Meson De Candido

This century-old restaurant, founded in 1876, is the most famous roast suckling pig restaurant in the ancient city. It is famous in Spain for its unique secret recipe and delicious taste. The restaurant is next to the ancient Roman viaduct.

After visiting the Royal Palace of Madrid, we rushed to Segovia without stopping, focusing on visiting the ancient Roman aqueduct and tasting the specialty meal - roast suckling pig - at the first restaurant next to the aqueduct. This restaurant needs to be booked one day in advance. The decoration inside the store is unique and the dining environment is very good. Before the meal, the old store manager personally presided over the ceremony, which was very interesting. The taste is still very good, the portion is large, and red wine is free to drink. It's a bit greasy, so you can't eat too much. After the meal, you can visit the major attractions in Segovia.

The most popular local online celebrity said that there is a shop with many years of history. The roast suckling pig and red wine of Segovia are delicious here. In the leisurely afternoon, you can eat like a European. You can also take photos with the chef. It is worth checking in.

Segovia is the birthplace of roast suckling pig in Spain. You must try it when you come here. There is a 200-year-old antique restaurant next to the ancient Roman aqueduct. It is run by the Candido family for generations. Each suckling pig grows for 21 days. The restaurant itself is a local relic. The current owner, Antonio Candido, is the fourth generation of the restaurant. The restaurant has a very special pig-cutting ceremony. According to tradition, the white porcelain plate used to serve dishes in the restaurant is used as a "tool" to cut the suckling pig. After the cutting is completed, the boss will throw the porcelain plate casually, and the sound of the porcelain plate breaking on the ground proves that the roast suckling pig is genuine. The sound of the plate smashing replaced the boss's "welcome". The whole process ended within 30 seconds, neatly and tidy. This is Segovia's unique welcome ceremony before tasting the roast suckling pig. It is quite interesting. The per capita consumption is about 40 to 50 euros.

The ancient Roman aqueduct is nearly 2,000 years old. Tiegebi is a restaurant that has been here for more than 200 years. The sign of the tire man is placed in the corner of the window outside the restaurant in a very low-key manner. Customers who come here, of course, are all targeting roast suckling pig as their first goal. Fortunately, the boss happened to be there, so I saw him personally using a porcelain plate to cut the suckling pig in a traditional demonstration. I heard that if you come at the wrong time, you can only enjoy the chef's performance. You can clearly taste the milky pork, which is tender and juicy. The suckling pig skin is tough and crispy. It is roasted thoroughly. Great! However, please don't forget the taste of the Hong Kong-style roast suckling pig covered with crispy water when tasting it. It is a completely different process and has zero comparability. ~~ A small suckling pig was divided into six portions. At first, I thought the store was stingy, but after a few bites, I found that it was indeed easy to get tired. It was enough to reduce it by half...‍♀️‍♀️

With a history of more than 200 years, it is also the most famous and authentic roast suckling pig restaurant in Spain. The meal was to start at 1pm on the day we went there, and we arrived at 11am, so we booked a seat in advance. Later, when the meal started, there were still quite a lot of people, and we also caught up with the owner's plate-breaking ceremony, which was quite lucky. The taste was indeed good, but maybe I had too high expectations before, it was not as good as I imagined, but the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, and there was a Chinese menu.

#World Food# Foraging for Spanish Meson de Candido I heard that Segovia's roast suckling pig is very famous, so I arranged to try it. Location: Next to the Aqueduct of Segovia (1 attraction) Environment: There are several small floors, and the restaurant decoration is very stylish. There are many photos of celebrities visiting the restaurant on the wall. Because there were so many people, we were arranged to dine in a private room. menu: Toast: It was a big piece, but very hard. Although it tasted good, it was so hard that I didn’t know how to eat it. Bread and egg soup: The bread was dipped into the soup. At first I thought it was pork fat. The taste was very similar. I am not used to this kind of soup. Roast suckling pig: The chef was arranged to demonstrate the cutting on site. The special thing was to use a plate to cut it (I thought it was very impressive, but in fact, anything can be used for cutting). Anyway, after cutting, the plate was smashed exaggeratedly. (This is a show) Let’s get back to the business. One baby suckling pig can be shared by about 8-10 people, and each person can get a large piece. The meat is indeed very tender and delicious. Red wine: Red wine will be provided. Cake ice cream: The last dessert, no kidding, the cake is so sweet that it makes me question my life. Even someone like me who often eats desserts can’t accept it. When I left, I recognized the boss and took a photo with him. He was a lovely old man.
