Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Fabulous. A lovely dining room with linen tablecloths and napkins, a warm welcome from professional staff. Gorgeous fresh bread rolls. The menú de fin de semana was excellent value for such a gastronomic treat. We started with a silky, smooth, chilled almond soup with just the right amount of garlic and fresh grapes to garnish - simply divine. Accompanied by a crisp and fruity Rueda. Then the salpicón, fresh and zingy and not too much. Followed by hake with prawns cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. (Andrew had scrumptious, melt in the mouth lamb) Puddings were also delicious and no sign of that ghastly squirty cream you get everywhere else. We will definitely go back. We loved it ¡Estaba de rechupete!"
"Omg. The rice with bogavantes was amazing. No more room for anything else."
"Fantastic restaurant! Classic, but in a respectfully modern way. Great, super fresh dishes, great service and atmosphere"
"It was an overcast summer day and we dared to reserve an INSIDE table. The dining room was proper and had a totally different vibe than the terrace seating. Luckily the had the windows open to allow for the breeze to circulate. We shared a modern and refreshing 'salpicon de bonito' to start followed by a very good classic 'Arroz con Bugavante'. We already have a mental list of dishes to try because from glancing at the nearby tables they we devouring their calamares, cheesy centollo spread w toasts, baked whole fish, fabada, and more. Absolutely recommended."
"You will not find better seafood in Gijon, or maybe even in Espania."
