What to eat in Merida? Discover the typical food
July 28 2021
Spanish Rome
Next to the Guadiana river stands a town that, despite not reaching the size of Rome, was once a meeting point for society, at a time when the Roman Empire was booming. That city is Merida.
Wherever you walk, you will find vestiges of an ancient world. The streets are full of buildings as emblematic as the Roman theater in Mérida, in which every summer they perform classics.
However, not only the ruins of the past stand out here. Eating in Mérida is another of the things that you cannot miss if you visit this town!
Where to eat in Mérida?
In the center of the city, there are numerous bars and restaurants, so, so you don't feel overwhelmed, at ILUNION Hotels we have made a selection of a few for you as a guide.
El Alfarero: located in an intimate alley, a place where you can try typical dishes of Extremadura gastronomy for a more than reasonable price. You cannot leave without trying the grilled Iberian pork barbecue with a garnish of house potatoes.
Mesón Tienda el Yantar: With a pleasant terrace, here you will find a typical setting of the region: the inn of a lifetime. Of course, with traditional food and excellent quality. You can enjoy a good acorn-fed Iberian ham, so characteristic of the region, or, if the weather is good, try a good Extremaduran stew, another of the typical dishes of the place.
De tripas corazón: Do you want to eat on a terrace in front of the famous Temple of Diana? Well, this is your place, a cuisine that mixes tradition with modernity in a unique enclave within the city.
Parador de Mérida Restaurant: If you want to pay tribute to yourself, you have to stop by this restaurant. Here you will eat in an authentic Extremadura parador, with a more than enviable menu and an idyllic patio.
