La Taberna de Beni has been on the list of places to visit since before I moved to Burgos, though it’s only after more than a year that the Burgalesa and I finally crossed the threshold in search of the ultimate tigre. Service was quick, despite the bar being fairly busy. The tigers were sent…
Tigres at Casa Regional de Salamanca
We stopped by the Casa Regional de Salamanca on a whim, attracted by the preparations for a fiesta that we noticed when walking past it earlier. Naturally, the woman behind the bar turned out to be a friend of the Burgalesa’s, so we caught up on the all the relevant news while we waited for…
Tigres at Lago 137
Recently re-opened and refurbished following the previous owners’ retirement, Lago 137 sits on a spacious corner near the bust of Pope Juan XXIII, after whom the neighbourhood is named, and behind the large fountain that I have always assumed is why they call it “Lago”. Works for me, anyway. The tigres are meaty, once again….
Tigres at El Tirol
El Tirol came highly recommended by the Burgalesa as well as our friend, Nacho, who is a veritable connosieur of the local pinchos scene. Off the back of a slightly underwhelming Tigre elsewhere, we decided to stop in at El Tirol on the way home to compare and contrast. The bar itself is small and…
Tigres at Mundo Mayan
The joy of the unexpected Tigre awaits the culinary pilgrim around every corner in Burgos, so it would seem. While not all bars offer the delicacy, and even those that do, don’t necessarily every day or at all hours, every so often one opens the door to a friendly looking café in search of a…
Tigre Reforzado at Moral
The Café-Bar Moral is, according to the Burgalesa, an institution of sorts. Opening early, she says it has often been the final port of call after a long night out partying in the city centre. It is clean and well lit, and the staff have been consistently friendly on my now several visits, reminding me…
Tigres at Meson el Rubio
The Burgalesa tells me that this place is known for their Tigres. I have high expectations when we walk in through the front door. The Tigres are piled high on the bar, and look good! We ordered one each along with a caña and a portion of patatas bravas, and found a table at the…
Tigres at La Amanita
La Amanita is currently “the local” for the Burgalesa and I. On returning from an unexpectedly extended visit to the ‘Diff, we decided that the best way to settle back in to Burgos / Tigre life would be a quick hop around the corner to familiar surroundings. Though part of a chain (I recall we…
Tigres at El Gallinero
An inauspicious start to an earnest study of the Tigre. They look sad in the case, slightly wilted, scaring the Burgalesa. However: we had come this far determined to feast on Tigres, and we were not about to turn back now. What came out of the kitchen several minutes later was in far better shape….
