What customers say?

“ Fantastic experience! Food is amazing, on beautifully prepared plates. Service was perfect, even after my telephonic stumble in Spanish. Interestingly located in an old bus station, where te busses make up the decor. Expect to pay around 60-70 euros for primero, main course, postres and drinks. ”

“ Parada de la Reina is literally at the bus station in Plasencia and the food served is incredibly delicious. I arrived shortly before 16h / 4 p.m. and was very grateful that the team would let me still order the menu del día (lunch menu). The dining room was full of mostly locals from the looks of it enjoying their midday meals. The lunch menu at La Parada de la Reina from the quality of the food and the price (€20 for a three course meal) were clear indicators that I’d gladly return. My meal began first with a bread service - light fluffy dough inside surrounded by flaky crust and served with olive oil. Next came the starter - a cream of red beet soup with shrimp tartar. The red beet soup was extremely refreshing on a hot summer day. As for the main, cuttlefish in its ink and with a mushroom sauce was delicious and the sauce was so good that I asked for more bread to use to eat all of the sauce. And lastly, for dessert I chose the torrija (imagine French toast) with and apple crumble that was out of this world! A delightful meal and at excellent price in a space filled with natural light. Highly recommend!! ”
