Restaurant in Burgos, Spain
OAD-ranked; worth the drive from centre.
Landa holds an Opinionated About Dining Top 200 ranking for casual dining in Europe — a meaningful credential in a province with limited critical attention. The Google score is lower, reflecting a mixed general audience, but food-focused travellers routing through Burgos will find it one of the more reliably recognised kitchens outside the city centre. Easy to book, open daily for lunch and dinner.
Landa sits on the Madrid road south of Burgos's centre, and the gap between its Opinionated About Dining recognition and its Google score is the most useful thing to understand before you book. OAD ranked it #168 in Europe for casual dining in 2024 and #183 in 2025, with a Highly Recommended designation in 2023 — a consistent track record from a guide that skews toward food-focused, critical diners. The 3.2 on Google from over a thousand reviews tells a different story: this is a room where a significant share of guests arrived expecting something other than what they got. If you are booking as a food enthusiast who values cooking over comfort, the OAD signal is the one to trust. If you are arriving with family expecting broad-appeal Spanish hospitality at a hotel restaurant, manage your expectations accordingly.
Landa is a Spanish restaurant operating out of what is understood to be a hotel property on the outskirts of Burgos , a detail that matters for context. Hotel restaurants in Spain occupy a wide spectrum, from purely functional to seriously ambitious, and Landa's OAD placement puts it firmly in the latter camp for the Castile region. The kitchen runs Spanish cuisine, and the hours are consistent seven days a week: lunch from 1–4 pm and dinner from 8:30–11:30 pm. Those are generous windows by Spanish standards for a destination outside the city centre, and dinner at 8:30 pm is the natural entry point if you want the room at its intended pace rather than as a rushed lunch stop off the motorway.
For food and travel enthusiasts routing through Burgos , whether for the cathedral, the Camino de Santiago, or as a break between Madrid and Bilbao , Landa offers a level of cooking the city's centre alone cannot easily match at this consistency of critical recognition. Its OAD ranking places it ahead of most regional hotel dining in northern Castile, which is a meaningful credential in a province where the serious restaurant options are fewer than in the Basque Country to the north.
Specific dishes are not confirmed in available data, so no menu claims are made here. What the OAD casual dining designation signals is a kitchen working with Spanish ingredients and technique at a level serious enough to draw critical attention year over year , that is not an accidental outcome. The progression of a meal here, whether lunch or dinner, is likely to reflect the Castilian larder: this is roasting and slow-cooking territory, the region of lechazo and morcilla, where the cooking rewards patience rather than flash. If you are hoping for the kind of tasting menu architecture found at Burgos's more formal addresses, Landa's casual classification is honest , it is table dining, not a scripted progression of courses.
For the full tasting menu experience in Burgos, Cobo Evolución is the more structured option. But if your trip covers broader Spanish fine dining , El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Arzak in San Sebastián, or Azurmendi in Larrabetzu , Landa fits as a well-credentialled regional stop rather than a highlight destination in that company.
Based on its hotel setting on a major road outside the city, Landa's dining room is likely a larger, more formal space than the intimate taverns inside Burgos's historic quarter. That has implications for noise and energy: expect a quieter, more spread-out room rather than the ambient buzz of a packed city-centre restaurant. For conversation-driven dinners or business meals, that is an advantage. For those wanting the energetic feel of Burgos dining in its most local form, the centre's tapas bars and smaller restaurants will read differently.
No confirmed group booking information is available for Landa. Given its hotel-restaurant setting and larger room footprint, it is more likely to handle groups than a small city-centre restaurant , but confirm directly before booking a party of six or more.
No specific dietary accommodation data is confirmed. Spanish restaurant kitchens in the Castilian tradition are heavily meat-focused, so guests with vegetarian or vegan requirements should contact Landa directly before booking rather than assuming flexibility.
Bar seating availability is not confirmed in available data. If informal eating at the bar matters to you, the city-centre options , particularly the tapas bars in Burgos's historic quarter , will give you more reliable access to that format.
For a formal tasting menu, Cobo Evolución (€€€€) is the most structured option in the city. Ricardo Temiño (€€€) offers modern cuisine at a slightly lower price point. For traditional Castilian cooking at a more accessible price, Cobo Tradición (€€) and La Fábrica (€€) are both worth considering. See our full Burgos restaurants guide for broader options.
Dinner is the stronger choice for food-focused visits. The 8:30 pm start aligns with Spain's natural dining rhythm, and the room is less likely to be serving as a motorway lunch stop. Lunch works if your schedule demands it , the 1–4 pm window is generous , but dinner gives you the intended experience.
The OAD recognition gives Landa a credential that supports a special occasion booking in the Burgos context. It is a better option for a celebration dinner than the city's more casual or tourist-facing restaurants. That said, if you want the full special-occasion treatment with a tasting menu format, Cobo Evolución is the more scripted, occasion-ready experience in Burgos.
Specific dishes are not confirmed in available data, so no menu recommendations are made here. In the Castilian culinary context, expect the kitchen to work with regional staples , roasted lamb, charcuterie, pulse-based preparations , rather than the Basque or Mediterranean-inflected cooking you find further north or east. Order around the region rather than against it.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
Landa operates out of a hotel property on the outskirts of Burgos, which typically means larger dining rooms with more flexibility for groups than the smaller taverns in the city centre. check the venue's official channels to confirm private dining options and table configurations. Its location on the Madrid road also means parking is not an issue for groups arriving by car.
No specific dietary policy is confirmed in available data. Given its OAD Casual Dining recognition and hotel-restaurant setting, the kitchen is likely equipped to handle standard requests, but confirm directly when booking rather than assuming. Spanish restaurants at this level generally accommodate common restrictions with advance notice.
Bar seating is not confirmed in available data for Landa. The hotel-restaurant format suggests the dining experience is primarily table-based. If a casual drop-in option matters to you, Ricardo Temiño or La Fábrica in Burgos city centre are more likely to offer bar or informal counter access.
For a step up in ambition, Cobo Evolución and Ricardo Temiño are the reference points for serious cooking in Burgos. Cobo Tradición covers traditional Castilian food in a more relaxed register. La Fábrica and Boccaccio 70 are solid city-centre options if you want to stay central rather than drive out to the Madrid road.
Landa runs the same hours every day of the week — lunch 1–4 pm, dinner 8:30–11:30 pm — which suggests no structural difference between services. In Spain, lunch remains the main meal, and hotel restaurants at this level typically direct their kitchen effort toward the midday sitting. Lunch is the lower-risk choice if you're visiting for the first time.
It can work, particularly if your group is arriving from outside Burgos and staying nearby. The OAD Casual Dining ranking — placed at #183 in Europe for 2025, up from #168 in 2024 — gives it genuine credibility for a celebratory meal. That said, for a destination special-occasion dinner within Burgos, Cobo Evolución carries more prestige and a more deliberate tasting format.
Specific dishes are not confirmed in available data, so no menu recommendations are made here. Landa's OAD Casual Dining designation points toward a kitchen grounded in Spanish regional cooking rather than experimental tasting menus. Asking staff what is in season or arriving from local suppliers is a reliable approach at restaurants recognised at this level.
