About El Fondín de Trascorrales
El Fondín de Trascorrales sits near Oviedo's town hall as a compact, meticulously decorated refuge for Asturian cooking done with care.

The wine list is extensive; service is described as impeccable and warm. The intimate room (few tables, moderate noise) and family-forward ambiance make it feel like a private dining experience rather than a restaurant.
