Avoid if you are not a local!!!!
We speak enough Spanish to get by, but for any foreigner hoping for a warm Asturian experience, this is the worst place on all of 'Cider Street'.
From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. Despite the restaurant having plenty of free tables, we were ushered straight to the very back, next to the toilets, without a single word of welcome.
The service throughout was just as bad. At no point did any of the waiters smile or make any effort to assist us. When we mentioned that we might order more food later, the waiter snapped back, “You need to make sure you leave by 10,” even though it was only 8:30. Throughout the hour, our cider glasses sat empty as staff repeatedly walked past, deliberately ignoring us.
Had the experience been better, we would have happily spent another €50 on more food and drink—but instead, we took that business across the road to Sidrería Tierra Astur Gascona, where we were welcomed with smiles and treated with genuine hospitality. The difference was night and day.
A quick comment on the food we did have:
Croquettes: 7/10 – nothing to complain about here.
Patatas bravas/alioli: 4/10 – very few potatoes (only 8), and they were exceptionally salty.
Bread: Not served with any butter or olive oil, though the latter was provided upon request.
Overall, if you’re reading this as someone from outside Oviedo, please take your business elsewhere on the street and enjoy a far better night than we had.
