Restaurante Arzobispo Fonseca

Every major college town has a restaurant where faculty and staff take guests for inexpensive meals in a fancy setting. In Salamanca, it’s this beauty in the formal 16th-century courtyard of the Colegio Arzobispo. The tables are set in pristine white linens, and you’ll be dining with dons and university administrators. The menu del día is clearly subsidized, offering a choice of two first plates (typically a salad or a rice dish) and two second plates (sole or chicken, for example), along with wine, bread, and a pastry.
