Our verdict

This classic restaurant in León keeps the true spirit of good dining alive. Its reputation was built on the salted cod that Alfonso brought from Valderas, which here takes centre stage, whether gratinated, pilpil -style, with green mojo sauce or paired with porcini mushrooms and lamb sweetbreads. There are more than ten ways to pay tribute to it. Also noteworthy are the juicy, high-quality red meats and the homemade desserts, such as orange torrija or mille-feuille with cream and apple. Attentive

About

This classic restaurant in León keeps the true spirit of good dining alive. Its reputation was built on the salted cod that Alfonso brought from Valderas, which here takes centre stage, whether gratinated, pilpil -style, with green mojo sauce or paired with porcini mushrooms and lamb sweetbreads. There are more than ten ways to pay tribute to it.

Also noteworthy are the juicy, high-quality red meats and the homemade desserts, such as orange torrija or mille-feuille with cream and apple. Attentive service, a classic atmosphere and flavours to savour slowly. Here, cod isn’t just a recipe, it has a history.
