Wow, the culture and history here is amazing. The seats, the walls, the designs, the bathrooms were all so nicely decorated. Located right by the plaza with a great view of the aqueduct too, this restaurant has been around for decades, maybe even centuries.
Yes, it is a touristy area. I went with a tour, so my experience was pretty good. Let’s start off, the seats were a little crammed together, but still enough room to sit. We had a tomato soup with really moist bread and eggs?! as a starter. The soup was delicious, but the soggy bread was really not my taste. Some of the other tour members asked if it was pig fat.
The cutting of the suckling pig. The owner of the store, second generation of the original owner came in to cut the suckling pig. He used a plate to show how crunchy the skin was roasted by jabbing it into the piglet. Then, he threw the plate on the floor. I thought I sat back a bit, but a small piece of the plate bounced onto my leg. There was no cut though, thankfully. The pig had a lot of fat, and smelt strongly of pork which wasn’t my favourite. The skin however, was like eating a thick chip. Super crunchy, but hard to bite into as well.
The dessert was the best in my opinion as it adhered to my taste, not too sweet, yet not too little texture.

En pleno centro de Segovia, justo a los pies del Acueducto puedes encontrar el Mesón de Cándido. Es famoso, desde que yo recuerdo, por el cordero lechal y por el arte con el que cocinan y parten el famoso cochinillo.
Lo mejor que tiene es la historia, la fama que le precede y la ubicación, además de la atención del personal que es excelente, y la comida, claro, que si no estuviera rica no habría conseguido prácticamente nada.
Lo peor es que el precio en algunas cosas, se le va, y que el tejado necesita una pequeña reforma. Es un edificio con mucha antigüedad y se nota, a nosotros de hecho nos tocó un día de lluvia y había goteras.
La terraza es espectacular, y claro, al tener las vistas que tiene, en cuanto sale un rayo de sol, está llenísima de gente. En el interior tiene dos plantas con salones para comer y una gran barra a la entrada.

Muchas veces cuando salimos a comer y en la carta hay cochinillo me apetece pedirlo, pero al segundo después de hacerlo ya me estoy arrepintiendo. Nunca esta igual que en Cándido. Es el mejor cochinillo del mundo. De eso estoy seguro. Además de ser un museo. Mi mujer pidió el Magret de pato con puré de pera que esta de 10. Os lo recomiendo si no os gusta el cochinillo. Además los postres son una pasada. El postre secreto esta increíble y la tarta de manzana es exquisita. De entrantes pedimos unos judiones y la verdad que estaban buenos, pero claro, el cochinillo es lo mejor. Por cierto el trato es de 10, y al acabar te dan un recuerdo. Siempre que paso por Segovia hay que ir.

Tourist trap or not, I really enjoyed the roast leg of baby lamb. It was melt in your mouth. The skin was crispy. The meat was succulent and had a delicate flavor. The portion was huge. I ate it all! No sides, except for the roll which I used to sop up the drippings.
We were on an organized tour but split up for lunch on our own this day. Service was very good and attentive.
Having lunch on the plaza in view of the aqueduct was a breath taking experience. Sometimes you have to go with the touristy stuff especially when you are abroad.

Fuimos a comer ayer por recomendación, ya que la ubicación es inmejorable, junto al acueducto de Segovia! Comimos lo típicamente recomendado: judiones de la granja y cochinillo. La puesta en escena está al nivel, ya que al recibirnos la atención fue excepcional y el actual sr. Cándido escenificó el ritual de cómo partir el cochinillo con un plato.
No obstante, 45 € por persona fue caro. Estoy seguro que podrían ajustar sus márgenes para mantener la buena fama que les precede… Aconsejo buscar restaurantes con mejor relación calidad/​precio.

