Great Cantabrian cuisine
A great meal is one of my weaknesses. I like to leave feeling satisfied, as I imagine you do too, so I'd like to recommend a place for real Cantabrian food prepared simple with local products.
The Ministry of Tourism of Cantabria invited us to Casa Nacho and it was a great success. Located right off the highway, this restaurant is recommended by both the Michelin Guide and Campsa, which gives you some reassurance that you're in for a great meal. The place is located in a building and the decor is traditional Cantabrian with a few Andalusian touches throughout the restaurant. There's an Andalusian-style tapas area, a terrace, and country-style main dining hall.
We ordered a tasting menu: first, excellent ham hand-cut by the owner and Jabugo bacon and perrochico mushrooms with eggs that were delicious. Then, we had a classic mountain stew, the perfect dish to warm you up on a cold day. It was stuffed full of short ribs, sausages, and meat. Finally, we had an excellent Tudanca beef tenderloin that just melted in your mouth, accompanied by potatoes and red peppers.
For dessert, we tried a chocolate French toast that delighted everyone. The service was very friendly, helpful, and professional. All in all, it was a positive experience.
The average price should be around 30-40 euros per person. No doubt Casa Nacho is a great place to eat good, simple, yet high-quality dishes straight from the land.
