What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Los Pisones for its authentic Asturian cuisine and beautiful, classic ambiance. Many highlight the delicious fabada and soupy rice dishes, as well as the attentive service. However, some reviews mention issues with undercooked rice and slow service during busy periods. Communication can also be a challenge for non-Spanish speakers.
"Great place. The food is very tasty, sufficient dishes to choose from, you can have from chicken to seafood. Waiters move fast and bring your order in decent time. They don't speak English so unless your Spanish is decent have a translation app on your mobile. Do not expect to have WiFi which is good as you can enjoy your time there having a great meal."
Claudius Moscu
"Nice and calm, a good place to chill"
Guy Nicholass
"Some of the dishes were pretty good, but the rice with seafood (the specialty) was undercooked and service was very slow."

The Best Restaurants In Gijón, Spain
Fabada, Asturias’s main regional dish, is a bean stew made with locally grown faba beans, bacon, chorizo and the Spanish take on black pudding known as morcilla. Los Pisones is one of the best restaurants in Gijón to try this wholesome dish – possibly because it has been made here since 1958, when the restaurant first opened. Their arroces (soupy rice dishes) also come highly recommended.

In the kitchen of this elegant French-style 19th century house are three of the over 40 guisanderas that are part of the Club de las Guisanderas de Asturias. These women have given themselves the task of preserving, sharing and updating traditional Asturian cuisine. The restaurant, just 15 minutes from ARTIEM, specialises in arroz meloso con almejas (a rice dish with clams) though every dish cooked here is an absolute delight.
