We recommend this experience 100%…read more We were back again in Spain and went to Leon and headed to Bodega El Capricho Santa Elena Dde Jamuz. Dont just dine in but book the package with a tour. No words to explain this unique experience. We set off to see the farm and wine cellars and caves where they cure the meats etc. and then headed back to experience Bodega El Capricho meats and wines dining inside the cave setting. We were joined by owner Jose Gordon and our tour guide Alfredo who handles the experience inside the dining area and the one that is cutting the steaks table side explaining the different meat sections. Again we thank you for this unforgettable memories. Many thanks to Carameltrail.com for making this happen and arranging all lodging including high speed train and all private car services all over Spain and Portugal. We would more photos but there too many posted and youtube will show more details.

Very nice restaurant and definitely an interesting experience. Being from the Midwest USA (prime…read moremeat country) it would be difficult for me to call this the best steak restaurant in the world and overall quite frankly was a little disappointed. We participated in the tour of the farm, which was fun and quirky. Seeing the aging bodega was cool and understanding the traditions of this particular region really interesting. When we arrived for seating it was a bit of a slapstick comedy as we were circled up and down several sets of stairs, in and out of several rooms, as we were handed off from one person to another. Our server was very pleasant, but did little to describe what was being presented to us through the multiple courses and quickly disappeared once the plate was on the table. Trying to get water was a little bit of a challenge too, despite making it clear this was important to our group. The cave seating and ambiance was really a fun experience. The wine selection focuses on specialized regional / Spanish; wine pairings are not available. The amuse bouse was wonderful and set the bar high for courses yet to come. The cured / aged meats were excellent but the steak selection was flavorful but very chewy and not anywhere near the best of our experience. A good Leon local destination experience but not a culinary experience of a highly touted steak restaurant for the quality received (both food and service) at the high price point.
