About Mesón La Cueva - Restaurante frente a la Catedral

Mesón La Cueva sits right on Plaza Santa María, facing the Burgos Cathedral. It's a mutton barbecue restaurant, plain and simple. With a 4.2-star rating from over 500 reviews, it seems to be a solid choice for those seeking roasted lamb. Finding information is tricky; hours aren't listed online. The location is prime, though, especially if you're already touring the cathedral and want a traditional meal nearby. I haven't eaten here yet, so I can't personally vouch for the quality. However, its consistent positive reviews suggest decent food. It's worth checking out if you're specifically looking for mutton barbecue in the heart of Burgos. Just be prepared to potentially wait if it's busy, given the lack of confirmed hours. The space is listed as being on the ground floor (BAJO) at number 7 Plaza Santa María.
