Café Restaurante Corrillo

El Corrillo is a small bar on calle Melendez in Salamanca. It's in the old quarter of town, and is always full of students and youth. They open early, at 8.30 am, to serve coffee and breakfast, and generally remain open until 2 am.

The cafeteria decor is based around music, with photos, old records and signed articles by singers ... Breakfast includes muffins, Arabic coffee and fresh juices. Throughout the day they add hot and cold tapas and prepare homemade cakes. Prices are not expensive at all and one can eat great food accompanied by a drink for less than 10 euros per person. The restaurant serves a more elaborate and gourmet cuisine, it is beneath the café and is dedicated to traditional Spanish cuisine with a modern twist.

We found it by chance near the Casa de las Conchas. In appearance it seems more like a cafe than a restaurant. The staff is great and the food (which is important in these places), very good. You have a menu for 12€ (+2 € extra if you eat on the terrace).

The chef is Hector Carabias so I needn’t say any more. 100% recommended if you pass through Salamanca.
