Restaurante Kraken

Restaurante Kraken brings Cantabrian cooking to the Acuario de Gijón at Playa de Poniente. The restaurant takes its character from the sea, both in its setting and in a menu shaped around seasonal produce, local ingredients and flavours associated with northern Spain. Its position within the aquarium gives the dining room a distinctive connection to marine life, while views towards the sea and the city add to the setting.

The cooking is based on the produce available through the seasons rather than a fixed, unchanging style. Seafood and other ingredients from the local area provide the foundation, with creative preparation adding different textures and nuances while keeping the Cantabrian identity at the centre. The result is a contemporary restaurant suited to diners looking for a considered meal rooted in Asturias and its coastal surroundings.

Kraken also offers several formats beyond its regular dining service. Brunch, themed dinners and experiences described as dinners under the sea give the venue a broader role than a conventional restaurant. These options make it suitable for a relaxed daytime meal, an evening occasion or a more distinctive celebration connected to the aquarium setting.

The restaurant caters for events including corporate gatherings, weddings, communions and anniversaries. Its combination of a maritime setting, seasonal cuisine and flexible event formats can suit both private celebrations and organised occasions. Group bookings and event arrangements are handled directly by the venue.

Located in Gijón-Oeste, the restaurant is part of the Acuario de Gijón complex beside Playa de Poniente. The location places it close to the coast and within one of the city’s established visitor attractions. Restaurant bookings and enquiries can be made through the venue’s own reservation and contact channels.
