What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Restaurante Mencia for its high-quality, authentic cod dishes and excellent, friendly service. The mushroom salad and extensive wine selection are also frequent highlights. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one diner found the prices to be too high for the value received.
"We had lunch today, and the food was great quality, authentic taste, the staff is so friendly. We had salad with mushrooms and so tasty cod. Great wine selection also. The main dish cod was cooked perfectly! It is worth to walk 5 minutes from the center square. Highly recommended!"
David Reche
"We each had a cod dish and both were absolutely delicious, as were the wine and the ensalada templada. The service was excellent and both the quality of the service and the food more than surpassed our expectations. One of our most memorable and enjoyable meals to date. If you’re in Salamanca, Mencía is a must."
Antonia Delgado-Poust
"Excellent service, delicious food and wine. Would strongly recommend. Make sure to try the mushroom salad between a few people, it's delicious. Proper portions, none of that tapas sized rubbish."
