El Figón de Eustaquio
A time-honored spot on Plaza de San Juan, open since 1947, famed for migas, partridge, venison and other local classics.
On the pedestrian Plaza de San Juan, this restaurant opened in 1947, founded by Eustaquio Blanco and his wife Francisca Rosado, and is said to be Cáceres' oldest restaurant. It serves Extremaduran home cooking: migas, stewed partridge, venison loin, lamb stew and Alcántara-style cod, along with regional set menus. Recent diners praise the roast lamb and partridge, but service and consistency get mixed reviews, reflecting its old-school style. It is often full, so phone ahead. About €30–40 per person, roughly a five-minute walk from the main square.
