Julian Duque

Day trip to Segovia. We didn’t want to go to Maria or meson as we figured it was more popular and more touristy.
Anyway duque turned out ok. We got the daily special for 19.9 € per person. There’s a few things you can choose as an app and entrée but if you aren’t getting the suckling pig it’s 16 € per person
We got the soup, which was plentiful and delicious. Hard to describe the taste but it wasn’t an overly thick soup.
The suckling pig is what I wanted to discuss here. I think this place does a fantastic job with this dish but personally speaking, I’m not a big fan of the way Spanish suckling pigs are prepared. I found it overly moist and the only taste was of salty meaty taste. Upon further discussion with my girlfriend I think it was more of a personal thing
Overall, the suckling pig itself here was juicy and tender. And the skin was crispy. It would have been nice if the entrée was accompanied by potatoes or fries of that sort
Dessert was a house dessert — some form of chocolate cake with vanilla cream but I wasn’t a big fan of it
This is my first time trying a suckling pig and I am reluctant to eat this dish personally but if I was going to try it again with friends, I’d give it one or 2 more tries before calling it quits.

So… By whole roasted suckling pig, they mean a cut up portion so def not all of it– and they charge for the bread and the oil!!! The food is great quality but be warned that you are walking into a tourist trap?

Hace un par de meses que fui a Segovia con mis sobrinos a pasar el día. Estuvimos comiendo en este restaurante de la plaza mayor. Estuvimos en la terraza, que tiene unas vistas espléndidas de la catedral por cierto. Ensalada de cogollos con perdiz y el clásico cochinillo asado, espectacular! Los peques también comieron el cochinillo, les encantó! Buen servicio, rápido y eficaz. Volveré fijo!
