Worth a visit!
The Nueva Taberna Plaza Mayor restaurant reopened its doors in March 2011 with a completely renovated image and very modern facilities.
The bar is located on the ground floor and has a very modern decor with 8 or 10 tables along the bar, towards the back is a staircase leading to the first floor, which has been moved and now on the upper floor there is no longer the roof space that acted as a terrace from which you could see the floor below.
It has kept the glass windows that represent the Palencia agricultural and livestock calendar, and of the rest nothing remains, being that everything is brand new: tiles, chairs, tables, crockery, cutlery, tablecloths ... even the menu is new.
The good news is that they have retained our special menu that we like so much. They have now raised the prices a bit: it is 23 euros per person and is totally worth it.
The menu includes for starters tasting of different dishes:
- Assortment of Iberian pig starters with: a plate of Iberian ham, a plate of Iberian pork and a dish with Iberian chorizo, Iberian Saucisson and Palencia Cerrato cheese.
- Warm escabeche salad (new)
- Cod Carpaccio with open tomato sandwiches (this is also new; it wasn’t on the menu before).
- Fried calamari.
- Grilled red king prawns (There was king prawns and prawns before, but not in the salad or cod Carpaccio).
Then everyone chooses their preference for the main course, among which were: roast suckling pig (special that day), grilled entrecote, grilled baby lamb chops, Milanese chicken cordon bleu, house special scallops and fish, which that particular day were: turbot, sea bass and gilt-head bream.
The desserts are entirely homemade and this time there was a choice: chocolate cake, cheesecake, pudding, crème caramel, rice pudding or fruit. Also on the menu, was coffee, drinks and bread.
Personally, I think few restaurants in Palencia offer this amount of food for just 23 euros. Also, being that it has recently opened, I think it’s worth a visit!
