Maragato Cocido Tasting

  • 25 reviews | 195 travellers
    A wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of the most famous dishes of Leonese cuisine. We found it delicious, from the small appetizer they served us to the desserts. The stew was served in the Maragata style, in a charming setting with unbeatable views of the Plaza Mayor and friendly and helpful staff. A special mention goes to David, the waiter who served us throughout the meal. He advised us on the wine and was very professional throughout. Highly recommended.

Activity Details

Right in the centre of León, next to the Plaza Mayor, you'll find the Castrillo Restaurant, one of the best places to try the famous Maragato Cocido. This typical dish from León has the same ingredients and is cooked in the same way as the usual Cocido stew from Madrid, but the difference is that it's served upside down!

You'll taste this curious dish from León in the traditional way thanks to the experience of the Castrillo Restaurant, which has been cooking this delicacy since 1840. Moreover, its privileged location in the centre of the city will give you a unique view while you eat. Enjoy your meal!

  • First serving: high-quality local meat, stuffing and chorizo
  • Second serving: pico pardal chickpeas with cabbage and fried vegetables
  • Third serving: noodle soup
  • Dessert: custard with Astorga butter or lemon mousse

Meal Times

  • Weekdays: there is no lunch shift, you can go at the time you prefer
