La Fuencisla

San Mateo 4 Cuisines: Spanish

About

Near El Museo Romántico is this small but comfortable restaurant that for nearly half a century has been serving meals in the traditional Spanish style. A family business, La Fuencisla (named as an offering to the Virgin of Segovia) is run by Señor and Señora de Frutos. Señor de Frutos greets the visitors in the front while the Señora creates tasty homemade meals in the kitchen. The dishes are typical of the Segovian kitchen, and ingredients are prepared according to time-tested recipes. No dish is more typical than the grilled chops of milk-fed lamb, praised by gastronomes. Begin with fresh asparagus in country butter and aromatic garlic or savory mussels in a marinara sauce. Filet of tuna freshly baked in the oven is another pleaser. For desserts, the cooks always prepare homemade tarts, which are especially good when the fresh fruit comes in. Otherwise, you might opt for the rice pudding or flan de coco (coconut pudding).
