Restaurants in Spain
 

I am re-posting this message. I am leaving for Spain tomorrow and wanted good restaurants that are not so expensive. Now not so expensive to me is 15 dollars or cheaper for a entree. I am looking for restaurants in Seville, Cordoba, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Monserrat, Segovia, and Toleda.

Just returned from Barcelona last week. I would highly recommend a restaurant just around the corner from the Hotel Majestic. I can't remember the exact name (I think it had "de la Rosa" in it), but it is on the corner of Carrer d'Arago and Carrer de Pau Claris, one block off the Passeig de Gracia. The concierge at Hotel Majestic recommended it, and it was fantastic, especially considerating the price ($4-$5 for small plates, $8-$15 for large plates). Get there early (by Spain standards) as they fill up by 9:30 and don't take reservations.

In Segovia I recommend Meson del Duque. It may be a bit outside your price range but it's a once in a lifetime thing: Roast suckling pig or lamb (Cochinillo or Corderito asado), a huge salad and some Rioja Reserva.

In Barcelona a cousin took me to a vegetarian Cafeteria-style restaurant called Fresco (for lunch). It was very economical and very crowded.

Jewell,
congratulations! you didn't mention the proposal in your first post, so i'm going to add another very romantic (though not cheap,but not real expensive) restaurant that is excellent--el cabrello rojo in cordoba.

Hope people have more suggestions coming for other places too. We stayed at The Cardenal Hostal in Toledo (which is incredibly romantic and moderately priced) and there's a restaurant there, but while it's romanatic, I didn't think it was great (just good, and expensive.)

oh... and thanks, jjbhoy, for your kind remarks, on that "other" thread (which I choose not to "top")...
