Restaurante Casa Juan Andres
About
Restaurante Casa Juan Andrés, located in the picturesque village of Castrillo de los Polvazares, León, Spain, is a culinary landmark that fuses family tradition with a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. Founded in 1999 by Juan Andrés, the restaurant carries on a lineage dating back to the late 19th century, offering authentic regional dishes such as the signature Cocido Maragato stew and slow‑roasted Lechazo Asado. Guests can enjoy these delights in one of three meticulously designed dining halls or on the rustic terrace patio, all celebrated with the “Mejor Proyecto de León” award from Diario El Mundo de Castilla y León. Reservations are recommended, especially before the July seasonal break, and the venue remains a favourite for families, couples, and connoisseurs of traditional Spanish cuisine alike.