Es un sitio donde he traído muchos amigos en visita a probar el cochinillo, la ultima vez asistí al ceremonial de cortar el cerdito con el plato. Las cosas cuando suenan a demasiado turístico me echan siempre para atrás. La comida esta muy rica pero la vi muy «fast-​Food»: pedí pato que me encanta y me lo traieron en menos de 5 minutos, y para que me pidan 18 € para un plato lo que pido es que no sea calentado. Pero bueno, estaba todo muy rico y el sitio estaba a tope; si mi sueño en la vida es tener una pharmacia, el segundo sueño es definitivamente ser dueño de la Mesón de Cándido!

Location location location. See the aqueduct directly out of window. However this place is so touristic haha. About the cochinillo, the good point is that the meat is well roasted and juicy. However some of my friends thought the pork has a strong smell– using more alcohol to roast might be a good solution.

Stopped in during a cold day. Two of us shared ½ a suckling pig and it was more than enough. The skin was wonderfully crispy. Also, the torta de Segovia is an underrated but incredible dessert.

Outdated and over-​rated I’m afraid. Expensive but below average food despite the pomp and the pretence. That’s the short of it.
Super-​cool setting, I love the building and all the little rooms and the kitsch. Located right next to the Roman aqueduct and with a little funfair right outside, it’s a great set-​up for a tourist trap. Yeah I said it, and it’s true.
I have no doubt of the interesting history and the glory of days gone by, and I did enjoy the little proclamation performance around the roasted piglet, culminating in using a plate to chop it up. Great fun! But other than that service was not good, food and drink very expensive, not well prepared and sloppily presented — cheap while trying to appear fancy. Definitely a ‘meh’ rating but maybe it’s hard to accept that given the setting and the price.
The true love for food and pride in history is drained from this place, and I do think they are scalping people for money at this point. Hard times in Segovia I’m afraid, and it’s apparent everywhere — maybe this place is just trying to survive, but I don’t really think so.
Go for the experience if you want, but don’t be surprised if you drop over € 150 for below average meal and service.

Make a reservation! I THINK that if you do they get you a great seat right in front of the action! And by that I mean you get to see them perform the «ceremonial» first pig cut! It’s totally worth it!
We basically ONLY went to Segovia for the famous cochinillo. It’s a little pricy, but one plate of the pig Might be enough for two people. My boyfriend and I got one plate of the cochinillo and one salad. It just barely satisfied us. However, if you’re really hungry you might be better off getting your own portion.
Oh and superb service!

This is a very old restaurant at the entrance of Segovia. The décor is amazing! Animal heads and guns… big fireplaces, it’s what you see in the movies when a knight goes into a tavern for some rest and relaxation. I ordered a steak… It sucked! My wife ordered chicken with a pumpkin seed sauce. We both found it extremly salty but good when you dipped your bread in the sauce. Turns out the is a Michelin rated restaurant and is famous for their pig! Our friend ordered the pig and it was actually very good! The owner was on hand and wore some award medal around his neck posing for pics with the patrons. Photos on the walls showed him with the King of Spain among others. Cool. The wait staff met our needs but all staff on hand seriously lacked personality. I expected more from this place, but what can I say? It filled the belly!

im gonna start with the good part. the location is epic. you are looking directly at the aqueduct, the ambience is as medieval as it gets. and the owner is a lovely human being who greets every single customer who goes there” amazing guy.
unfortunately it goes downhill from there. the place is VERY TOURISTY. and i mean big packs of tour groups cramming the place during lunch hours. it is almost impossible to get the waiters attention, and even harder to make them remember what you wanted. i was my own waiter in the end, finding my own utensils, salt and pepper and other needs.
the food was also bland. perhaps i came from a country specializing in roasted pig (lechon) and had very high expectations for this one. i was a little disappointed by the cochinillo. the skin was crisp, but the meat was bland. my wife had the steak, and that was also quite bland and the fries were soggy and unseasoned.
it may be a different experience at night when all the tour crowds are gone. but i dont think the food will taste any different.

