La Bolera Restaurant

León cooking in Robles

The restaurant of the La Bolera rural hotel, on the Plaza de la Iglesia in Robles de Laciana, feeds its guests and those who come from outside: the house says it receives people every day from all over the province of León and Asturias. The menu is of typical León dishes, cooked home-style, and from the dining room you see the hills of the Laciana valley. In summer you eat on the outdoor terrace.

What you eat

The menu changes with the seasons. In winter spoon dishes and hot dishes of the León tradition rule; in spring and summer more meats, cured meats, pulses and garden dishes come in. Desserts are homemade all year.

The dishes the house names as its hallmark are the cachopo, the black pudding, cecina de León, botillo del Bierzo and the León cocido, and it also mentions the hen in pepitoria. The restaurant takes part each year in the gastronomic days of the cocido lacianiego and the botillo, and in the matanza days, so in the cold season it is a good time to come for spoon dishes. The website does not publish prices or a menu of the day.

Opening hours and booking

It does not publish hours or closing days: call 987 48 30 60 or write to [email protected] to book, especially on snowy weekends and during the gastronomic days. The restaurant is open to everyone, not just guests.

Getting there and what to combine

Robles de Laciana is about 10 kilometres east of Villablino. For a ski day, the Leitariegos resort is about half an hour away via Villablino and Caboalles; the 2026-2027 season is planned from 1 December to 4 April, if there is snow, with ticket offices open from 9:00 to 17:00, so eating here on the way down fits well.

If there is no snow, the Laciana Greenway runs 6.2 flat, tarmac kilometres between Villablino and Caboalles de Arriba, where the Capercaillie Centre is. The hotel also suggests fishing, walking, mushroom picking, watching brown bears and capercaillies, and climbs to summits such as Peña Ubiña or El Cornón; Somiedo and Muniellos are on the other side of the range.
