine cellar.
