La Perdiz

Frommer's Review

La Perdiz is named from the favorite dish of Toledans -- partridge. That bird is best showcased here in a dish called perdiz estofada a la toledana, partridge stew with white wine, bay leaf, and onions. Another excellent choice is venison in a mushroom sauce. The menu also has some imaginative offerings such as a fresh fried cheese tossed in an orange dressing.

The best dessert is that local favorite, marzipan, here served as a tart with almond biscuits. On occasion a roast suckling pig is featured. The location is in the center of the old Jewish ghetto, about midpoint between two synagogues, Santa María la Blanca and Tránsito. The restaurant has two floors with views of the historic district, and walls are of wood and brick. Locals, and with good reason, cite the place for its good quality cuisine at affordable prices. The same people who run La Perdiz also operate Asador Adolfo, Toledo's premier restaurant . But prices at La Perdiz are far more reasonable.
