We went to this most awesome Sidrería with some people we met that were from a neighboring region…read moreof Spain, and who knew how to pour sidra! It was probably the most Spanish thing we did....drinking standing at the bar, eating tapas, and GASP, I decided that when in Rome I should do as the Romans, and so I ate some DELICIOUS mussels and something pate-like called Cabracho, which google says is scorpion fish. What the heck, it was delicious. This place was pretty packed, and had a nice comfortable vibe, right off of the Plaza Mayor. I saw some folks that had descended on Gijon for the same festival that we had, and a lot of Spanish folk that were either from there, or visiting from somewhere nearby. All in all it was a great experience that I highly recommend repeating.

Not only is each course dynamic, innovative, and thoughtful but it is quite filling as well given the generous servings. The service adds a special touch, the passion for the craft evident in our servers and chef. Delectable and satisfying, the emotional journey that is rooted in the asturian pride showcased by each dish is evident. The view of the port and beach is a lovely add.

When in the Basque country you drink lots of sidra and txakoli. It's just the drinks of choice…read moreeverywhere here. Basque cider generally has a slightly fermented low effervescent nature to it.

What a joke of a restaurant…read more I was so excited to book a reservation at Casa Trabanco for my family while traveling in Northern Spain. Based on their website, it looked like it would be a charming, unique experience. I even emailed back and forth with them ahead of time to confirm our dietary restrictions. The property itself is in a beautiful area of Asturias, and the outdoor seating spaces are gorgeous. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. We arrived right before other guests who appeared dressed up for a private event or wedding reception. Despite all the people, initially we only saw one waiter. He was frantically running around and when we tried to speak with him, he ran off, actively avoiding us for the rest of the time. Another waitress showed up later only to casually mingle with the dressed-up guests. Finally, I managed to track down a short blond woman who appeared to be a manager or owner. When I told her we had a reservation, she looked at the computer and flatly told me no, we didn't. Then I showed her the printout in my hand of our reservation confirmation, but she refused to acknowledge it, denied us a table, and wouldn't even make eye contact. In total, we spent 30 minutes trying to get indifferent staff to help us, and we felt completely invisible. We even took photos of ourselves sitting at a table with menus just to prove we actually showed up in case they tried to charge us for a no-show. It felt as though because we weren't part of the flashy, well-dressed crowd who pulled up in luxury vehicles, we didn't matter. To be met with such blatant disrespect and dismissiveness is unacceptable but it was more of a burn that we also traveled out of our way because we felt like it would be a rewarding experience. A restaurant is supposed to be about hospitality, but Casa Trabanco clearly only cares about certain customers. (Did we get treated poorly because we were foreigners?? I wonder.) Save yourself the drive and go somewhere that actually values your business. TLDR; How can a restaurant look at a printed reservation and say no, I don't accept that; you don't have one. Don't bother with this place!

The tortos (small corn cakes) sampler were my favorite! The corn cakes (think small tortillas but thicker) were topped with morcilla, chorizo and guacamole, they were the perfect handheld food to go along with sidra. The clam fabada was a hearty dish but definitely a bit lighter than the traditional version.

For dinner, we had a paella-like dish with rice, lobster and clams that was out of this world. We also had cod, which was succulent and served over a bed of mashed potatoes with parsley. Scrumptious. Ambiance was relaxed but professional. I don't drink wine, but I could see they were aerating the wine by pouring from high above and not over serving the wine. Important for some, I suppose. Some of the more exciting dishes are a little pricey, but for me it was well worth it in terms of food and service quality. They also had some lower price alternatives that were probably quite good as well.
