The province of León in four unbeatable restaurants
JIMENEZ DE JAMUZ
El Capricho Winery (Paraje de la Vega, s/n tel. 987 66 42 24) €€€€
Either you love it or you hate it . Such are the passions and this happens with such a famous site and its owner, José Gordon.
The oxen that Gordon takes care of with so much care are the reason for being of the place, so there is no doubt: steak tartare, cecina, seasoned warm tongue, chorizo... to finish with a chop or sirloin of beef or working cow and a bowl of homemade chips.
The king dessert, the ox cake, Biscuit ice cream with coffee agar and white chocolate foam deserves to make room.
