El Bálamu

One of the culinary highlights of our 3 weeks in Spain! We had the most delicious impromptu lunch on a grey rainy day. Arrived without a booking at 1pm on a Sunday and were given a table for 1.5 hours which was perfect. Every dish was outstanding. The vibe was fabulous & the service was outstanding. The setting above the fish co-op at the port of Llanes is unique. We had the tuna belly with tomatoes & black salt (sublime), anchovies, calamari, merlan (hake) & heavenly strawberry tart. Our favourite Spanish wine (Luoro Godello) was served by the glass! The next table’s artichoke & prawn dish looked unbelievable (took a photo). Cannot wait to return!

The seafood was delicious, some of the best shrimp I've had. Some items were seasoned in ways that don't match my preferences or experience, but that could be regional. Most of the staff were very friendly, but there were was an actively hostile waiter who made requests of the table, and then actively insulted them when they tried to comply. I initially thought they had a bib gourmand, and was surprised, but their current level of recognition makes more sense

We had a late lunch, and arrived without a reservation, with our luggage. They were very accommodating and tolerable of our limited Spanish. The anchovies were excellent, and the tomato salad was superb, the smoked salt really enhanced the flavour. The local wine selection was also great, would highly recommend visit if you are in the area even if just for the view!

Cane here with friends to explore Asturias. We were really impressed with the quality of the seafood. The views in the restaurant were spectacular and the service was top notch. Absolute star of the meal was the cabrocho, a delicious fish that almost tastes like lobster!

Great food. Super friendly staff, so nice. Pretty restaurant with a great view. Immediately made a reservation for the next available date. Second time back the hostess and waiter were not so great. Hostess seemed obsessed with her call to me to confirm the reservation. When I asked why she didn't leave a message she said she didn't speak English, ridiculous. Leave it in Spanish. I don't mind grumpy staff, some of my favorite restaurants the staff are always grumpy, I just like consistency

Our best dining experience in Asturias. The waitress was friendly and accommodating. She provided great recommendations. We had white prawns and calamari to start which were both delicious but the highlight of the meal was the whole Scorpionfish. To top it all off, you have a great view of the harbor while eating. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and looking for good seafood!

The view and the atmosphere was very good! Sadly the food was somewhat dry, and the classical Spanish way of serving fish, with only the fish and some fries does really not fit for my liking. The waiters were also rude, gave us the wrong orders, and almost threw us out, because they thought we had no booking even though we did. The worst part was really the price. The fish was extremely expensive, and with the quality of the food, and the little to no side dishes I would not recommend this restaurant.

The venue and the quality of the food is superb. We were however disappointed by the waitress recommending us the most expensive fish in the menu, reading from her notebook, without mentioning the price. I always suspect of restaurants that recommend the most item by default and this one was of those cases. It was delicious, but a bit more pricey than anticipated, and I do not think worth the extra price when compared to other alternatives.