Being right there in front of the aqueduct, with all the faux and cheesy country/​medieval decoration, and being touted as «the» place to go in Segovia, it furiously screams touristy. So, I naturally ended up there to try the famous cochinillo. Having ordered an entire piglet, and having the master chef introduce it with fanfare and destruction of a plate that he had just used to chop the pig, and having tasted the incredibly juicy and soft and salty meat, it turned out to be an experience i will never forget.
Prior to that fantastic little poor pig, a platter of jamon and another of assorted mushrooms were a delight that I most certainly order again. It is expensive, but not too bad considering how well you eat and how well you are treated. I’m not sure if there is anything else to do in Segovia now.

The location couldn’t be better; against the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, the building is absolutely gorgeous, but the is place is nothing else but a tourist trap. I absolutely agree that roasted suckling pig is a Spanish delicacy, but it amazes me that this place has been able to survive for decades on totally uninspired food; lettuce and tomatoes salad, soggy potatoes, bland roasted pig and bad service.
When were there, it took some time to get anybody’s attention, although several people were around the restaurant’s entrance; nobody offered any help; we finally asked and we were told with total indifference to seat where ever we wanted. We decided to eat inside, we were greeted by Candido’s son– who escorted us to the table and them– nothing !! for a whole 20 minutes; waiters walked by without acknowledging us at all; it was like we were invisible !!! I finally called the waiter, told him that we’ve been waiting of help and his answer was that he thought we had already been helped– we ordered drinks and them again we became invisible for another 10 minutes– we finally ordered and the food came promptly. We ordered the famous suckling pig; the best way I can described is; bland, mushy meat, with a faint animal smell; the best part was the crackling skin– we also had the a menestra of vegetables which tasted like a frozen vegetables and bad ham, the potatoes were soggy-​the tab almost 80 euros, the only thing I can say is that just a block away from Candido there was another restaurant offering the similar menu for 15 euros.

This is easily the most memorable part of Segovia and our splurge meal for the trip. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful area… right next to the aqueduct. The insides are covered with photos of famous people who have dined there and many other eclectic items. However, the most important thing is quite obviously the suckling pig.
Dare I say it was one of the best things that I have ever tasted? I didn’t know meat could be so moist and flavorful! They serve nothing but the pig in some juice, no sides on this dish but there’s no need. Its definitely on the expensive side, so be prepared!
Warning to the squeamish: the meat is not cut off the pig for you. You will see hooves and other baby pig parts.

Este restaurante es La Meca para los amantes del buen cochinillo segoviano, lo parten con el plato y todo, práctica muy castellana (que yo prefiero no mirar). Su fama traspasa las fronteras. Recomendable ir con reserva, porque se llena, sobre todo los fines de semana.
Yo sinceramente no como cochinillo ni carne, pero cuando vamos a Segovia con mi marido y mis cuñados a ver a un colega que vive allá, el Mesón de Cándido es parada obligada. Siempre piden judiones de la granja y cochinillo asado de segundo, no miran la carta ni nada.
El restaurante está ubicado justo frente al acueducto, no puede tener mejores vistas.

En el Meson de Candido, es donde mejor cochinillo al estilo segoviano he comido en mi vida y, te puedo decir que soy un apasionado del cochinillo. Cuando te lo traen a la mesa y lo trinchan con el plato, es UNA GOZADA, ver como se deshace la carne y los huesecillos, ummmmm solo de pensarlo se me hace agua la boca.
Por cierto, incluyo el link por si alguien quiere conocer algo mas sobre este lugar… Y que os aprovecheeee… www​.meson​de​can​dido​.es

Es el restaurante más famoso de Segovia debido a que su fundador era, y es, toda una institución en la ciudad. De hecho hay una estatua dedicada a su memoria en una de las rotandas segovianas.
En mi opinión hay restaurantes en los que se puede comer igual de bien y a mejor precio.

precio muy caro, no se come del todo bien pero para un dia frio de invierno estan muy bien las sopitas castellanas que dan asi que si tienes dinero y no te afecta la crisis, ves y disfrutaras de una buena comida castellana.
