"We had a delicious and relaxing lunch here. We ordered from the Menu del Dia, and they do have an English translation, which was helpful. For his first course, my husband ordered the Sopa de Pescado (Fish Soup). It was enormous, and loaded with large prawns and clams. Very tasty, albeit somewhat messy to eat. I am a vegetarian for health reasons. I had a fair idea that the Fabada Asturiana (Bean Stew) might be made with meat stock, but I thought I would be able to pick out any meat added. Unfortunately, this version was made with sausages which had fallen apart in the stew, so it was fairly awkward, but I was still able to eat most of it. It was delicious and also enormous. Obviously, I would not recommend this dish for those who are Vegetarian for more ethical reasons. My husband then enjoyed the Carne Guisada de Ternera (beef stew) and I had a second starter of Pate de Cabrales. There was no fuss at all from the restaurant about this substitution (rather than my ordering an official second course), but in hindsight, I wish I'd realised what I was ordering was literally cheese with little melba toasts. The cheese was delicious, and unlike anything I had elsewhere. It had a whipped/ pate type texture and was quite strong. It was tasty, just a little boring to have so much of one thing. I may have been better off with one of the salads, but it's not the restaurant's fault. There was ample bread on the table that came with the meal, and the bread was good. There were several choices for dessert. We opted for chocolate tart and the sponge cake. The latter was delicious. I'm not normally a sponge cake person, but this was light and delicate, and had a subtle nutmeg flavour to the icing. Definitely recommended instead of the chocolate one, if you could only have one. Overall a very relaxing meal. Despite being set back from the roundabout, it was fairly quiet, and very pleasant sitting outdoors."
