Mesón Octavio

A long-standing Ciudad Real institution serving the classic Manchego repertoire — duelos y quebrantos, partridge stew, roast suckling lamb — in a comfortable stone-walled dining room. The wine list is naturally heavy on local Valdepeñas and Méntrida.

Booking advised at weekends. Two courses with a glass of wine costs around €25–30; the tasting menu is worth it on a special occasion.
