ALTERNA Sidrería Oviedo
Asturias
At a glance
ALTERNA Sidrería Oviedo is a traditional Asturian cider house in the Teatinos area, at C. Puerto de Pajares, 9. Its character comes from a combination of regional culinary traditions and a contemporary restaurant setting, creating a place where the sidrería format is presented with a modern visual style.
The kitchen focuses on traditional cooking from Asturias, with carefully selected produce treated as a priority. The menu is varied rather than centred on a single speciality, making the venue suitable for meals built around familiar regional flavours and for groups looking to share different dishes. The approach keeps the food rooted in local custom while fitting the restaurant’s current, uncluttered identity.
Sidra is central to the experience. ALTERNA serves a selection of Asturian ciders, poured by experienced escanciadores in the traditional manner. That service gives the drinks an active role at the table and reinforces the connection between the restaurant and the cider-house culture of the region. The venue also belongs to the Sidrerías de Asturias quality brand, reflecting its focus on regional food and cider traditions.
The interior is described as modern while retaining the essence of an established Asturian sidrería. That balance makes ALTERNA a practical choice for diners seeking local cuisine without a strictly old-fashioned setting. It works for a relaxed lunch, an evening meal or a cider-led gathering, with the varied menu allowing the occasion to remain centred either on food, drinks or both.
Located on Puerto de Pajares, the restaurant is one of ALTERNA’s Oviedo venues and is specifically identified as the Teatinos location. Reservations are available online or by telephone. The venue also accepts orders for collection, offering an option for regional food away from the dining room. ALTERNA Sidrería Oviedo suits visitors exploring Asturian cooking, local cider customs and a modern interpretation of the traditional sidrería.
