2 Best Restaurants in Ribadesella, Galicia and Asturias

This award-winning, modern Asturian restaurant in the old town is adorned with rustic stone walls and a hand-painted mural. There are also inventive tapas and tasting menus (starting at €65). Notable dishes include creamy rice with tiger prawns and squid, Xaldu lamb royale with mushrooms, and warm chocolate cake with ice cream. 

With a front row view seat to the fishing port, the seafood menu may call. But at this no-frills cider house it's all about cachopo—specifically the house-made special doused in a creamy, black pepper cabrales cheese sauce that takes the classic crispy-fried steak recipe to new heights.
