Katuzarra in PamplonaI’m walking now with my daughter from Roncesvalles celebrating our birthdays and I’m finding places with really good local food in El Camino.
I want to mention cafe Ttipia in SJPDP
Hotel Roncesvalles in Roncesvalles
Bar Valentin in Zubiri
Any other places in Navarra we should visit for dinner?
In Logrono is the Calle Laurel (Laurel street), famous for the many tapas/wine bars/restaurants.I’m walking now with my daughter from Roncesvalles celebrating our birthdays and I’m finding places with really good local food in El Camino.

When you get to Pamplona and to Logrono, look for spots that are Michelin recommended (even if they are not starred)... also: follow the locals.
Price points on the upper end will still be far below anything you are used to from your area in the US.
When you reach Santiago. do not miss out on O Seindero -- it's just astonishingly lovely. And if you like seafood, eat at the Abastos market in Santiago.
All the joints in the main square in Astorga are "as you would expect" -- BUT --
You can get a very elegant *suite* for a fraction of the cost of anything similar at home and they have a fantastic buffet breakfast, and right across the way, beside the archeology museum for Roman culture, there's a lovely little restaurant (though the name escapes me now).
Have a fantastic journey!
[Thanks to whichever moderator corrected the autocorrect mangling of "Abastos" into "asbestos" --- that's as bad as "allergies" into "allergies".]
I agree the pilgrims menu is something sad to see when includes just a pasta. Why not use the traditional local food and replace it with something you could eat wherever?Does anyone know why the “menu Peregrino” persists. Is it ignorance or penitence?
That said there are several meson listed above that I would most definitely not recommend.
It’s hard enough getting a table already.
Hi Rebekah! Thanks for sharing your favs.Los Palmeros in Fromista.
El Natural in Carrion de los Condes.
El Castillo de Moratinos in Moratinos.
La Curiosa in Mansilla de las Mulas.
This is awesome Cuttooth and I would like to share it outside this community if you don’t mind. I promise to give you the credit. ;-) thanks a lot.I have walked the Camino Frances a few times and will be leading a group of my dad's friends this September. Many of them inquired about the food, and I was glad I had been compiling a list of places we enjoyed along the route, along with recommendations from other pilgrims.

EDIT: Turns out, some of the places we ate at were on the Michelin list, so I added a few more of their picks and labeled them accordingly.
I should have gone to La Cepa en Estella but I changed last minute to BiEnara, a mix of Navarra and PanAsian food. It was OK, but not good.Katuzarra in Pamplona

I’m working in an app to support the local makers of food, wine and crafts. I’ll let you know as soon as is ready for download. I would love to hear from someone that cares about the local community. Thanks a lot!In between, there are so many albergues making communal dinners, as best they can, and often very good. Support the locals, make new friends, and have a splendid time.

At a guess… there are a few motivations (in no order):I agree the pilgrims menu is something sad to see when includes just a pasta. Why not use the traditional local food and replace it with something you could eat wherever?

Oh Jenny what have you done? It’s getting harder and harder to get a table and a meal along the camino, sorry, THE CAMINO, without the impact of the the hordes getting informedIn Burgos I can highly recommend Casa Pancho at Calle San Lorenzo 13, 15. It was founded in 1958 and it serves a fantastic array of both local dishes - eg Burgos lamb - and food offerings from further afield. They have the Tapas Bar side and a casual restaurant side.
On my last two visits to Burgos I made sure to have a meal there - the grilled mushrooms starter and lamb cutlets main course were celestial! There’s a terrific wine list too. Such happy memories of Casa Pancho!
Cheers from Oz -
Jenny
