They have a homemade coffee liquor that is quite strong and very tasty. A very Asturian restaurant and bar that has pinchos, tapas, and raciones and focuses on local sidra, cheeses, and tapas.

Cute restaurant with great service. I ordered the special for €6, pulpo á feira with…read moresidra...delicious with hints of spice from the paprika. A whole bottle of cider where the waiter promptly came by to pour expertly. It's quite, around the corner from the crazy cluster of restaurants, but still in the main shopping area. Free WiFi and they accept credit cards.

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.

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!

I have to agree with the other reviews that the service is really bad...Had the menu del dia which…read moreat 16 euros was a good value here, but honestly the fish wasn't that fresh....dessert was good...friend had the cachoppo which has won prizes as the best in Astorias...very very good...a solid 8.5 on a scale of 1-10... glad I came as place is famous and ambience is good.... would I come back?... No

We were very pleased with our dinner here tonight. The place had a nice atmosphere and nice decor…read more We arrived early based on Spanish time just before 8:00 pm. The waiter spoke English and helped us with the menu. We started with some wine and a cheese board with bread. Some of the cheese was very mild but others quite strong... As we ate, the place started to fill up with what appeared to be locals. Some were older, some couples and some families. It did not look like tourists. My wife ordered Rape fish also known as monkfish ... It was grilled whole with a lot of garlic sauce and boiled potatoes. She loved it. I had Hale in urcyn sauce over a thin layer of sliced potatoes. It was also very good. Everything including 4 glasses of wine was 63 euros. We were very pleased.

Loved the Tierra Astur experience in downtown Oviedo! Met some friends from San Diego that are…read morenatives from that town and are visiting their families over the holidays. This was a gathering spot for some of them and their friends so my friend and I tagged along and I tried their sidra. It is not my favorite drink but I loved the 'escanciado' or the art of pouring the cider in the glass from an elevated position. Tierra Astur is a blend of store with lots of gastronomy products (perfect for gifts and excellent packaging), a restaurant to eat a LOT (better share those huge dishes) and a bar where to have a drink standing still whole the waiters pass croquetas and tortilla de patatas at no cost. The space is gorgeous, lovely decor, huge yet cozy. Outside they have a map with the most famous products and areas of origin, so it is a pretty didactic experience too.
