"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. It also boasts a bar at the entrance where you can order various sharing plates, plus a simple and contemporary dining room in the basement. We particularly recommend that you opt for El Recetario’s non-à la carte recommendations that will provide a pleasant surprise or two!" - Michelin Inspector
Very tasty and good service! Every dish was amazing! The “croquetas”, the tuna dish and the apple crepe desert were delicious.

I've eaten here about twenty times since moving to Gijon two years ago. The restaurant serves incredible food, and the servers are incredibly kind and knowledgeable.
Be nice to the staff during the upcoming summer season, because things are always so busy in this section of town and everyone is working so hard!
If I had to eat my last meal in Gijon, I would invite friends to El Recetario de Alex Sampedro, and order the whole menu to share.

Delightful staff, quality food. We basically ordered a variety of half portions which is a great option for tasting. The empanadas are amazing, the ensaladilla superb.

Expensive for the quantity and extra quality of the food. One waitress spoke fluent English the other almost refused to do an effort. A lot of show to eat a lot of expensive bread. A bit disappointing for a Michelin restaurant, they recommended better places in Spain and all over Europe. Deserts were great!
