Espectacular lugar para comer! Comimos patatas revolconas, croquetas, chuletón, y postres varios y todo genial! La carne súper rica, si son varias personas y les interesa tener distintos punto de la carne, te cocinan por separado una parte más, eso estuvo genial. El ambiente buenísimo y el personal de 10, súper atento en todo momento.

Posiblemente uno de los más destacados restaurantes de Ávila. Un producto espectacular. Carne de primera en distintas presentaciones y tipos. Probamos 3 cortes distintos. La da vaca vieja sin duda la mejor. Tuvimos un pequeño incidente con el vino, éramos 12, pedimos 2 botellas de un ribera y al pedir otras 2 resultó que no tenían más. Un fallo de servicio que no se puede dar en un restaurante de esta categoria.

Muy buen sitio para comer carne en Ávila, un poco caro pero de una calidad excelente. Éramos 4 y pedimos dos entrantes para compartir (cecina de buey de "El Capricho" y mollejas), las dos muy buenas y de principal solomillo, T-Bone de vacuno mayor y chuletón de ternera. La carne estaba en el punto que la pedimos y tenía muy buen sabor. Tiene varios postras a muy buen precio. Tiene cortes especiales de carne como el tomahawk, el t-bone, porterhouse y chatteubriand tanto de ternera como de vacuno mayor. Nos quedamos con ganas de probar el tomahawk asi que volveremos.

Buen servicio y muy buena comida. Pedimos t-bone de ternera y estaba increíble.

Impresionante sitio y más aún así la calidad de sus vinos platos, sitio muy recomendable para ir a comer si lo que quieres es una buena carne

Muy buena comida y servicio. La dirección atenta. No teníamos reserva, era más bien tarde y tras consultar a la cocina, la encargada de sala nos dió acogida. Muy bien.

Sábado 22 de noviembre. Comida familiar por visita a la ciudad. Un restaurante estupendo con una comida fabulosa. ¿ El precio ? Pues ya es lo que quieras gastar pero asegurado que va en concordancia con la calidad y la atención del personal de sala es realmente maravillosa. Hemos de volver a Ávila alguna que otra vez y seguro que repetiremos

A Carnivore’s Pilgrimage in the Heart of Ávila If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to eat at the intersection of tradition and fire, La Lumbre Templo de Carne is a place that doesn’t just serve dinner — it demands your full attention. This isn’t dining as performance. This is honesty on a plate. Smoke in the air. Wine in the glass. No shortcuts. We arrived hungry — properly hungry — and Óscar, the man at the helm, welcomed us like people who understood why they were there. He knows his product. He trusts the fire. And he understands that great food doesn’t need explanation, just respect. The croquetas de jamón ibérico were crisp on the outside, molten and indulgent within — dangerous in the best possible way. The mollejas guisadas came deep and comforting, rich without being heavy, cooked the way these things should be cooked. Judías del Barco con chorizo were soulful and unapologetic, a reminder that humble ingredients, treated right, can outshine anything fancy. The ensalada del chef and parrillada de verduras proved the grill here shows no favoritism — everything that touches the fire gets the same care. Then came the main event: a porterhouse de vacuno mayor, thick, serious, and handled with quiet confidence. Perfect point, no drama, no tricks. Just meat, fire, and time — exactly as it should be. In the glass, Bosque de Matasnos 2021 from Ribera del Duero did exactly what a wine should do in a place like this: stand its ground. Dark fruit, structure, freshness enough to cut through the fat and smoke, and the kind of balance that keeps you reaching back for another sip between bites. A wine that understands the table it’s sitting at. Óscar moves through his kitchen like someone who knows that this isn’t about ego — it’s about tradition, patience, and getting it right. If you love real food, real fire, and a good bottle of wine in the right place, this is where you come. No nonsense. No pretension. Just fire, meat, wine — and a very good afternoon in Ávila.

My wife and I had an exceptional lunch at La Lumbre. We met the owner, who recommended the best dishes on the menu. He is passionate about the food he serves and is very focused on the quality of the products and ingredients. We had a very fresh salad to start, followed by a delicious veal steak, fried potatoes and a bottle of excellent local red wine. The steak was perfectly grilled medium-rare. I will definitely return to La Lumbre on my next visit to Avila.

Another amazing experience! The quality of the food is what we look for in a place to eat and return over and over again. We have found our go to restaurant in beautiful Ávila. Everything we had was excellent quality and prepared to mouth watering flavor. The meats are amazing, the Sopa Castellana among my favorite. The tomatoes like no other. The service five star. The atmosphere warm and inviting. We will always recommend La Lumbre "The Flame".

