One of the best restaurants we've been to in Spain. We were in Aviles for a book festival and found…read morethis place. You have to make reservations as they get packed with locals. But the food is sooo good. Their arroz con lobster can easily feed everyone as it's so big. The rice is so rich with flavor and they don't skimp on the lobsters either. We were going to order more but the waiter kindly recommended we not as it was a lot. Second time we went back, we had the zamburinas as an appetizer and they are excellent too. As a cider house the cider is of course good and it's fun seeing the waiters pour it from on high. The service was surprisingly good. They were super friendly and took care of us. Also they have English menus if you use the QR coHighly highly recommend!

This restaurant got great reviews so I decided to check it out. It was only a block from where I…read morewas staying in Aviles, so it was an easy choice. When I arrived, I was given the menu and I chose to get a grilled Merluze (Hake). It came with potatoes. I asked for it with no salt, as Spanish cuisine tends to be too salty for my taste. As I waited for my meal, I was given bread, which I ate...in many parts of Spain, any bread you get is an extra charge. The fish came nicely grilled, tender on the inside and nicely browned on the outside. The flavor was good and the seasoning was low, basically no salt. I asked for pepper and it made my dish perfect for me. Lots of locals were eating here, so i's not a tourist trap. They take credit cards.

Traditional Asturian food, which is generally rustic and hearty. They are apparently particularly noted for their cachopo, two veal fillets sandwiching Spanish ham and cheese, breaded and fried. I did not try it on that occasion, but did enjoy the eggplant moussaka and grilled beef. Very much a local's place, with local color, and very conveniently close to the historic center of the town.

Excellent Spanish food in an authentic setting. Very convenient to the city center.

The service was very accommodating of our poor Spanish. Definitely worth trying.

Horrible experience…read more We made a reservation interior terrace for 3:30p. We arrived at 3:15p. Checking in was more akin to trying to get service at a busy butcher shop without a number. Staff were running from one end to the other. Hostess told us to go outside and find a table. All tables (2) were standing in puddled water. We thought about going back in and complaining. Honestly, we didn't want to go through all that hassle again. Horrible Experience!
