Nardi Restaurant

Two Menus Following the Extremaduran Recipe Book

Nardi is at Calle Braulio Navas, 19, the same street as the tourist office, a few steps from the Plaza de la Corredera. Its cooking starts from the Extremadura of always, that of using the whole pig and salt cod, and takes it to today's dishes with vegetables from the valley's gardens. It has a Sol from the Repsol Guide and is in the 2026 Michelin Guide.

There are two tasting menus, per person. "El Valle en la Mesa" is seven courses for €54; "Recorrido Extremeño", nine courses for €68. Both open with three bites that sum up the house: the Iberian gilda, the monastery-style cod and the partridge Alcántara style. On the autumn menu, the short one continues with citrus salad, roast leek, cod tripe or roast scallop and Iberian presa meatballs; the long one swaps the leek for pumpkin risotto and adds the pig's trotter ravioli, the scallops, the fish of the day and low-temperature lamb. It ends with strawberries, brioche torrija or chocolate cake, depending on the menu, and petits fours. The wine pairing adds €18, and the premium, €22.

The Autumn Menu, with Prices

If you prefer to order separately, the menu starts with bites charged by the piece: 00 anchovies with wood-roasted Extremaduran pepper (€5.25), Iberian gilda (€4.90), the Extremaduran-style pig's trotter ravioli, which the house calls its classic bite (€5.50), and roast scallop with celeriac and truffle (€9.50). To share, from €18 to €24: citrus salad with smoked sardine, roast pumpkin risotto, roast leek with lime carbonara, foie terrine with oloroso reduction, Iberian ham croquettes (€12 a portion, €7.40 half) and Extremaduran cheeses (€19.50 or €13.50). Seasonal mushrooms and the fish of the day are at market price.

For main course, cod tripe in herb pil-pil with white prawn (€24), acorn-fed Iberian presa meatballs with gnocchi (€21), low-temperature lamb with caldereta jus (€24.50), crispy orange-confit suckling pig (€25) or veal sirloin with sweet potato purée (€28). The sourdough bread is €2. The menu notes which dishes contain gluten, lactose or nuts. With two bites, a dish to share between two and a main course each, the bill is around €45 per person before wine and dessert.

Five Lunchtimes and Two Evenings

On the autumn timetable it opens at lunchtime Wednesday to Sunday, from 13:30 to 15:30, and serves dinner only on Friday and Saturday, from 20:30 to 22:15. Monday and Tuesday, closed. According to the Hervás Tourism listing it seats 48 diners between the dining room and the terrace. Book on its website, by phone on 927 48 13 23 or at [email protected]; the form is the same for the menus and the à la carte, and the menu is confirmed at the table. The website says nothing about dogs or a children's menu: ask when booking.

It also sells gift vouchers for two: €108 for "El Valle en la Mesa" and €136 for the "Recorrido Extremeño", without pairing. They arrive as a PDF and are valid for six months.

Before and After the Table

From the door you go down in a couple of minutes to the Jewish quarter, and it is a meal that fits at the end of the Greenway from Béjar if you take the first bike of the day. To stay on after Saturday dinner, El Jardín del Convento is on the other side of the centre, on foot.