The food was fantastic. By far the best steak I have ever had, and my other highlight was the exquisite tomato salad. The chef (Oscar) was excellent and talked us through the meal as well as showing us the meat. The restaurant had a lovely ambience and the music was great. Highly recommend!

Nic Lawley

We went here to try the Avila Steak (Chuletón de Ávila) and I simply don't have the words to describe how great it was. The best meat/steak/anything I have ever had. The restaurant is gorgeous, mixing their love for meat, tradition and modernity. The staff were unbelievably friendly. Explaining everything carefully for us. Oscar, the chef, was funny, gracious and spoke great English! I cannot recommend this place enough. It is a destination in and of itself.

Frederico Madeira

Good service. Good meat. Alright prices. The wine list is plentiful on reds but poor on whites, and totally lacking in roses.

Martine Casselman

Delicious, very good if you like meat, only +- the wine. Estupiendo

El restaurante estaba bastante lleno, había demasiado ruido y era algo incómodo, así como un par de niños corriendo por todos lados entre las mesas, sin ningún tipo de control. El camarero nos explicó bien las diferencias entre las distintas carnes de la carta. Pedimos: - Timbal de morcilla: plato bastante generoso y buen sabor. - Croquetas: estaban bien. - Secreto iberico: tierno y buena cantidad. - Chuleta de vacuno mayor: el punto de la carne perfecto, eso si, acompañado de unas patatas súper sosas. - Tarta de queso: más que una tarta era como un flan de queso, bastante poco cremoso. Tanto es así que cogí una cucharada y no más. No nos gustó nada a ninguno. El precio nada sorprendente para ser un sitio de carnes con rebombre en Ávila, se notaba la calidad del producto principal.

One of many traditional choices in Avila core downtown. We decided giving this one a try given the high rating. Food is okay, not exceptional. Staff was helpful, especially while ordering. Nonetheless while we were finishing dinner, staff started taking the trash outside, right through the restaurant. This could have been avoidable, not a nice gesture.

Fuimos a cenar a este restaurante y la experiencia dejó bastante que desear. Pedí una hamburguesa de 19€, y por ese precio esperaba algo de calidad: un pan artesano, una carne bien trabajada, ingredientes cuidados… pero lo que me sirvieron fue una hamburguesa muy básica, con pan de supermercado, carne simple, queso y tomate. Sinceramente, era del nivel de lo que te ponen en un cumpleaños infantil o lo que puedes encontrar en un bar por 6€. La atención del personal sí fue muy buena, no tengo ninguna queja sobre eso. Pero en cuanto a la relación calidad-precio, la hamburguesa no estuvo a la altura en absoluto. No repetiría.

Decepcionante dado el precio de la comida. Cenamos parrillada de verdura (fría) bastante escasa y las verduras demasiado crudas. Además cogimos parrillada de carne la cual también estaba fría. No es loque se espera para 63€.. Por otro lado el camarero fue bastante atento y amable a pesar de la comida.

This restaurant should be avoided. I ordered a starter shrimp, which was already expensive for 20 euro. Portion wise it was ok for one person, but in the end they claimed it was 3 persons' starter so they charged us 60 euro for that. Also the waiter and waitress both kept pushing us to order 3 times from the moment we started to sit down, didn't care that we needed to read the menu. Food quality is just below average.

My fiance and I went for a 9pm dinner. Just to let you know this is my first negative review I have ever posted. To say that we were dissapointed is an understatement. We were never served water. We were eating our appetizers straight from the plate they were served in. I ordered chicharones and they were cold and not freshly made. I also ordered the veal chop which was recommended by my server. Huge letdown. TWO minutes after I ordered my veal chop it was on my table served on a super hot plate, but the chop was cold, bland and the texture of a shoe. Was it made to order? I was expecting to be wowed as this restaurant was recommended by my hotel’s concierge. I also read some reviews and it seemed to be a higher end option for meats with some good client feedback. These positive reviews are a bit fishy, or maybe they just had an off day when we visited. We were completely dissapointed. My girlfriend is a pescatarian “no meat in her diet” and she tried ordering several plates, but they were out of all of them. She had to settle with the overpriced “premium” sardines. They were not bad according to her, but definitely not worth the $20E price tag. I hope leaving this review will help others not make the same mistake that I made. I’m all about giving a second chance, but it was so bad that I wouldn’t invest my time going there for free. La Lumbre - you need to step up your game. If you aren’t 100% committed on a given day don’t open.
