Review

Official

Set on Gijón's Plaza Jovellanos, La Casona de Jovellanos is set in a traditional town house dating from the 18th century. This historic property features an à la carte restaurant, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour reception. The restored building is Asturias' former Nautical and Minerology Institute, built in 1754. It features remnants of Gijón's original city walls. The rooms at La Casona de Jovellanos feature simple, traditional décor. Each has heating, a flat-screen TV, a desk and a private bathroom. The Jovellanos' El Chigre Restaurant serves Asturian cuisine with local Sidra cider. There is also a terrace. San Lorenzo Beach and Gijón Museum are within 15 minutes' walk of the Jovellanos. The town hall and main square are approximately 100 metres from the hotel.

Auga

Traditional Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

This restaurant is located on one of the breakwaters at the heart of Gijón’s marina in a delightful and unique waterfront setting. Guests will be pleasantly surprised by Auga’s bright, elegant feel, featuring a classic-cum-contemporary dining room with a predominance of wood, and a superb terrace overlooking the sea where you would like time to stand still! The cuisine here varies depending on market availability and is built around the creativity of Gonzalo Pañeda, a highly experienced chef who demonstrates consummate skill in his dishes along with a deep-seated respect for his ingredients an

Marcos

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Famous sommelier Marcos Granda has returned to his roots to create this project that places service in the dining room on an equal footing with events in the kitchen, as he views a balance between both these aspects as the key to success. In the elegant dining room, decked out in stylish wood, the aim is to give centre-stage to the splendid kitchen, where chef Marcos Mistry cooks live in front of a maximum of just a dozen guests. His consistent, contemporary cooking features a liberal dash of creativity which showcases the finest Asturian ingredients and focuses on their true essence via dishe

El Recetario

Contemporary · Bib

€€

This restaurant on the edge of the historic Cimadevilla district describes itself as an “urban, market-inspired restaurant”. What is certain is that Álex Sampedro’s cooking has moved away from the more commonplace dishes of the area to focus on an updated take on traditional cuisine that demonstrates high levels of technical skill in dishes featuring subtle seasoning, fine textures and the freshest seasonal ingredients (foie gras pizza, hake balls with a prawn sauce, "El Recetario"-style tripe etc). It also boasts a bar at the entrance where you can order various sharing plates, plus a simple

Farragua

Modern Cuisine · Bib

€€

In this unusual bistro-style restaurant just a few metres from the Plaza Mayor and the ever-busy marina, the self-proclaimed aim is to create “inquisitive and evolving” cuisine. What is certain is that Farragua’s updated take on traditional dishes features plenty of fusion influences and nods to Extremadura, the native region of chef Ricardo Fernández Señorán, who is particularly at ease working with locally sourced and seasonal ingredients which he uses to create his signature escabeches. His cooking is firmly focused on his tasting menus: Asina, Mangurrino and Dejalamío (everyone has a pairi

Seafood, Contemporary

€€

Oysters, scallops, razor clams, cockles, prawns, shrimp, and an array of white and oily fish take centre-stage in this small, welcoming restaurant with a maritime decor in which the sea is the undisputed star of the show. The aim of Lara Roguez, who everyone knows as the “chef of the Cantabrian Sea”, is to give her dishes an added twist (e.g. in the choice of sides), including influences from other food cultures, without detracting from their individual flavour. The unusual “logbook-style” à la carte, which includes added information that enables guests to identify the traceability of every in

€€

This restaurant, just a stone's throw from the marina and the Fomentín dock, boasts a young atmosphere and has a good sushi bar (for eight diners), although it also has a few tables. The two chefs in charge, Álvaro Gragera and Carlos Fraguas, propose a cuisine with Japanese roots based on the excellent products of the Bay of Biscay and Mediterranean recipes, through a small menu of bite-size nibbles (here the nigiris stand out for their technique, size and flavour) and an Omakase menu designed for sharing. They age the fish themselves!

Gloria

Contemporary, Regional Cuisine

€€

The name of this designer-inspired restaurant with a relaxed ambience pays tribute, along with the eatery they own in Oviedo, to the grandmother of the award-winning Manzano siblings. Here, they triumph with the more informal side of their cuisine, which is based around a traditional à la carte with hints of fusion that is particularly designed for sharing, alongside two menu choices (one daily option only available at lunchtime midweek, and a second more extensive tasting menu). We recommend ordering the delicious nems with pork cheek and prawns, the potato tortilla, and the legendary Casa Ma
