Muy buen sitio para comer. Excelente relación calidad precio. Y situado en un sitio peculiar y original que me ha gustado. Algún plato (corvina salvaje y bonito escabechado) deberían de afinarse un poco más en mi opinión, aunque son totalmente correctos. El resto todo está muy muy bueno. Totalmente recomendable.

Una agradable experiencia de muchos sabores a buen precio. Menú degustación de 49 euros sin incluir pan ni bebidas. Buen precio para la variedad de platos que era y buena cantidad en algunos. Repetiremos seguro.

Probamos el menú mercado y también el steak, la verdad que todo espectacular. Los platos salían a tiempo, explicaban los platos, el servicio muy amable y atento. Además la cantidad y calidad era más que correcta, no podíamos comer más. Repetiré siempre que vuelva a Salamanca. Especialmente recomendable el steak.

Lo vivido en El Pecado no es simplemente una comida: es una declaración de intenciones gastronómica. Su menú degustación “Salamanca”, compuesto por 9 pases, es un ejercicio de precisión, identidad y valentía culinaria que roza lo memorable. Cada plato llega a mesa con un discurso claro: producto impecable, técnica afinada y una lectura contemporánea —sin artificios innecesarios— de la tradición salmantina. No hay fuegos artificiales vacíos; hay conocimiento, respeto por el origen y una ambición bien ejecutada. Se nota cuándo una cocina sabe exactamente lo que quiere contar. El ritmo del menú es perfecto: ni precipitado ni pesado. Los pases dialogan entre sí, construyendo una progresión lógica y emocionante, donde sabores intensos se equilibran con momentos de sutileza y elegancia. Texturas trabajadas, puntos de cocción quirúrgicos y una armonía general que demuestra oficio y criterio. Mención especial merece el servicio: atento, sobrio y profesional, con explicaciones precisas y sin exceso de protagonismo. Acompañan la experiencia con inteligencia, dejando que el verdadero foco esté en el plato. El ambiente del restaurante refuerza esa sensación de estar ante algo especial: íntimo, cuidado y con personalidad propia. En definitiva, El Pecado ofrece mucho más que un menú degustación: ofrece una experiencia gastronómica de alto nivel, honesta y ambiciosa, que sitúa a Salamanca en el mapa de quienes entienden la cocina como un arte serio. Un espectáculo culinario que se recuerda y, sobre todo, al que se quiere volver. Altamente recomendable.

Hemos ido mi pareja y yo un martes a mediodía. Hemos pedido el menú mercado: seis pases, uno de ellos un postre. Todos los platos han sido una delicia y nos han sorprendido. Desde el snack, con guiño a productos clásicos, a los platos. No soy capaz de poner ninguno sobre los demás, todos nos han encantado. Han salido a buen ritmo y el servicio ha sido inmejorable, contándonos detalle de técnicas y alimentos muy interesantes para conocer mejor Salamanca. Todo ha estado perfecto. Ojalá hubiera más restaurantes así en mi ciudad.

Traditional and historical tapas and restaurant in the Plaza. Very good place to have a drink and eating.

Great tapas for breakfast/ early lunch. Try different types of tortilla de patatas with and without toppings, we loved the one with pollo asado,bacon and cheese, the one with fake angula is also very good. Just be ready to have some spanish because no one speaks english at the bar. Great place to eat if you are in a rush.

Santinator

Great atmosphere, staff is friendly, and food is great. I recommend you do the lunch special. It included 1st plate, 2nd plate, dessert and a drink for 18-20 euros. I also recommend the dessert mousse de limón.

Richard Agoncillo

Like a diamond in the heart of Plaza Mayor, Meson Cervantes is an excellent find. Fantastic tapas con beber! You won’t regret visiting this place!

The menu del día was so worth it, one of the best I’ve had in Spain. 1st plate was Paella mixta with chicken and shrimps, hard boiled egg and it was flavourful. The serving was very generous. The second plate was cochifrito, or cochinillo fried/ how can anything be better than this? Thin crispy skin, meat so tender and full of flavour. The most delicious cochinillo I’ve had, the flavour permeated throughout the meat. It went with fried potatoes, and a simple salad that went perfectly with the meat. Dessert was a choice of natilla, fruits, lemon mousse and a flat apple tart. Wine and bread were included in the very reasonable price of 19.50 euro.

