Seek-out The Four Lions -brewery restaurant, great fresh food and beer, friendly and obliging staff.

The closer to the Cathedral, the more focussed on the tourist (and pilgrim) trade: catering for a customer who will never return. Try two or three blocks at least from the traps. Find somewhere where the locals go for lunch or where they take their Gran or their children on an especial day. Eat there. If you would really like a recommendation ask a taxi driver or a Policia Local.

Thanks. The same advice I give tourists going into NYC.
I tell them don't eat or drink in a 4 block radius of Times Square.
I walk by Applebee's in Times Square & it's packed with tourists.
7 blocks away I walk into what is most likely the best beer bar in the world.
Plenty of seats ( if you go before the locals get out of work lol )

There's a bar in Castrillo de Polvozares where they make their own beer, from hops they grow themselves! Alas, it's a pretty touristy place. But the beer? NICE. I don't recall the name of the bar, but it's right on the main street, and the guy's name is Alvaro.

It's almost 3 years old compilation I've made from forum posts but plenty options for Leon. See attached file.

One of our BEST MEALS on the camino was at La Mary in Leon - close to the cathedral and the Convent Albergue. Utterly delicious fresh food - we had kale salad, risotto and a black forest gateau concoction that was amazing.

I Totally agree , a great bar with great food and amazing beer and it was so enjoyable I stayed an extra night in Leon just to go back there again and a bonus they give you a large tapas with each pint so for me 3 pints and I was fed and watered

Plaza Mayor and Plaza San Martin have boundless great restaurants and bars. If you want beer, try the Harley Leon.
