Ezequiel, bar and restaurant in León, Spain
Ezequiel is a bar and restaurant on Calle Ancha, a broad street in the center of León. The interior is simple and well lit, with tables arranged in a no-fuss way and a large terrace that fills up when the weather allows.
The business has stayed in the same location for a long time, keeping recipes and ways of cooking that belong to León. Over the years it has remained a family-oriented place without chasing quick trends.
The menu is built around local products, with cold cuts and cheeses served in portions meant for sharing. Cecina from León appears as a common starter, often cut thin and served with cheese and olive oil.
Go early if you want a table outside, since the terrace gets busy around lunch and dinner. Inside, the space is easy to move around and works well for groups or people who stay for a while.
Many customers come here because the grilled meat is said to be cooked exactly to the point they ask for. The restaurant also prepares whole roasted lambs or pigs for groups, which requires ordering ahead.
