Restaurants in Avila
Avila is famous throughout Spain for the quality of its veal ribeye steaks, known as chuletón de Avila (see above). The cuisine here is otherwise rather typical Castilian—red meat, dark sauces, wild game, and the potent red wines of the region.

Spaniards flock to the tables under the roofed courtyard for everything from dates to birthday parties. (Indoor dining is in the adjoining bar.) While the kitchen does an admirable version of the chuletón, almost everyone orders from the lower-priced daily menus. Even the chuletón is…$$Around Town
