The Restaurant at the Hotel San Anton Abad in Villafranca Montes de Oca (Ok, they offer Albergue, too).
Parrillada Xacobeo in Triacastela (classical patio style)
L'Incontro in SdC (IMHO the best Italian in SdC)

Santiago de Compostela.
Hostal Suso.

Breakfast : Tertulia.

Tertulia - Santiago de Compostela, C

4 reviews and 9 photos of Tertulia "This beautiful, cost cafe has you covered from coffee to some light bites and an escape from the traditional cafe in Santiago. The prices are reasonable with staff that make you feel at home. Grab a seat, enjoy their larger than normal cafe con leche, and take...

Tapas/ Pintxos : Bispo.
Try to find a place at the bar, much nicer, imo, than the restaurant part.

A Taberna do Bispo

Instead of perusing a menu at this well-lighted spot in Santiago de Compostela, point at what you want from the long bar where the tapas are laid out for the day. Offerings include fresh razor clams, stuffed squid, and glistening sheets of marbled Ibérico ham, in addition to fried peppers.…

Burgos, Casa Pancho - Calle San Lorenzo, 13, 15, not far from the Cathedral in small side street. Founded 1958, authentic local cuisine at good prices and here's the thing - the locals eat there!
Very friendly and helpful - lovely wines too.

My wife and I like to treat ourselves once we arrive in Villafranca del Bierzo. We stay at La Puerta del Perdon. Only 5 rooms of so but what a delight and reasonably priced. They also have a restaurant on the first floor but we have never ate there.

 

[Kev&Kath]

Another shout-out for Villafranca del Bierzo...and restaurant Meson los Ancares. Just superb food, and our host (Signor Gambino)...well what can I say (I think the pic says it all)...just and amazing welcome and hospitality.

[JimDerry]

Oh, for sure spend an evening on Calle Laurel, Logrono.
Also, we loved eating at the Hosteria de los Palmeros in Fromista. Castilian dinner worth the price. Fromista, the town...not so much!
In Villafranca del Bierzo, the Hotel Las Donas del Portazgo was a very well run small hotel with the best beds on the Camino. And, of course, Paradors are very special.
In Ventosa, the Hotel rural Las Aquedas is a restored 18th century home and she will make you paella if she knows your coming!
I could go on but only one more! Hotel Real Monasterio San Zoilo in Carrion de los Condes is great spot for sleeping and eating! Leg of lamb, umm. Converted convent is very cool!

I agree. And don't stay somewhere with a curfew or plan a long walk for the following day.

I enjoyed staying at the Meson del Cid across from the cathedral in Burgos. Make sure you ask for a room with a view of the cathedral.

Casa Triacastela in, surprisingly, Triacastela. A lovely apartment fine for up to 4 people and very well equipped kitchen, very nicely decorated. And the people were very helpful. A great place to recover if you're struggling and you can share the quite reasonable price.
The Hotel Restaurant Xaneiro in Melide is has rooms at a very reasonable price, even if it is dated. And the people, again, were very nice. The very kind older lady there walked us down the street to the laundromat to make sure we found it.
Nice change from all the albergues that we stayed in otherwise, though I wouldn't do anything differently. Well, maybe not getting barked at by the sergeant-major at Casa Del Cubo Y De Los Lerma in Burgos.

Hi David! glad you had a great time; they were not so accommodating with me
Only place Hotel or any other form of lodging that i have ever booked that told me to go somewhere else!
As it was not a suitable place for a sight impaired person; and no one would be available to help me at reception.

 

[DuncanG]

The Hostel Quartier León Jabalquinto not far from the cathedral is really worth it for a bit extra money. The bunk beds are wonderful, it’s a beautiful old building with areas to relax, great washrooms and well stocked kitchen/eating area, good breakfast included. We found the staff to be exceptional as well. It is open to anyone so reservations recommended.

 

[CWBuff]

Said it before will say it again (over and over and over I keep going over the food I knew.... hmmm. could be a song... )
El Chiringuito del Camino in Frómista! The BEST Darn Iberian Ribs on the whole walk (just look at the photos on TripAdvisor!!!!!!)
