About Restaurante Casa Ojeda | Horno de leña
A meal at Casa Ojeda, open since 1912 and dressed in the kind of elaborate carved woodwork that takes a moment to take in, is the benchmark Burgos roast lamb experience. The lechazo — slow-roasted in the wood-fired oven — is what most people come for, and the waiters will divide a single portion between two plates without being asked. The morcilla de Burgos and the mollejas round out the Castilian table before dessert arrives: the milhojas and the chocolate sphere are the two finishes people keep mentioning. Staff like Juan Antonio and Raquel get named in reviews, which says something. Reservations are essential — the dining room fills fast enough that walk-ins rarely get past the bar.
