The city of Burgos is famed for its regional gastronomy and we decided to do an unpilgrim thing and splash out on a proper Burgos meal in a proper Burgos restaurant.
We chose lunch at 100+ year old Casa Ojeda, on the second floor of a long thin space overlooking pretty Plaza de Calvo Sotelo, with multi-paned windows covered in carved wooden lattices and overhead beams. We knew what the locale is known for and what the restaurant is known for so we went there.
All washed down with a Castillian rose, followed by coffee and delicate lacy biscuits.

| Two fois gras in raspberry sauce with preserved local cherries |
 |
| Roast duck so delicate it melted off the bone |
 |
| Warm partridge, marinated to retain moisture and flavour |
 |
| the 'house cake' - phillo pastry halved and filled with a thick sweet cream and a caramelized top Martin's fingers are for scale! |
 |
| white chocolate orb that, when warm dark chocolate was poured over it, melted open to reveal ice cream and dried fruits |
Yes please to the house cake and chocolate orb!
