Tierra Astur - Octopus & pasta

An amazing restaurant. I came here twice during a recent trip. The first time, I ordered the…read more"Cachopo" which is a classic Asturian dish. It consists of two slices of veal separated by ham and melted cheese. I know it sounds like cordon bleu but the cheese was some delicious asturian cheese that tastes nothing like Swiss. The whole thing is deep fried and served atop french fries which in classic Spanish fashion don't come with catsup. On my second trip we ordered fried mushrooms as an appetizer. My wife ordered pulpo (octopus) with pasta. Then I walked with the waiter up to the front and pointed out a huge crab which they prepared for 38 euros a kg (it turned out to be exactly 1 kg). They brewed up the internal crab mustard & roe in its shell like the world's most hideous (and tasty) soup bowl. Yum.

When we first arrived in Avilés, this was dismissively described to us as the "Asturian…read moreMcDonald's". However, it always seemed to have customers, including locals, and we learned that mostly the complaint was that it was a chain that pushed a kind of kitschy Asturian image with its giant barrels, its sawdust, and the ostentatious buckets scattered around to be used when the waiters served cider in the peculiar Asturian fashion (note: do not empty your glass if you don't want them to immediately try to refill it). So we tried it, starting with their selection of sausage and an excellent cheese from Asturias, and went on to try a torto heaped with peppers and chicken and a rapa (a kind of Asturian fried bread pizza, sort of) with roasted meat. Both were delicious. So much so that we returned soon after with friends, and sampled more of their food, particularly a delicious cachopo (an Asturian speciality, a sandwich of ham and cheese between fillets of veal, breaded and fried) and a collection of fried chicken breast pieces served with Cabrales cheese. Lots of wait staff, all very attentive, good atmosphere. A bonus: they sell Asturian specialities at the front of the store, including a selection of cheeses and cured meat.
