Fine Dining in León
La Cúpula de El Capricho · The Main Destination of this Luxury Madrid Tour
The central experience of the day is built around the culture of the ox and the work developed over many years by José Gordón and El Capricho.
The importance of La Cúpula goes far beyond its gastronomic proposal. The space was discovered beneath the property and later developed in collaboration with RCR Architects, winners of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, with the aim of integrating the contemporary intervention into the original structure.
El Capricho is also currently ranked No. 1 in World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026, a distinction highlighted by La Cúpula itself.
International Gastronomic Destination
The World of José Gordón and El Capricho
Years of work devoted to the culture of the ox have transformed this small corner of León into an internationally recognized gastronomic destination.
In this experience, the product does not appear only on the plate: the animal, rearing, time, ageing, curing, architecture and fire all form part of the same journey.
Architecture · RCR Architects
The Architecture of La Cúpula as Part of the Luxury Madrid Gastronomic Experience
Architecture is an essential part of the experience. The space that became La Cúpula was discovered beneath the property and later developed in collaboration with RCR Architects.
The project seeks to integrate contemporary intervention with the existing structure while respecting the identity, memory and character of the place.
The involvement of RCR Architects, winners of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, adds another dimension to a day in which gastronomy, material, territory and architecture become part of the same narrative.
Product, Time and Territory
Luxury Madrid Tour – Gastronomic Experience Centered Around the Ox
The meal is much more than simply sitting down at a table. The complete experience has been designed as a multi-hour immersion into the world of El Capricho.
We discover the work behind the selection, rearing, ageing and complete use of the animal.
The experience may include an opportunity to approach the property’s large oxen and visit traditional curing spaces before entering La Cúpula.
A recent Financial Times feature described the proposal as an experience lasting approximately six hours and including 18 preparations centered around the ox.
The menu explores different parts of the animal, textures and techniques before reaching one of the highlights of the experience: ox meat cooked over the grill.
The philosophy seeks to value the entire animal and the extraordinary work behind a product that has transformed this small corner of León into an international gastronomic destination.
