i'm writing just as a counter to the negative reviews - i'm sorry they had bad experiences, but in our experience: - the food was wonderful - (pulpo planch, chipirones, presa cigala, tarta de manzan, bread, water, beer) - the service was amazing - (they had an english menu, but no one really spoke english - but they were incredibly...

The interesting food in the Salamanca style restaurant, where interior is bit dark and gloomy. Being in the group of four, we were slightly divergent in our opinions about particular dishes. Anyway, place worth to visit with reasonable prices.

After reading reviews we had high hopes but it was a shocker! The staff were friendly, that's it really because the food which tasted mostly of salt and the colourful sauces (gloop) were a disaster. To add insult to injury it was expensive. Our advise try somewhere else!

The Service was acceptable, although after driving up from the south of Spain, we were under dressed (caught out for the cool Salamanca evenings); and were still ushered to a table outside! I went for the Hake, as after a month of Spanish cuisine the thought of another plancha or fried dish made me stomach turn. It was the most... More

Good food can be hard to find in Spain but La Cocina de tono does not disappoint Really friendly staff and the menu del dia is served from Tuesday to Thursdays at lunchtimes and was only 53 euros for two of us, with a lovely bottle of Verdeho. The food was a culinary delight, one appetiser, three starters beautifully presented... More

I would not go to Salamanca to have diner or tapas in La Cocina de Tono, but if in Salamanca don't miss it. Went there because of raving reviews from Tripadvisor and was not disappointed. Food was excellent, one of the best we had is Salamanca, and staff was extremely helpful (place was full, but they manage to sit us... More

The atmosphere here is spot on for a romantic dinner, and for a silver service restaurant I thought the price was good. The waiting staff were very friendly and patient even though we don't speak Spanish. The food was pretty decent, the presentation was good but overall it didn't blow my mind. It was basically what I would expect for... More

Of course Salamanca is a beautiful city with amazing atmosphere and architecture, but this was our highlight. The taste, the texture, the creativity and quality of products - everything was excellent, we had a blast! The best quality/price value. I would recommend it to everyone, especially their evening tapas and dishes. Mmmmmm...we will definitely go back to Salamanca, just for... More

Once a TripAdvisor location has a critical mass of reviews, we tend to try the top 5 restaurants in any given city. This was the reason for our visit. The service was friendly, the food and wine was great. While it wasn't our most memorable experience we were very satisfied with our evening and have recommended it to others.
