“ Located at the center of the city of Gijón. We found ourselves at this homey Cafe with a relaxed atmosphere. A pleasant experience and an amazing food experience. The best Fabada we have ever had. Highly recommended. Special thank you to the staff for the great service and experience. ”
“ Going back! That should say it all. We stopped by for an early lunch and will be going back today so we can partake in the daily menu because it isn't served until later in the day. The service is warm and welcoming. Super sweet for them to put up with my high school Spanish too. The food was delicious and plentiful. We at around noon and weren't hungry until 9pm...just in time for Spanish dinnertime. The atmosphere was charming. From the beautiful revolving door, the bar to the art ( an eclectic mix that works), this place just beaconed one to sit down, have a drink and relax in a place that welcomes you no matter what time and for how long. ”
“ The best fabada I have ever tried! The lentils were good as well. Also try the mushrooms with foie gras and poached eggs. Don’t forget the tarta de queso, it was something between basque cheesecake and flat and was divine! ”
