Gayle and I dined here twice during our recent visit to Potes, Liébana, and the Picos de Europa…read more Both were Lunches of which we were here around 2 PM, with the second visit a little later (and within the that approximate 3-8 PM time period where restaurants are not usually serving). We were both pleased and grateful with how we were accommodated and served. Staff English was surprisingly good, although we were still trying our best to speak the language. Both lunches were over a full bottle of local wine and a nice view of the river below and the mountains beyond. We shared the local Lebaniego stew the first time and ordered "steak" the second time. This was all a lot of food, although we did share a dessert the first time. It was all delicious, which is usually even more so when the service and setting is so nice. Note: There's a Hotel here too which is not the subject of this review.

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.

A few beers on tap which is quite welcome as well! Prices are reasonable, restaurant is large and can handle groups.

Like most Spanish restaurants, this one says that it opens at 12 noon, but the kitchen really opens…read moreafter 1pm, more like 1:30pm. Spanish people usually eat lunch around 2-3pm, so eating around noon time can be a challenge. I arrived around 1:30 to try their Fabada Asturiana often simply known as fabada. The dish is a rich Asturian bean stew. Fabada is a hot and heavy dish and for that reason is most commonly eaten during winter and as the largest meal of the day, lunch. It is usually served as a starter, but may also be the main course of the meal. It is typically served with Asturian cider or a red wine. A traditional Fabada is made with fabes de la Granja (a kind of large white beans) soaked overnight before use; lacón (shoulder of pork); pancetta or bacon (tocino), morcilla (a kind of blood sausage from Spain); chorizo, olive oil, sweet paprika, garlic and salt. This Sidreria had half portions, which was a great choice for me. The half portion was only 11 euros. I also got some cider since that is the drink of choice in Asturias. The way to pour and enjoy the cider is to pour it from about 4 feet high to produce bubbles in the glass, these bubbles bring out the cider flavor and it's got to be drank immediately. So every glass needs to be poured right before ingesting. The fabada was good but very salty (I knew it would be), but I enjoyed the beans and the sausages in the pot. Overall a great meal with great service.
