I can’t say enough good things about Monaco. It’s a true gem in Medina del Campo.

Jacobo is the heart of this restaurant—quite simply, one of the best hosts I have ever met and a consummate professional. He genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. The entire waitstaff is excellent, with thoughtful recommendations that make it almost impossible to choose wrong.

We started with the freshest, most flavorful tomatoes—absolutely delicious. Then came the croquetas, and I don’t say this lightly: they were some of the best I have ever had, which is a major compliment considering how many croquetas I’ve eaten in my life! Creamy and flavorful on the inside, incredibly crisp on the outside. Perfection.

Next came the pig ear with a fantastic sauce. Despite our making the reservation that same day, Jacobo made sure there was lechazo available for us. We also had the tostón (cochinillo), a leg of suckling pig so good it tasted as though it had been made by angels.

And dessert? That’s not something to explain. You simply have to experience it.

If you are visiting Medina del Campo, put Monaco on your list. The food, the hospitality, and the attention to detail make this much more than just a great meal—it’s a true foodie experience and one of the highlights of Valladolid.

Todo realmente bueno. El local muy agradable, al igual que el personal. Todo de 10

Große Portionen zu fairen Preisen. Wir hatten Gofio-Käse, gefüllte Champignons, gefüllte Kroketten und 2 verschiedene Kuchen.

Bonne cuisine. Je conseille l'arroz negro. Sous les brumisateurs, c'est parfait.

Muy bien !!!
