After debuting as Block 16, this stylish, warmly modern dining room in the Sebastian lodge morphed into Leonora, named in honor of the late, legendary surrealist painter (and Mexico City resident) Leonora Carrington. Now dubbed a “tapas bistro”, the restaurant features a menu ranging from exceptional small plates in the Spanish style—fried olives, wild mushrooms, salmon crudo—to pork belly with sweet potato gnocchi and some excellent risottos. The glass-enclosed, thousand-bottle “wine tower” sits in the center of the room, and it’s full of temptations. Plush banquets and cozy lighting makes Leonora an ideal dinner spot after a day on the slopes. Tip: don’t miss the terrific, crusty, breads made with the chef Sergio Howland’s private sourdough starter.
