We had dinner at this fantastic restaurant, on the outskirts of Ribadesella. We chose the lamb from the a-la carte menu, it was so flavoursome and melt-in-the mouth, it's not often that you get this quality of food. Service was friendly and good, albeit not much English is spoken. Good selection of wines.

Our group of 6 went here on the recommendation of our B & B host and we thoroughly enjoyed it. There weren't too many other people in the restaurant, so perhaps we benefitted from that.
But the service was good, the food was excellent. We were happy.

Casa Tista, 10min by car from Ribadesella, stills being one of the best options in Ribadesella. The restaurant is not very cosy (the illumination is horrible, as in mainly 100% of the restaurants in the region) but sevice and food are quite good. Maybe too expensive depending on how and what meal you ask. To enjoy, keep in mind that the meals are big enough to ask only for one main course and the desert (arroz con leche, the best). Managed by the family, i personnally think it is one of the best options in Ribadesella where restaurants are not so good, are noisy places where the service uses not to be very friendly

Couldn't fault anything about our visit here. The restaurant/bar is fairly traditional but spotlessly clean and we had a friendly welcome. We chose the Cachopo and was advised that one would easily serve two people which it did and would realistically have served more. It was very tasty, freshly prepared and served with fries, we ordered a mixed salad as accompaniment. For drinks we ordered a house white wine but it was somewhat disappointing, although in fairness only 5€ a bottle. When we said it was not very good they readily exchanged it for a much better quality bottle, still only 10€. Service throughout was good, the waiter (owner?) was very helpful especially as our Spanish is limited.

We found this restaurant and we are really glad we did. It is by far the best restaurant we have found in Ribadesella. The menu is very extensive ,it is very well cooked and presented by friendly and helpful staff. We were here on a Friday night and it was almost fully booked. We were put into the back bar and unlike a previous review we found it to have more atmosphere and there was so much going on.. We are definitely going back.

We split the chopped squid salad (18euro), and the black rice squid (same?), and a bottle of Verdejo from Rueda (servers recommendation). Extremely delicious - very delicate squid in both, the two of us couldn't finish it all! Service was excellent, they took us into the white table cloth dining room at 7:30, when they normally open at 8 PM. Great vibe in the casual bar eats area. Recommended.

The restaurant is in a great setting, try to stay at the Terrace where you can see the beach. The food really good quality, it is expensive but great quality. We has Rey fish for two really well prepared at the grill. The presentation of the plates are great and the wine recommendation was excellent.

During a trip to Asturias, my boyfriend booked a table here online for my birthday - the evening was fully booked already so he chose lunch. (So definitely book in advance). The whole place was full and it had a great atmosphere, not pretentious like some places can be. Beautiful inside, table setting really nice, very friendly and helpful waitress, and the food - wow! We chose a fish starter and steak main, followed by a chocolate torte-like dish. The flavours were all amazing. The 'welcome' canapés were delicious, really nice to sample something we wouldn't necessarily choose from the menu. We absolutely loved our lunch here and it was great value for money considering it's Michelin star status.

We had lunch here in a cloudy sunny day. The crispy onion of the salad gave the fresh veggies a touch. The seafood pates were tasty. The galician steak excellent and the yogourt home made.

This pleasant, airy, and friendly restaurant is a great find. It specializes in very creative rice dishes.
Tried the tasting menu (a bargain) which consisted of 6 dishes and a double dessert, out of which 3 were rice dishes; they were all wonderfully well prepared, beautifully presented and tasted just superb, for example, the last seafood rice dish was cooked in sea water.
The restaurant was not very crowded for a week day and the service was excellent.
The wine list had a good choice of very reasonable value/price relationship. Had an excellent Godella white which went very well with the tasting menu; the restaurant serves balanced paired wines with the tasting menu at again a bargain price.
Will certainly return soon to try some of the other dishes on the menu. Highly recommended.
