La Morcilla Restaurante y Tapas

La Morcilla Restaurante y Tapas situates itself quietly on Pl. del Corrillo in Salamanca, a spot you might not spot immediately from the street but well worth the little search. It’s a solid choice for those who want to enjoy Spanish and Asturian-inspired dishes in a relaxed setting without the bustle of the more tourist-heavy plazas. The restaurant’s vibe is cozy and intimate, fitting neatly into the charming square’s rhythm, making it a great option for an evening meal or a casual night out.

The menu leans on generous portions and classic comfort foods with a refined twist—think rich rice dishes like Arroz con Bogavante or Asturias’ hearty Cachopo Asturiano. Tapas here stretch beyond the usual, with interesting choices like patatas fritas prepared fresh, croquetas offering unexpected flavors such as morcilla with apple compote, and more sophisticated plates like risotto with wild mushrooms. The mix of local and regional Spanish favorites paired with attentive service keeps the experience effortless and approachable.

This place tends to draw a varied crowd—from couples on a relaxed evening to groups looking for a lively yet unpretentious dining spot. Locals appreciate the friendly and efficient service, which, coupled with the reasonable prices, makes it easy to return regularly. If you arrive around dinner time, you’ll find the right balance of atmosphere and attentiveness, ideal for a laid-back meal where conversation flows easily.

La Morcilla’s location in Pl. del Corrillo adds to its appeal, especially during warmer months when the square spills over with life but without the overwhelming tourist aspect found just a short walk away in Plaza Mayor. This makes it particularly welcoming for those who want to immerse themselves in Salamanca’s evening culture while savoring well-executed Spanish dishes.
