Where to eat Contemporary food in Gijon: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what Contemporary restaurants to try in Gijon. This port city of about 275,000 on Spain’s north coast began 3,000 years ago as a fishing village. Today it’s a departure point for regional cruises, making it busy in summer (and making us wonder what those ancient fisherman would have thought of cruise ships). The original village, Cimadevilla, with its narrow, cobblestone streets, draws many tourists, and Cerro de Santa Catalina park at the tip of Cimadevilla’s peninsula provides great coastal views.

Lovely restaurant in the heart of the old town. Warm welcome all round with good table service. The food is delicious and good value for money, although could have included some fresh vegetables.The eating area is stylish although it was too hot with the lighting above our table dimming without reason and the plants hanging on the walls needed watering badly! We would eat here again :)

Hit on this place when out wandering near the hotel.A lovely stylish venue. Excellent layout, very good selections for food and drinks.Very friendly and professional helpful staff.Lovely bar area and comfy seating.Restaurant style area,to one side and outside terrace style as well.Upmarket in style food and drinks compared to many nearby.Pricey by comparison to nearby but very good value. Many starters are to share for two.An absolute must to try and highly recommend.

Estábamos en el hotel NH alojados y bajamos a cenar una simple ensalada y acabamos degustando varios platos, con una buena selección de vinos por copas que nos recomendó el maitre. Servicio de alto nivel con una buena cocina.

Comimos un menú degustación de 7 platos más postre. No elegimos nada. Nos dejamos guiar por el chef! - Croquetas de puchero: rebozado crujiente e interior sedoso y con un sabor a puchero delicioso. - Berenjena sedosa: sorprendente. Perfecto punto de cocción, mucho sabor y el fondo muy acertado y muy sabroso. increÃble que con una âsimple berenjenaâ salga algo asÃ. - Carpaccio de salmón: muy rico. Me gustó mucho, pero yo hago un salmón marinado de muerte y por eso quizá no me sorprendió tanto. El toque de sriracha muy acertado. - Huevo benedictine: nunca lo habÃa comido y es sencillamente exquisito. El huevo hecho a baja temperatura en su punto exacto, la salsa holandesa para llorar de rica. Acompañado de anchoas y alcaparras. Una pasada. - Tendones: una gratÃsima sorpresa. Aún no siendo muy amante de la casquetÃa, aunque la como y no me disgusta, me resultó delicioso. Acompañados de un fondo con muchÃsimo sabor y que acompañaba perfectamente. La textura es una pasada: se deshace en la boca con un resultado genial. - Sardinas con escabeche de cÃtricos: un plato sin ninguna pretensión por su producto humilde que resulta sorprendente. El escabeche delicioso, un descubrimiento. - Mollejas de ternera a la aurora: desde mi punto de vista lo mejor del menú. Alucinantes. Punto de cocción inmejorable, mantequilla pura en boca, crujiente por fuera con un toque picante. La salsa aurora muy rica pero me sobraba. No por nada, es que la molleja sola era oro molido. Perfecto fin del menú antes del postre. - CÃtricos: fresco, ligero y diferente. Muy rico en sabor y texturas. Eché de menos un toque dulce con algún crujiente tipo galleta o algo asÃ. Resumiendo, se nota la experiencia del chef a kilómetros, su buen hacer y sus ganas, su amor por la cocina y sus deseos de transmitirlo. Un 10. El personal de sala impecable, rápido, muy muy amable, encantador. Sabe lo que hace, aconseja genial, perfecto!!!La nota final es un 10. Volveré y lo recomendaré. Un saludo y muchas gracias por hacer esa cocina. Seguid con ese entusiasmo y con ese buen hacer que tan difÃcil es de encontrar hoy dÃa. HacÃa falta algo asà en Gijón. Nuestra más sincera enhorabuena. GRACIAS No hice fotos porque estaba demasiado entusiasmada y concentrada comiendo.

The food is ok, but itâs overpriced, and way too pretentious. This place canât last in a city like Gijon, where the gastronomic offer is so serious. Also, the girls who work there as waitresses managed to be the only rude people Iâve met in Asturias. Shameful. Dear LandYDenmark,First of all, I´m sorry about your bad gastronomic experiencie and about the inappropriate treatment by our staff (it´s the first time a customer complains about it) Likewise, tell you that in Gijón there are many types of restaurants, especially with a culinary offer of author cuiine and of a lot of level, much more than our offer.There a lot. Gijón is awesome! I discover a different Gijon every day.Anyway, thanks for your comment

We were very excited about dining here as it's our first Michelin star restaurant abroad, having visited various Michelin starred restaurants in the UK, however we felt a little let down by this one.Our table was booked for 9pm, early by Spanish standards granted, however, we were left outside for a while before being asked to follow someone to our table. Great, except my husband is in a wheelchair & there's a step into the restaurant.....we had pre-warned them of the access requirements and they told us they were fully accessible. Anyway, a guy tipped my husband back and got him through the door.We were the only diners until about 10-30pm so the staff busied themselves by ironing the table cloths on the tables around us and generally mooching. My jacket wasn't taken from me either so I ended up putting it on the back of my chair.The food was good and the portions were big but, as others have said, could've done with some seasoning.On the way out we were left to struggle back down the step alone....I don't think this has lived up to the same standards as other one star restaurants we have visited. The food was good and the bill wasn't as high as other places but I think it's a very good restaurant at best, not worthy of a star.
