La vida alegre
The name of this pub is totally correct.
In winter they decorate their tables with candles to provide a more welcoming atmosphere. In the summer you can enjoy their outdoor space on a busy little street just a few meters from the commercial hub of Gijón.
They play music with an individual touch and always serve you a basket of potatoes courtesy of the house.
In this place one day you can read a book and on another you can enjoy a beer with your group of friends.
posted by wendypanA classic between the classics. "La Foli" is a likely second stop on a night out. Good beer, good drinks and REALLY GOOD music. Classic rock, punk and all these stuff!
Perhaps one of the most special restaurants in Gijón. It's rather difficult to find a table so, book in advance :)
You must try "ventrisca a la espalda" (just in summer) or be brave enough to taste "riñones a la plancha" or its world famous "mollejas".
Amazing!
posted by petitcomiteOne of the best places to have a drink in Gijón. Try some of the cocktails and enjoy the music.
posted by petitcomiteAre you looking for a traditional restaurant in the old town? Zabala is, without any doubts, the best option: seafood and fishes are always fantastic.
But if you are on a low budget or can't afford the prices on the regular menu, try to find a place outside (it's always difficult specially on July and August) and enjoy the "tapas en la terraza". The tapas are so much cheaper but the quality still superb!
posted by petitcomiteThe coolest place to have dinner in Gijón :)
Jaime, the charming chef and owner, has got a heavenly gift to mix the traditional asturian cuisine with the last trends.
You'll have to wait for the food and tourist are not always welcome :)
Be patient and enjoy the wine and the music while you're waiting!
