Ezequiel Calle Ancha — Restaurant in León

OMG I will not have space enough to tell you guys about this place. It is an experience for your senses and your soul. Let's start for the situation: 3 minutes walk from the Cathredal, to have a nice wander after your meal. Let's continue with the restaurant: a cave downstairs and a great dining room & bar upstairs to live two different ambients: familiar & intimate or casual with friends. Best ever: the meal. They serve huge dishes so measure well how hungry you are. We ordered the menu (21€ on Sunday, that's amazing!) ant it included a starter, a principal, dessert and wine. We chose salad, potato&fish soup and cold meat. Each of them well dressed, nice presentation and tasteful. For the principal we ordered hake & carrillada. I swear you guys, best carrillada ever. The meat was tasteful and it melted on your mouth. For the desserts, just check the pics!! Save space for them! We chose white wine (Alvarín) which works grrreat with all the dishes. Last but not least! The crew. Amazing team of waiters who will turn the experience just perfect. They are close, friendly, polite, attentive and fun. They will treat you with a balance of respect and closeness and thwy will make their best for you to enjoy...

A peculiar place, that is both a restaurant and a shop. The common trait between the two is the local food, all very good, although maybe a little limited in the choice among the cheeses.

And, on the other hand, this unbalance is something that can be expected, as in Spain the cured meats and sausages are very popular, probably more than cheeses. The service, however, is perhaps not up to the quality of the product. Not that the staff are rude, but perhaps they are not sufficiently knowledgeable about the traditional foods of the area. Beyond all the quality considerations, this is obviously a place for tourists, so the prices are a bit high, as can be expected. However, all in all, it's a place worth visiting and a valuable...

I arrived with 30 minutes to eat before a work call at about 7 pm. Most places didn’t open their kitchen yet, but they did. When I ordered, I asked how long it would take to prepare my dish. They told me 10 minutes and sure enough, it did. They didn’t have to rush for me with everyone else in there. But they made sure I wasn’t late and could have dinner first. And they didn’t hesitate one second nor complain nor did they make me feel unwelcome. All to the contrary, they rushed without me asking any more and did it with an efficient work ethic and with gusto. Men and women of their word.

I ordered the Lomo and it came with freshly fried potatoes and roasted red bell pepper. It was delicious. I also had great house wine from Leon. I sat at the bar alone and crushed it all. God willing,...
