Restaurante Auga

Magical sunset dinner here. We ordered a la carte and the portion sizes are extraordinary. They asked us if they could reduce the sizes of our appetizers which we were grateful for. A must stop on our short Gijon trip

We had a great outside room & excellent food. My only criticism is the description of the courses was not accurate. The taco’s had no Taco and the Iberian Agnoli with Ravioli had one Ravioli and was lamb chops. The suckling pig looked the best mains. We had 2 amuse busche as well.

A stunning experience. Service was friendly and accommodative, also providing an English menu. The entrecote for the main was unforgettable, the meat practically melted in my mouth! I was particularly enamoured by the chestnut bread upon arrival, such a distinct taste when coupled with the butter! My only criticism would be that the desserts were lacking in anything of substance, and they did not leave me feeling satisfied, the flavours were not cohesive. Overall, my experience was incredible though. For my first Michelin restaurant, I truly will never forget this!

We chose Auga in Gijón as the “last supper” of our culinary trip through Northern Spain and had high expectations, but the experience fell short. The evening started with a 25-minute wait just to get an aperitif, perhaps because staff focused on a large, noisy corporate group. The small hors d’oeuvres were excellent, but after that the meal felt more brasserie than Michelin star. Portions were huge — a whole lamb shoulder, far too much for fine dining — and while the ingredients were of good quality, the execution lacked refinement. My friend’s fish was fresh but oversalted, and the potato mash was served cold. Overall, we left with a slightly bitter taste, both literally and figuratively.

We have just had the most terrible experience at this restaurant. We booked for 9pm and were put on a table outside - by 10.45 we had only just had a starter- which was some very odd cheese. We requested two glasses dry white wine and were given something approaching sherry. Service was utterly awful. Food was odd. God only knows how this place has a Michelin star - it needs to go and hopefully someone will read this review. DO NOT GO! Zero stars for most of it.

Michelin restaurant with an elegant location on the see,it seems to be on a boat. The menu is in line with the price and quality. Wines are very well selected and suggested by the staff. The short menu was really appreciate with good fish proposals. A unique suggestions:more focus on details!

We were really impressed with the food and the team. This was easily one of the better experiences we've had. We enjoyed the tasting menu (10 course) and left satisfied and talking about the meal. Raved about it with our friends (along with the many photos). Well worth the price point.

Such a beautiful and romantic place. The food is fantastic, and the service is top-notch. Definitely a great choice for a date night.

This michelin experience is such a treat. An elevated approach to Asturian food that is executed perfectly. Not only is each course dynamic, innovative, and thoughtful but it is quite filling as well given the generous servings. The service adds a special touch, the passion for the craft evident in our servers and chef. Delectable and satisfying, the emotional journey that is rooted in the asturian pride showcased by each dish is evident. The view of the port and beach is a lovely add.

Hands down the best Michelin star resto I have ever been to. Agua is located right at the edge of the port which provides a beautiful view of the sun set. The resto opens at 9pm for dinner so by the time you get your glass of wine, the sun is starting to set. As for the food, it was divine!! We decided not to go for the tasting Menu and just do a la carte. Every dish was soooooo flavourful and very nicely presented. For starters, we got the claims and foie gras. The clams were huge and fresh. It was nicely flavoured with the simplest ingredients, garlic and olive oil. The foie gras with apple purée had a thin layer of sugar on top, a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Another notable mention was the turbot fish, uber tender and flavourful. The portions here are definitely generous for the price. for €31, we got two big fish fillets and for just €25 we got 4 thick cuts of rack of lamb! Service was exceptional! Our waiter recommended a white and red wine to us each costing only €3 and it was goooood. Definitely need to come here if you ever in asturias, Spain!

Nice fancy dining with high quality fare. Great views of the port and professional service. We had foie with green apples for starter which is a generous portion and delicious. Seconds were hake with clams cooked in low heat, suckling pig in pineapple jam, filet mignon with mushrooms and roasted leg of lamb. Portions were on point and all were very well-prepared. With coffee we paid about 85€ per couple. For a Michelin star spot you're not paying much more than a nice seafood spot in town so this is a good deal. I'd return!

Loved it! Auga is a very pleasant surprise, high quality food and excellent service, I understand why Michelin is considering them favorably. We started with a few tapas, one with sardines and one with chick pea mush - and were first amused with a blanc tomato soup with a cod mousse: phenomenal. For main dish we had the lamb rack and the tuna. Especially the tuna was very well cooked, both meals were delicious and worth the money (compared to typical Gijon, this place is pricey) Good wine, great fresh bread, and did I mention the excellent service. Despite the language barrier (my Spanish is non-existent) I got and knew exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