Absolutely the best restaurant in the square!!! I don't know how many times l've been in Salamanca, but every time Cervantes is a MUST (both restaurant and tapas bar) Restaurant on the first floor (outside): good view of the square, good food, reasonable price. The plate of cold cuts is the best in the square! You may find a cheaper plate of cold cuts in the same square, but the quality will be - supermarket level for the tourist price. Tapas bar (second floor): Tinto de Verano is not the best, but the tapas are very tasty!!! The only bad thing is that you won't be able to eat them all.

Manuela DH

Amazing view to the square, great Cervantes old style deco, relaxing music, lively place with quiet areas too. Had 2 rich salads for dinner and a great house rioja!

We loved this restaurant. The food was excellent! We had the calamari, the goat cheese, iberico ham, and the grilled vegetables plate. All was absolutely delicious but the grilled vegetables was super tasty. Their wine was exceptional as well. Customer service was good and the restaurant with their antiques decors felt like they have been around since the Conquistador days. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

We went on a Wednesday evening and had a salad, A plate of ham, some asparagus and a glass of wine. The price for two was €60 including the tip. Service was quite good and we had a great time

The restaurant location is just perfect. At the corner of the squere. We came at 9:00 just before darkening. The plaza come to full of live, and the light turned on like magic. The service was quick, and the tables are very clean. The menu is digital in spanish and english via a QR code. We ate two dishes: Esparragos blancos extra con dos salsas: Cold white asparagus with 2 sauces (mayonese and chopped green-red pepper). It was nice, not the best asparagus I ate, but I think a lot depends on the vegetable and not on the cooking method. Huevos rotos con jamon iberico y patatas fritas tradicionales: Fried eggs (sunny side up) with raw Iberian hams and freshly made traditional fried potatoes. It was very delicious, we would suggest it. :)

There won’t be much better places to eat in Salamanca. Great view to Plaza Mayor. Delicious food. You can have some beers as well. Fully recommended!!!

Thanks to Naim, the James Bond from Salamanca, for making our lunch an experience. Good food, large portion and crowded with the local families. Price is reasonable.

There are a lot of spots to stop for drinks and tapas in Plaza Mayor. You can easily be sucked into one of the poorer establishments if you are not carful. To avoid that happening, simply go here. …

El local está muy céntrico y son varias plantas no muy grandes. Está limpio y los camareros correctos.Pedimos el menú degustación y estaba todo bueno excepto el steak tartar que era increíble. Repetiría sin dudar

La comida muy buena y el trato también. Lo malo son las escaleras. No se puede ir con personas mayores o minusválidos. Un poco ruidoso, pero bueno igual fue puntual..

Reasonably good food in a friendly atmosphere that would be great to share with friends. Staff were easy to deal with despite my limited Spanish and fast to respond. The food has some good flavors but sits for a while in the window waiting for you to choose it so it loses a bit from ordering fresh cooked at a table. Process are cheap. The bathrooms were clean.

Phil Miller

Good service, price is reasonable for its beautiful location. Good cold beer and the food was fresh and well cooked. The potatoe croquettes are amazing.

Acaban de añadir este restaurante en la guía michelin y te esperas una excelencia en el servicio y las instalaciones, y la verdad que no fue así. El restaurante tiene dos pisos comunicados por escaleras(sin ascensor) y nosotros íbamos con una persona de 99 años, avisamos el día anterior; de eso y de que era un cumpleaños. Pues a pesar de avisar de que íbamos con una persona que no puede subir escaleras fácilmente, nos pusieron en la última planta, algo muy desconsiderado por su parte. Tampoco quisieron cambiarnos en el momento, mi abuela tuvo que subir todo el edificio. El sitio tampoco está preparado “estéticamente” para pertenecer a la guía michelin: sala solo preparada a la mitad, paredes desconchadas, cojines de las sillas sucios, rodapiés sucios… Había también ropa y zapatillas tiradas en un lugar de la escalera que seguía hasta el tercer piso… cuando estabas comiendo se oían gritos y demasiado ruido de cocina y vajilla. Es una pena que luzca “cochambroso” cuando la comida sí que merece la pena, porque el producto y las elaboraciones son muy buenas, y por lo que cuesta estás comiendo en un buen lugar de Salamanca. Si se pusieran las pilas podría ser un lugar de estrella michelin.

