"A must visit in Asturias region. A restaurant full of soul.
We loved it so much that we had dinner there twice on our two nights stay at Las Caldas.
Genuine, traditional, and seasonal food in a simple yet welcoming and cosy place. We had two wonderful nights, with service enriched with conversations about what to do in the area and Asturias in general. Prices are affordable and food is great value for money.
Go to El Recreo, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Asturias countryside and hills from the entrance, and get ready for one of the most memorable restaurant experiences you can have in the area."

"This is a hidden gem that we only discovered on our last day in Las Caldas.
It was so good we ate here for lunch and dinner.
Patricia gave us some very good guidance as we were unfamiliar with local cuisine. It's food made with love and served with talent in a very simple setting."
