Farragua Restaurante

While I appreciate the craftsmanship of each dish, I disagree with most reviewers. I felt that for the price of the basic tasting menu, the restaurant did not deliver. The portions left me feeling partially hungry and unfortunately, were not to my taste. Notably, the citrus in the trout dish was overpowering and did not allow the trout itself to shine. The chicken however was delicious. The dessert was not to a Michelin standard in my opinion, questionable presentation and overtly tangy. I still can acknowledge that every dish was of great quality ingredients, and I can truly see how passionate the chef is with his art. The service was also professional, and the staff have good English. With all things considered, I recommend visitors to try El Recetario instead, just a 10 second walk from Farragua, also featured on the Michelin guide and your meal will be €30 cheaper, with a better variety in half-portions.

An absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and beautifully curated ambience set the tone for an exceptional experience. The food was outstanding — every dish was a perfect balance of flavor, creativity, and presentation. The chef’s personal touch was evident in every bite. Service was impeccable, with staff who were genuinely welcoming and attentive. A place where passion, care, and excellence come together effortlessly. Highly recommended!

Spent a really nice evening with friends in this nice restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. In particular I loved the lamb sweetbreads, which were so tasty and literally melting in mouth. Special mention for the chef, who also takes care of talking with customers. We had a nice conversation with him before and after dinner. Definitely a restaurant that I would visit again.

This was a very exceptional meal. The food is outstanding, the chef and waiting staff are extremely hospitable, and the price is outrageously cheap for the level of skill and quality of food. Would thoroughly recommend.

WOW! Michelin star coming soon! What an experience… The chef Ricardo is a fantastic person. The restaurant was full but we tried going at opening time and they make us eat before the reservations. The service is very attentive but not pretentious at all. The menu is authentic, local, tasty and various… a fantastic combination of umamy, acid, spicy… simply amazing! They also have a full list of Asturian wine to empathize the territori. We have tried the mistery experience: the menu “Asina” has 4 dishes (2 entrees + 1 fish meal + 1 meat meal) plus the dessert for 49€: super worthy. If you are around you must go!

We went as a family of 8 with a young child. We could tell that Chef Ricardo was extremely passionate about food and delivered an amazing 5 course surprise tasting menu for my family. The wine menu was extensive. We didn’t try the wine pairing but they did recommend a bottle of wine to pair with the food regardless. They were also able to accomodate a young child and families. Chef Ricardo personally explained each menu item and made sure that everyone was having a good time. Highly recommend coming to this restaurant in Gijon.

We ate dinner here and it was amazing. We got the surprise menu and we were very satisfied with every course. It was creative and extremely well executed. We could tell that there was a lot of technique in the meals. The price was also very good. The staff were extremely friendly and professional and only added more to our experience. We will definitely return here on our next trip to Gijon.

Amazing restaurant!! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about the food they are serving. I had a great experience. I ordered a bottle of Ribera wine that was very smooth. I also tried the sardines, trout , and rice with beef tongue. All the dishes were so tasty!! I can’t recommend this place enough! 🥂
