The best restaurants Galice - Asturies - Cantabrie

A convivial canteen to taste around large wooden tablets the traditional pulpo feigned with pimentón. The octopus, cut before your eyes, is a freshness. Very good atmosphere!

No tourists or pilgrims here, but a local clientele who appreciate the excellent cuisine of this restaurant. The ground floor functions as a bar, where you can have a drink with some tapas. You will probably notice a large steaming pot of bean soup: help yourself, it's on the house! The restaurant is located in the basement, in a beautiful modern and warm setting, which opens onto a charming garden. The à la carte menu serves creative cuisine, executed with brio. Reservation is necessary on weekends!

Close to Orzán beach, Alberto's restaurant offers renovated traditional cuisine in a very pleasant but unpretentious setting. A la carte, zamburiñas au gratin, scallops a la plancha, and delicious stews simmered over a low fire, all served with great care. You can accompany your dish with a delicious Spanish wine with Denomination of Origin, which offers an appreciable selection. It is, without a doubt, one of the best value for money in the city, and one of its best tables!

A small restaurant like we like, with a warm atmosphere, a marine decoration and generous invigorating dishes: the seafood soup or the unavoidable fabada, accompanied by a small white wine of the region. You can also enjoy good seafood such as razor clams, cockles and scallops, as well as fish such as grilled sole, monkfish or red mullet. It is located on the port and owes its name to the old barometer visible on its facade. A good address to try!

Bodega founded in 1938, with a beautiful decoration of exposed beams and barrels, whose lids painted by visiting artists make up the curious "Museo Redondo". A la carte, traditional recipes such as caracoles a la riojana (snails) are served alongside more contemporary dishes such as ravioli with liver béchamel sauce, Iberian pork with chimichurri sauce, or tuna tataki. Also good tapas to share, such as tortilla, Santoña anchovies and typical rabas. A good address!

Iago Pazos and Marcos Cerqueiro, creators of Abastos 2.0, pride themselves on serving food so fresh that they don't need a refrigerator! Their gastronomic concept is divided into two spaces: on the one hand, the tavern, located in the heart of the Abastos market, and on the other, the restaurant, with its chic and modern setting. Every day they offer a menu based on three different fish dishes in the tavern. Obviously, the dishes change according to the inspiration of the day and especially the products of the market. Don't forget to book your table!

A charming little bodega, loved by the locals for its family atmosphere and its famous cocidos. The place, which has remained very authentic with its hanging hams, is also popular for its cheese and charcuterie plates, which can be shared at the bar, around one of the small wooden tables or on the terrace. Try the queso Picón, a blue (and strong!) cheese from the Liébana valley, or the morcón iberico, a style of chorizo from the province of Salamanca. Lots of people on weekends: remember to book your table!

Jaime Uz's cuisine is a marvellous combination of technique, aesthetics and respect for the region's products. Awarded a Michelin star, the Asturian chef delights his guests in a traditional and warm setting, where it is good to take your time. You will have the choice between several tasting menus and succulent dishes à la carte. Let yourself be tempted by the tuna roll with tomato sauce, the roast pigeon with rosemary butter or the oyster risotto with ginger. Real wonders!

It is said to be one of the cheapest starred restaurants in Europe! The proof is in the Raíces menu, which offers three appetizers, two starters, a fish dish and a dessert, among other things, at affordable prices. In total, there are three tasting menus composed of a variety of dishes that change with the seasons. Behind the stoves, the duo formed by Julio Sotomayor and Daniel Guzmán show both inventiveness to elaborate a local cuisine. The decor, sober and elegant, lends itself perfectly to the gastronomic adventure. A pearl to discover.

This is the home of one of the young hopefuls of Asturian cuisine, Ricardo González, who has been awarded a Michelin star. He retains classic elements of Asturian cuisine, such as croquettes, fabada, or rice pudding, but on this basis he offers a contemporary and non-conformist cuisine. To do this, he draws up two menus, very often modified to take account of the seasons and work, for example, in winter, with the products of the hunt such as wild boar, deer, woodcock... and all year round, with seasonal vegetables and fruit.

Located in a charming little square, this establishment steeped in history is renowned among the inhabitants of Avilés for its generous traditional cuisine. It has two atmospheres: a warm and crowded tapas bar and, in a nicely decorated room, a refined restaurant with a tasteful décor.

Don't miss the homemade sausages with potatoes and the caramelized millefeuille. To die for!

Pilgrims can leave their luggage here free of charge during a visit.

In a beautiful setting, facing the sea, this restaurant is renowned among the locals for its traditional cuisine based on seafood. Fresh fish and shellfish are almost entirely supplied by local fishermen. Also very good quality local meats and creative recipes based on seasonal products. A menu rich in choice to satisfy all desires. The service is moreover neat for a gastronomic experience even more pleasant. Without a doubt the best address in Santoña.

We love this tourist restaurant, which stands out from other establishments because of the quality of its dishes and service. We recommend the menus, which are always generous and give you a good overview of their traditional cuisine. You will also have a varied choice of starters and main courses. In summer, you can enjoy the cocktail bar and its pleasant terrace, hidden behind the restaurant. There is also a more intimate terrace for romantic dinners. Generally fast service.

Opposite the fish market, the establishment shines with its wide variety of tapas. The fish and seafood are highly recommended and the octopus a la gallega is a real success. Meat lovers can enjoy a generous beef cachopo or a Cabrales cheese escalope. For dessert, the apple pie will delight the taste buds of the most demanding palates. All this is accompanied, of course, by cider served as it should be! When the weather is fine, remember to reserve on the terrace. Friendly staff with good advice.

Or by diving into the series of tapas and raciones displayed by this restaurant: Padrón peppers, scrambled eggs with langoustines and asparagus tips.
