| Dishes: score, price and comment |
|---|
| Name | Score | Price | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colmenillas rellenas de foie (Morchella filled with foe) | 9.5 | 30€ | Amazingly surprising. How can such a small mushroom be filled with foie... and make such a good combination? Tasty, soft... |
| Croquetas de Fabada (croquette of Fabada -a rich stew of beans, pork, etc-) | 8.5 | 15€ | Fabada is a traditional dish of Asturias in the north of Spain, a stew of beans, Streaky bacon, chorizo -red spicy sausage- and morcilla -black pudding). It's usually a "soup plate", so making it a croquette is quite original and risky. It was simply great. |
| Lubina asada con vieras (Roasted Seabass with scallops) | 9.0 | 30€ | Perfect combination of a roasted fish with one of my favorites shellfishes. Fine quality, light, soft, tasty... All you can expect. |
| Albóndigas de rabo de Toro (Bull's tail meatball) | 9.5 | 22€ | Bull's tail is a typical dish in many parts of Spain; it's a tasty and soft meat, perfect for stews . This meatballs were worth a prize. Delicious, full-flavoured... |
| Sorbete (Sorbet) | 5€ |

| Service | 9.9 | Perfect: nice, attentive and helpful but not intrusive nor annoying. They almost pass unnoticed. |
| Ambience | 9.7 | Calm, quiet atmosphere; relaxing, homely decoration, perfectly lighted for a nice ambience. Well separated tables (there are different rooms in the restaurant. We were in the back; maybe the tables in the first rooms are closer, and gives a more crowded feeling. |
| Quality | 10 | Can't imagine better quality |
| Presentation | 10 | Impeccable presentation (and not sacrificing quantity, that it's perfect: not too much, and not too scarce). |
| Menu variety | 9 | Original modern adaptations of the traditional Asturian and Spanish cuisine, with a ample and varied offer. |
