Atrio

Atrio Review

Off Cáceres's main boulevard, this elegant, modern restaurant (in a hotel of the same name) just might be the best in Extremadura. Toño Pérez and his staff specialize in highly refined contemporary cooking, and the menu changes often, but you won't be disappointed with any of the selections, especially if they include venison, partridge, wild mushrooms, or truffles. Vieiras asadas con trufa negra (roast scallops with truffle) or pichón asado (roast wood pigeon) are two of the signature offerings. The building is a work of art itself, with modern lines contrasting the surrounding architecture in old Cáceres. This is upscale, high-end dining, and reservations and proper dress are required.
