A whole bottle of cider where the waiter promptly came by to pour expertly. It's quite, around the corner from the crazy cluster of restaurants, but still in the main shopping area. Free WiFi and they accept credit cards.

Horrible experience…read more We made a reservation interior terrace for 3:30p. We arrived at 3:15p. Checking in was more akin to trying to get service at a busy butcher shop without a number. Staff were running from one end to the other. Hostess told us to go outside and find a table. All tables (2) were standing in puddled water. We thought about going back in and complaining. Honestly, we didn't want to go through all that hassle again. Horrible Experience!

I have to agree with the other reviews that the service is really bad...Had the menu del dia which…read moreat 16 euros was a good value here, but honestly the fish wasn't that fresh....dessert was good...friend had the cachoppo which has won prizes as the best in Astorias...very very good...a solid 8.5 on a scale of 1-10... glad I came as place is famous and ambience is good.... would I come back?...

We were very pleased with our dinner here tonight. The place had a nice atmosphere and nice decor…read more We arrived early based on Spanish time just before 8:00 pm. The waiter spoke English and helped us with the menu. We started with some wine and a cheese board with bread. Some of the cheese was very mild but others quite strong... As we ate, the place started to fill up with what appeared to be locals. Some were older, some couples and some families. It did not look like tourists. My wife ordered Rape fish also known as monkfish ... It was grilled whole with a lot of garlic sauce and boiled potatoes. She loved it. I had Hale in urcyn sauce over a thin layer of sliced potatoes. It was also very good. Everything including 4 glasses of wine was 63 euros. We were very pleased.

The meal was a fantastic value and we didn't even eat the included desserts because we were so full (they packed them for us to take away)! The starters were deviled eggs stuffed with tuna and little sausages over fries. Then came a pork stew and zucchini filled with shredded chicken. Just when we thought we were done the bacalao and the ham steak showed up, both over potatoes. We powered thru, except for a few of the spuds. Lunch included a bottle of cider each, poured in the over-the-head Asturian style. Our waiters didn't speak English, but with some gestures and rudimentary Spanish we were well fed, and they were very kind to us.

If you are looking for Oviedo famous fabada, go no further than La Gran Taberna, near the…read morecathedral. There are a number of award winning restaurants for fabada in Oviedo, but save yourself some money from those glamorus high priced places, La Gran Taberna is your place! We had the daily menu on a Sunday, a four course meal with fabada. It included one glass of white wine. We also had one Coca Cola, and a large bottle of water. The asparagus soup was wonderful, followed by the fabada which was fabulous! Next came a beef meal, ice cream and we rolled out of there, for a total of 80 Euro's, four of us, just as they advertised. The service was impeccable. Do yourself a favor, stop by La Gran Taberna.
