Chicopa - Penafiel

A happy, welcoming bar, very Spanish and informal, squeezed into a corner of a bustling plaza in the old district of Peñafiel. I'm quite addicted to the sandwich mixto and theirs is probably the best I've ever had! Excellent vino de casa, but then this is in the heart of the Ribero valley, surrounded by wineries. The service was good but a little slow, which suited us and gave us time to relax and people-watch.

I was giving a tour to an american couple, and while they were at lunch, we stopped in here. we ate at the bar, rustic and castilian. Nice service, we ordered a plate of local cheese, wine, pisto (a veggie stew), and some russian potato salad. With coffee, it came to 23 euros! Not too bad, and we finished in about 45 minutes to catch my clients for the continuation of their tour. Would go back for a more leisurely lunch.

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch followed some locals into this busy bar with a dining room in the back. We each had a menu del dia and as we liked the first course selections best, the waitress/kitchen were kind enough to let us choose 2 first courses each instead of a first course a second course. We loved every single course that we chose the house wine was excellent. The waitress was super helpful took the time to explain menu items to us. This was a really great value for money lunch!!

Cozy place to eat. menu varied. the deal very good. the most beautiful turrets. The burgers are big and they're very good.

Rich and homemade food. the Castilian soup and the chickpeas with riquisomos clams. daily menu of Friday 12€. can not be eaten better at that price.
