La Parrilla de San Agustín

The El Corregidor house on Calle San Agustín

La Parrilla de San Agustín is the second restaurant of the El Corregidor management, another well-known Almagro house, and is at Calle San Agustín 18, in the historic centre, next to the church of San Agustín, the Municipal Theatre and the Contemporary Art Space. Inside it is rustic, with several separate rooms: one for an aperitif and others for sitting down to a leisurely meal. It is air-conditioned, something you appreciate in Almagro in July and January alike.

Two ways to eat, depending on your time

The restaurant itself sets it out this way. If you are passing through, stick to the La Mancha tapas and raciones: gachas, migas and the Almagro aubergines, which are on the menu by the piece at €5. If you have the afternoon, sit down to the à la carte menu, which changes with the seasons and also has a daily set menu; the price of the set menu is not published on the website, so ask when you call.

The cooking starts from the La Mancha tradition of cured and pickled foods and gives it a creative twist. And the name of the house is no lie: meats and fish go over holm oak embers.

What is on the 2026 menu

Among the starters, home-made partridge pâté with bitter orange marmalade (€22), home-made pork loin preserved in oil with asadillo (€22), prawn croquettes in garlic and stew croquettes (€20), scallops au gratin La Mancha style (€7 each) or a board of La Mancha cheeses with protected designation of origin (€23). Among the salads, the wild partridge salad on home-made asadillo (€22) and the tuna belly with asadillo and Raf tomato (€21); a salmorejo with ham, €12.

The meats are the most characteristic part of the house: shoulder of milk-fed lamb in the style of the Order of Calatrava with home-made potatoes (€28), milk-fed lamb chops grilled with potatoes and Padrón peppers (€25), low-temperature confit suckling pig with crackling skin (€26), oxtail (€22), young beef sirloin San Agustín style (€29) and a one-kilo dry-aged beef rib steak over holm oak embers (€42). Among the fish, from salt cod confit Biscay style (€24) to a one-kilo local squid grilled over holm oak (€35). Prices include VAT and the menu marks the allergens of each dish.

Booking and when it suits

Book on 926 88 26 56, using the form on its website or by writing to [email protected]; the house recommends doing so in advance. It has a second phone number, 620 54 94 69. Its website does not publish opening hours or the closing day: confirm when you book.

It suits a lunch or dinner on a day in Almagro: the Corral de Comedias and the Plaza Mayor are a few minutes' walk away, as is the Municipal Theatre if you have a ticket for a performance.
