A long-running family-run restaurant in the centre of Consuegra, Las Provincias does proper Manchego home cooking — pisto with a fried egg, slow-braised lamb (caldereta), grilled chuletas, and a daily menú del día for around €13. The dining room is plain and the service brisk; locals fill it at lunchtime.
Don't expect culinary innovation — expect a generous, honest, regional meal. Skip the underwhelming desserts and finish with a coffee instead.
