Eating out is one of the best things to do in Salamanca. There are many good restaurants to visit and affordable prices for students. There is a bar for Students in Anaya called "Las Caballerizas" where you can have something to eat, although there are other bars where some days of the week there are special offers like "100 montaditos". I also recommend Rufo's Bar (in Van Dyck Street), Brocense (in Brocense street), Bambú (Prior Street) and Mario's (next to San Julián).
