Visiting Oviedo, Spain? Centro — Asturian sidrerías, fabada, cachopo heartland — is the neighbourhood with 15 ranked independent restaurants and bars our review-velocity ranking is tracking right now. 14 are trending hot this week. 60% Spanish reviews. Rankings refreshed monthly from 26,567 live reviews — no chains, no ads.

You don't come to Oviedo Centro to eat light salads or skimpy portions. You come here at 2pm or 9pm when the cider starts pouring onto sawdust floors and kitchen doors sling out hot clay dishes of fabada for €18. Start your afternoon along C. Gascona at Sidrería Nuberu, where servers pour green bottles from high above their heads without looking at the glass. A few doors down on the same stretch, Sidrería Villaviciosa serves huge pans of fried calamari and cabrales cheese plates for €15. If you want something sharper and slightly removed from the cider street noise, walk over to C. Suárez de la Riva for Cocina Cabal, where small-batch market cooking runs €35 to €50 a head. By 10pm, the evening shifts toward small plates and cold drinks. Head over to C. Sta. Clara and grab a stool at Cerveceria L'Artesana Oviedo for house-tapped craft beer at €4 a glass, or slip onto C. Fruela to check out El Loco del Pelo Rojo for grilled meats and bold wines. Even those with strict dietary needs end up satisfied at Restaurante El Fartuquin on C. Carpio, where gluten-free Asturian classics come out piping hot. Budget €25 to €40 per person for a solid dinner anywhere in this district, tip a couple of euros if the cider server never lets your glass sit empty, and leave room for rice pudding at the end.

Single ticket€1.25

Single bus fare. The centre is walkable — Calle Gascona, the old town, and Mercado El Fontán are all within 10 minutes of each other.

Local tip: Sidrerías on Calle Gascona are best from 8pm when the escanciadores start pouring in earnest. For fabada, go at lunch — most places cook one batch and stop when it runs out. Saturday mornings at Mercado El Fontán are worth the early start for Asturian cheese, cured meats, and apple cider direct from producers.

Centro FAQs

Sidrería Nuberu holds #1 on C. Gascona thanks to precise cider pouring, thick stews, and generous platters of local cheeses. Tables fill fast around 2:30pm for lunch and 9:30pm for dinner.

Cerveceria L'Artesana Oviedo on C. Sta. Clara leads for craft taps and small beers. For specialized drinks in a darker setting, Cervecería Cimmeria on C. Martínez Vigil offers solid options.

Traditional Asturian cider houses dominate with dishes like cachopo and fabada at spots like Sidrería El Gato Negro. Modern Spanish dining lives at Cocina Cabal, while Restaurante El Fartuquin covers entirely gluten-free Asturian cooking.

El Loco del Pelo Rojo on C. Fruela provides intimate lighting and shareable dishes ideal for dinner dates. Afterwards, head over to Mala Saña on Pl. Juan XXIII for quiet late-night drinks.

Sidrería Las Güelas and Sidrería Villaviciosa on C. Gascona offer generous midday menús del día for under €18 per person. Portions are heavy, so one lunch easily lasts until late evening.

The chart stays remarkably stable this month with zero drops. Sidrería Nuberu extends its #1 run to 11 consecutive weeks, while Cerveceria L'Artesana Oviedo holds the top bar position for a 7th week.
