Casa Juanico

Casa Juanico is in the historic centre of the city, it’s a restaurant which offers creative food and from the market. Good value for money.

A friend recommended it to me and I went one evening after visiting the House of Infanzón Jerónimo Cósida, the site of the Camón Aznar Museum which is only a few steps away.

It’s a very small place, at the entrance there is a bar with a good selection of tapas and inside a room with tables. What you notice are the tapas, very creative and with names like: monkeys’ brains, little fingers with jam, zucchini with squid, loquat stuffed with blue cheese, and of course, the famous “jamón con chorreras”, the star tapa of the place. This comprises of hard-boiled egg, wrapped in boiled ham, béchamel sauce and fried with batter. You can find meats and fish for more formal meals with high quality products, as well as good wines.

This bar is centrally located. It has some excellent tapas. The specialty, which is highly recommended, is the ham with frills, but don't miss the goat cheese.
