Jose Maria Segovia this weekend - are reservations needed

[nbeck]

Hi
We will be taking a day trip from Madrid to Segovia this Sunday (gracias, AVANT) and want to lunch at Jose Maria. I prefer not to make reservations since that ties us down. Does anyone know if they are needed for Sunday afternoon at this time of year. Muchas Gracias. Neal

Please let us know what you think of it... we're hoping to be there on Oct 7 for dinner.

Jose María is great. Though I recommend splitting one roast pork portion and ordering other stuff off their menu, too. Like the judiones (big white beans--a very heavy dish, but a Segovia classic).

Lalatineando...Neal--definitely! You can find me on twitter @butterflymeow and I'll send DM you my contact info.

I just heard back from Jose Maria - if interested, they only have two seatings on weekend afternoons at 13:45 and 15:00. Neal

Just what I was going to post. They will only guarantee the time for the 1345 sitting, the 1500 sitting is a new queue for when people have finished ie you may have to wait for your table.

Neal, I assume you have a reservation for your train.

Gracias. My spanish was not good enough to figure out why there was a waiting list for 1500. Do you happen to know if one is likely to wait more than half an hour on a Sunday in late Sept.? (And I was wondering how anyone in Spain could boot people out after 75 minutes.)

Yes, we have booked the train, have learned my lessons on that the hard way.

It can get very crowded on the weekend... I'd recommend making a reservation. It's very close to the cathedral, so you could see that first and then go to the alcázar after.

Gracias. We should have a La Latina gathering! Neal
