Casa Mando is the León-cooking restaurant of the Barceló León Conde Luna hotel, with its own entrance on a side street, on Calle Policía Nacional, a short step from the Plaza de Santo Domingo and the Barrio Húmedo. The house boasts a return to origins: León produce and recipes of old, the kind made at home, with the odd foray into more contemporary dishes. It has several spaces within the premises.
What comes from León
The "Made in León" section is where to start: ox cecina with IGP León (€25), cured tongue with shavings of aged sheep's cheese (€18), a board of local cured meats (€28), León black pudding (€16), veal sweetbreads stewed León-style (€16) or broken eggs with matanza picadillo (€16). Among the dishes to share is the Sahagún leek puff pastry with foie (€23), and among the vegetables, a botillo del Bierzo lasagne (€18).
Spoon dishes and lechazo to order
The spoon-dish section is the most typical of the province: stewed lentils with Tierra de Campos partridge, verdinas with spider crab in cider, pico pardal beans with duck, mushrooms and foie, fabes with pig's head and chanterelles or the farmyard egg omelette stewed with tripe, trotter and snout, between €20 and €22.
The roast lechazo (€30), the rib eye and the beef Wellington (€30 per person, for two) are ordered 24 hours ahead. In meats, cochifrito of suckling pig with peaches in Albariño (€25), shank of Ávila suckling veal (€26) or aged Asturian beef chuletón at €65 a kilo. There is fish of the day. Artisan bread is charged at €1.50 per person. With a León dish to share, a spoon dish and dessert, the bill comes to around €40 to €60 per person without wine.
