El Llar
This old León taberna is a great place to tapear (eat tapas) or dine upstairs in the sit-down restaurant. Either way, you'll come across an abundance of local wines, cheeses, cured meats and other specialties of the region. For a typical León taste, order the tabla de embutido (plate of cured meats).

El Tizón
The tapas are good here, but the small sit-down restaurant, with an abundant set lunch, is even better. House specialities include embutidos (cured meats) and the delicious gambas envueultas a la crema (prawns wrapped in bacon with a cream sauce). It also has an extensive wine list.

Restaurante Artesano
One of the classier places to eat in León, Restaurante Artesano combines creative food, modern art and the renovated 17th-century Palacio Jabal Quinto. It's ideal for a special occasion and the choices of what to order are many and varied, from embutidos (cured meats) to brocheta de pato con frutos y frutos secas con manzana glaseada (duck brochette with fruits, nuts and glazed apple).

Restaurante Luisón
This place could only happen in Spain - basic surrounds, offhand waiters and terrific, hearty food that keep the locals fortified during cold winters. You'll often need to book ahead, especially at lunchtime when locals can't get enough of the local botillo berciano, a succulent pork dish, or cocido leónes (León-style chickpea stew).

Restaurante Zuloaga
This fabulous place in the vaults of an early 20th-century palace has a well-stocked cellar and classy menu. The walls feature original mosaics by the artist Ignacio Zuloaga.

Susi
Intimate dining and creative cooking make for a fine evening at this stylish new temple to good taste. The service is cool and attentive, the wine list is long, and the menu has some dishes that will live in the memory - solomillo relleno con foie and datiles (steak filled with foie gras and dates) stands out.
