I've resisted reading the previous review, written by my dear friend Chris, as I want mine to have some chance of originality. I'd picked this place as one to visit on the strength of the TA ratings and before learning the last entry was written by the friend I was going to stay with in Candas. I then learnt he and his family regularly eat there. It is conveniently close to the centre, and my friend's home, tucked away in a side street and with little to indicate on the exterior what a fine place it is to dine. It's a place where you're best advised to ask which is the freshest fish available that day and waste no more time deciding what to have. Our shared salad starter of fresh tuna, anchovies and various leaves and vegetables in olive oil was very tasty and an ideal appetiser before the large oven cooked fish we also shared. There was some discussion about what fish it was (in English) but having googled Red Sea Bream I'm pretty certain that's what it was. Simply baked on a bed of sliced potatoes with lashings of olive oil it was one of the most delicate and flavoursome fish I've ever eaten. Make sure you eat the cheeks if you try this dish as they are the very best bits! An excellent Cava that complemented the subtle flavour of the bream completed a meal I will forever remember with great fondness and satisfaction. Now read Chris's review for a better informed view of quite how good this restaurant is and why you should make a point of going there while in Candas.

not a restaurant for tourists, but a very enjoyable old style café on the harbour for local people, fishermen and card players preferring their game to the TV screen above...with delicious stewed mussels and fresh calamars.Excellent for both the typical atmosphere, quick service,open at "french" hours, not neccessary to wait 2 pm to have a kitchen working at spanish hour in the restaurants around...

We had dinner here, 2 plates of their amazing zamburiñas (small scallops) done with confit onions and ham on top, washed down with 2 bottles of Albariño which at â¬10 a bottle was terrific value, we also had some salad which was huge and potatoes done with 3 sauces; Cabrales; paprika and sour cream and herb. Lovely traditional dishes showcasing great local produce with a nice friendly attentive owner.

Although this is a little out of Luanco it's well worth the effort. Will be garnering a lot of 5* reviews. All fish locally sourced from the local barnacles upto the lobsters. One particularly fine 40year old on display. Attentive efficient waiters all adept at the high level cider pouring technique. First time we'd been but it's certainly won't be the last.

This is located 10 - 15 minutes out of town but worth the drive to get to. There is not much English spoken, but we managed to get by & select entrees & mains - which they told us was too much. The portions were large when they came out but all fresh & tasty & we managed to finish them off with a couple of bottles of inexpensive white wine. The final bill was very reasonable indeed.

We pass there one day, taken by some local people who had heard of the place, and it was full and seemed to be positively full most times which seemed a good thing. It had a small menu, which sometimes can be also a positive thing. The setting was pretty and peaceful so we decided to give it a go another day. Before doing so, I did look at the comments and they were all very positive and particularly positive for people with celiac disease for which they seem to cater well. As I was taken someone who is a celiac, I thought this could be a new discovery for them. With this in mind and since we generally trust the wisdom of the crowds offered by reviews, we went there. What a disappointment this was!!! The food in Asturias is certainly amazing, sometimes totally stunning and generally quite cheap. The prices seemed step when we looked at the menu in detail but we thought we would give it a go with a positive mind since we were there and maybe it would all be worth it in the end. We ordered 3 dishes and frankly they went from edible but nothing special to pretty horrendous and almost inedible, this last category being taken by the lamb dish, one of the most expensive, which had a really horrid acid taste and a not particularly pretty appearance. Mostly we just ate bread which seemed to be abundant, much more so than whatever came with it. In Asturias you can eat stunningly in so many places. My advise: maybe have a drink here and observe the views but definitely give the food a miss. The most disappointing meal we have had here for many years and we paid a high price to be let down. Maybe Trip Advisor reviews are not as reliable as I thought, hence I wanted to address the balance and give our own view to avoid other people walking out as disappointed as we did. To eat so badly here takes some effort and we seem to have sadly managed it in picking up this place!

If I could come here more often I would. It's a regional authentic experience. From the food to the staff, they make you feel at home. We enjoyed the octopus, squid (portera)and the razor clams, which were all outstanding. My boyfriend and I came here after reading some reviews on TripAdvisor. We were debating between this place which at the moment was a #3 recommendation and the #1 place, Guernica and I'm super glad we decided to eat here because it's unpretentious and the restaurant owner has been in the restaurant business for over 40 years. I'm always under the impression that if you're near the ocean, seafood would be an affordable experience and this place has atmosphere, fantastic food and charismatic staff. Go here!

We were not looking for anything to eat as had just come from a massive breakfast on board ship. We just wanted to rest our feet and this was just the place with splendid views and a refreshing glass of local cider.

We went there because of the nice reviews on tripadvisor but it disappointed us. The fish was not that fresh, the flavor with lots of garlic and the price too expensive for the quality received. I wouldn't recommend it if you have another choice.
