For seafood lovers, the Fideuá Negra and Chipirones con Fideuá en su Tinta highlight the region’s coastal bounty, combining squid, noodles, and the distinctive depth of squid ink, all simmered with fragrant garlic and saffron. The Solomillo de Cerdo al Cabrales is a standout, pairing succulent pork tenderloin with the bold, creamy Cabrales cheese, creating an unforgettable taste experience.
Sweet endings to cherish
Indulge in delightful desserts that perfectly conclude your dining experience. The Tarta de Queso is a luscious cheesecake blending cheese, eggs, sugar, flour, and butter into a creamy masterpiece that is highly praised by visitors.
