What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Restaurante Siglodoce for its authentic traditional Castilian cuisine, particularly the spectacular chuletón de Ávila and generous portions. The historic ambiance of the 12th-century building adds to the charm. While service is generally lauded as attentive and friendly, some reviews mention a rushed experience during busy times. The value for money, especially with the menu for two, is a recurring positive point.
"We had a really nice experience with this restaurant and it’s all kudos to Jony (Jonathan).
We decided to spend our last day in Madrid in Avila. We were there from 9:30 to 13:30 so obviously we don’t have that much time to do everything on a relaxed pace.
The plan was to just see the walls, visit the cathedral, try the chuleton and roam around. Maybe go to Mirador cuatros potes if we still have time.
12noon came, I saw this restaurant online and since they open at 12, we went inside and asked if there’s reservation needed and they said no. Jony was entertaining us and specifically told him we were in a hurry and we were a little full still as we had just ate in a nearby cafe. He suggested the chicken salad and the chuleton for us to share because the portions are big enough to satisfy us.
We asked him for some ‘advice’ on how we go to Mirador given that we only have little time left and oh boy he did not disappoint. He even managed to get us a map, he told us to take a taxi from the restaurant and go to Mirador and ask the driver to wait for us to take a couple of photos and drive us straight to the train station and it was very convenient.
Food came and he gave us a broth! It was really good and it was for free!!! We were the very first customer there so everything we ordered came really quick. The chicken salad was SOOOO GOOOD and the serving was big. The chuleton came and although it was good, I felt like I want it to be a little salty. But anyway there’s a little salt on top of it so I kind of spread it a little.
We finished everything in 35 mins, paid the bill, left and went straight to the taxi stand that Jony told us to take.
Thank you Jony! I have visited Avila a lot of times already and I was just there to tour my friends. I will definitely eat here again and will recommend this to everyone I know that will visit Avila.
I did not manage to take proper photos as we were in a hurry."

"The food is amazing! If you’re are looking for an Authentic Castilian Food, this is your place. Their “chuletón de ternera” (grilled ribeye stake) is spectacular. The atmosphere is a great complement to the food. Highly recommended"
