The restaurant

Pintxos and home cooking tavern next to the Plaza Mayor in Valladolid

Our Castilian embassy and the group’s original home: here, a minute from the Plaza Mayor in Valladolid, is where La Taberna del Herrero began. A pintxos bar and well-pulled beers, a dining room for hearty stews and a wine cellar where Ribera del Duero plays at home.

This bar is where the craft we later took to Santander was born. Come for tapas where it all began.

Right in the centre of Valladolid, on a pedestrian street a minute from the Plaza Mayor, is the original home of La Taberna del Herrero: the tavern where the group was born, bringing together the best of two regions — Castilian pintxos and hearty stews with the Cantabrian fried calamari (rabas) and escabeches of our Santander restaurants.

Ideal for tapas in central Valladolid before or after exploring the city on foot: a pintxos bar, sharing plates and a lovingly chosen list of Ribera and Rueda wines. Booking is advisable, especially at weekends.