La comida estaba bien cocinada y presentada, precio razonable. Las 3 estrellas son porque en la zona donde nosotros cenamos había una mesa llena de platos sucios...y tambien por el tono alto de hablar las camareras entre ellas y con cocina, fue horroroso estar cenando y estar oyendo su vocerío continuamente

Nobody likes to write all but stellar reviews but sometimes it is necessary. This experience started well and ended not so. We get there early, get a table and choose the ‘menu’. The ham and melon was delicious. Second was the ‘chuletta’ also good. Then, a large group arrived. Another waiter asked us to move so he could assemble a large table. We did and he said he was going to send us a treat. The treat was more water and coffee (we were moving for free anyway!). Then, we waited… our server was nowhere in sight (learned later he was in charge of changing the beer barrels). After a while he remembered us and came asking of our choice for ‘postre’. My wife’s came totally wrong. After so much time there we asked for the bill. They charged for that water and coffee and for the wrong dessert…

Nice atmosphere, maybe we ordered the wrong food but we didn’t like it, especially the shrimps with the intestinal tract

Para empezar fuimos un viernes a la hora de comer y estaba completamente vacío. Muchos platos los sirvieron fríos (que no tiene perdón al estar completamente solos). La comida muy sin más, y para el nivel de Salamanca y precio no volvería (restaurante como El Montero o Tapas 2.0 no tienen NADA que envidiarle). Y ya la joya de la corona fue que el helado del postre fuese de Mercadona. Otra cosa no pero ese helado me lo comí 500 veces y lo reconozco perfectamente. Le pregunté al camarero y me dijo q era de un sitio el cual frecuento y también probé múltiples veces. Y no tenía nada que ver. Aun si hubiesen dicho la vd le pondría mejor puntuación. No recomiendo ni volvería.

It took me months to decide on writing this review, but I thought it was important. My family and I (6 of us) visited this restaurant on the evening of last March 26th. Being our first visit to Salamanca, this restaurant was highly recommended. No reservation was made, but we didn’t have to wait for a table; a very friendly gentleman walked us upstairs to a nice corner table. Our nightmare took off from there, where a coughing waiter came up to our table 15 minutes after our menus were handed out. He was in a big hurry because he wanted us to order right away when we barely were looking at our menus. No wine suggestions, no menu recommendations when I asked for. We order our dishes, mine arrived right when my wife and daughters were finishing theirs, I had to ask twice for mine (fish) since my family was almost done with theirs. No dessert was suggested and the non-stop coughing waiter never stopped by our table to ask if everything was okay. I asked for the check, which he brought it like in the following 30 seconds; it seemed to us he wanted us out. It’s a shame that, even though the food, ambiance was great and decent priced menu, a member a of a waitstaff can destroy what it could’ve been an A+ review.

Martin Chapman

I am baffled by all the positive reviews for this place. I suspect that locals eating the daily menu get something much better - and good for them. We sat in the square in the evening and ordered several vegetarian dishes such as patatas bravas, salad, croquetas, padron peppers. All of them were the lowest quality I have ever had in Spain. We had sangria, which was clearly premixed from a bottle. The service was fine and the location stunning, but that’s unfortunately the worst meal we have had in Spain/Portugal in a 2 week trip.

This was the worst food we had in Europe. wine glasses were so dirty had to ask for new ones. I was so excited to have a Paella, what Spain is famous for. It was the worst i have ever eaten. It was…

We were told that the four of us would be able to share two tapas. The portions were adequate for two people sharing, not four. The price does not correlate to the quality of the food. Nice environment, but you can find better food anywhere other than in this tourist trap.
