Frommer's Review

Set within the historic center of town, this is the best, most glamorous restaurant around. Owner-chef Victoriano Salvador spent some 15 years in France learning and perfecting his craft. He returned home to open this restaurant, which won the only star Michelin has ever granted to a Salamanca restaurant. Specialties include freshly prepared fish -- perhaps sea wolf in black squid sauce, broiled turbot in a hot vinaigrette sauce or, even better, bluefin tuna steak with sesame seeds. Try the tenderloin in lemon sauce or, if it's offered, pork ribs stuffed with prunes and served with a honey-mustard sauce. Don't miss Victoriano's signature almond-bark cookies. Despite the modernity of the cuisine, the portions are ample and well suited to Spanish tastes.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
