The beginning
The current location of the restaurant in calle las Tercias, in Simancas, is steeped in history. The house where the dining room is located occupied in the Middle Ages the old stables where the payments of the 'tercias reales', an ancient tribute paid to the Church, were made. The payments were made with cereal grains or cattle that were kept here.
We have been offering typical Castilian dishes in Simancas for almost 50 years. We started in the main square, with the illusion of offering a different and authentic gastronomic experience.
The aim was to offer traditional, homemade dishes, prepared with fresh, quality, local and organic ingredients, which could transport diners to the flavours and aromas of the cuisine of yesteryear.
With this philosophy and thanks to our passion and dedication, working day by day to improve the quality of our dishes and services, the popularity of the restaurant grew, and we moved to the premises where we are now, to accommodate more diners. It is also located in the historic centre of this beautiful town in the province of Valladolid.

For twenty years he and his wife Carmen ran a restaurant in the Plaza Mayor in Simancas. When the premises became too small, they moved to the current location in Calle de las Tercias. Carmen makes sure that the customers are happy.
