Top 10 Spanish food in Gijon, Asturias, Spain
Find out what Spanish restaurants to try in Gijon. This port city of about 275,000 on Spain’s north coast began 3,000 years ago as a fishing village. Today it’s a departure point for regional cruises, making it busy in summer (and making us wonder what those ancient fisherman would have thought of cruise ships). The original village, Cimadevilla, with its narrow, cobblestone streets, draws many tourists, and Cerro de Santa Catalina park at the tip of Cimadevilla’s peninsula provides great coastal views.

Yet again, people raving about this place. Very oily food, boring sides (chips or green leaves salad), quite pricey for the food we got. I think it is the typical Spanish food that gets amazing reviews due to the size of the portions, but if you are also looking for decent quality food on the healthy side, this is not the place for you. I won't go back.

The food was generally speaking good, however my meat was too salty. On top of that they didn't have all fishes from the menu... Huge disappointment on this 2 aspects... Otherwise the rest was more than acceptable.

Traditional furbished restaurant in Gijon where to enjoy mainly different type of meat dishes. Tartar, "Callos","Picanha" and several others. All of them magnificent. Also fish available. Very good wine offer. Definitely a restaurant to visit when in Gijon. Prices in line with the quality.

A well attended by mostly locals and businessmen; this restaurant is hidden behind closed doors at the bar of the Casino and lauds itself as serving the best fabada Asturiana in the world (typical Asturias white bean stew). Ordered it for a party of four and it was indeed excellent but not sure it was the best in the world; found very few broken beans which might frawn the purists. They serve also excellent special menus of the day at a very moderate price with include a 3 course meal and half bottle of wine.A very enjoyable restaurant indeed!

I took my parents for lunch to La Tabla on our recent visit to Gijon and this restaurant didn't disappoint. Location is outstanding, great views of the countryside, slightly out of the city centre, 10 minute journey in a taxi. The waiters are really welcoming and attentive without being too pushy. Food was brilliant. Being from Gijon and being used to the type of food, bars and restaurants have to offer, I'm so proud to see a restaurant like this one in our city. Presentation, attention to detail, creativity, everything was there. Absolutely wonderful. If I lived in Gijon this would be my regular restaurant. We had a good selection of wine at a very reasonable price. I can't wait to go back to Gijon and to visit this restaurant again. Thank you for a fantastic lunch.

Al margen de estar todo bueno, destacar que la carta es muy amplia y por eso, con múltiples posibilidades. Buena atención por parte de los camareros. Como fue la primera vez volveremos.

Casa Carmen es un lugar acogedor y agradable, con gran solera, cocina casera elaborada con productos de primera calidad, trato familiar, a un paso de la playa de San Lorenzo...Ven a conocernos.

Stopped here to have lunch...Allthough there were 3, 4 tables empty we were told there was room for us. No alternative or other time givenWhat a way to treat guests! At home Carmen it is always advisable to reserve a table, every day we do two shifts and they always fill up. I'm sorry you thought we did not want to help you. But we do not choose our customers. We reserve tables until the kitchen closing time. I hope you understand that the staff of this restaurant has its rest hours and can not be working 24 hours without stopping. I advise you to always book. To any restaurant that you want to go, to not stay with the desire and in revenge put a bad score unfair as you have done.

We were very excited about dining here as it's our first Michelin star restaurant abroad, having visited various Michelin starred restaurants in the UK, however we felt a little let down by this one.Our table was booked for 9pm, early by Spanish standards granted, however, we were left outside for a while before being asked to follow someone to our table. Great, except my husband is in a wheelchair & there's a step into the restaurant.....we had pre-warned them of the access requirements and they told us they were fully accessible. Anyway, a guy tipped my husband back and got him through the door.We were the only diners until about 10-30pm so the staff busied themselves by ironing the table cloths on the tables around us and generally mooching. My jacket wasn't taken from me either so I ended up putting it on the back of my chair.The food was good and the portions were big but, as others have said, could've done with some seasoning.On the way out we were left to struggle back down the step alone....I don't think this has lived up to the same standards as other one star restaurants we have visited. The food was good and the bill wasn't as high as other places but I think it's a very good restaurant at best, not worthy of a star.

As usual a bit hard to find with the mobile Phone navigation but when found we where easily convinced this was the place!Interior might benefit from a bit more modern furniture and decoration. Look a bit standard while the food and service isn't.We took the dinner which was absolutely a very good choice. All fresh an very tastefull dishes, perfectly fitting wines (good wine advice) made this the winner of our trip thanks for the excellent food and service.

1. Restaurante Kraken

Nos encanta el Kraken, ya hemos ido un montón de veces incluyendo algunos eventos como las cenas bajo el mar o Halloween y nunca defrauda. Las cenas bajo el mar son increÃbles y en halloween nos lo pasamos de miedo.... aunque habÃa poquita gente, una pena...La carta nueva es espectacular, platos muy trabajados y buenÃsimos, mantienen la sobrasada de centollo y el pulpo que son, a mi parecer, imprescindibles de pedir al menos una vez, pero añaden otros como los macarons y souffle de oricios que te dejan boquiabierto...La carta de cromatismos dulces es un golazo, en vez de los tÃpicos postres tienen colores, los camareros te explican perfectamente que lleva cada uno...Atención de 10 , comida de 10, decoración de 10... para repetir !!
