Casa Lin
Asturias
At a glance
Casa Lin is a traditional Asturian sidrería and restaurant on Av. Telares in Avilés, close to the Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre and the city’s historic centre. Its character comes from a classic cider-house setting, with wooden tables, a floor covered in sawdust and cider as a central part of the experience.
The kitchen focuses on regional cooking made with produce from the land and the Cantabrian coast. The menu brings together meat, fish and seafood, with traditional dishes such as fabada and fabes with clams forming part of the restaurant’s Asturian identity. Cantabrian fish and seafood receive particular attention, while the broader choice allows the restaurant to suit meals centred on either coastal ingredients or hearty regional cooking.
Sidra has a prominent role at Casa Lin. The venue selects different ciders for its customers and treats the drink as an important part of the sidrería experience. A carefully chosen wine cellar adds another option for diners looking for a more formal restaurant pairing. The adjoining restaurant provides a setting for a sit-down meal, while the cider-house area keeps a more traditional and informal feel.
Casa Lin also includes an adjoining llagar, the traditional Asturian cider-making space, which is used for espichas and private celebrations. This makes the venue suitable for group occasions as well as individual meals. An espicha offers a distinctly local format for gatherings, combining food, cider and the atmosphere associated with a traditional llagar.
The venue works well for diners interested in regional cuisine, cider-house culture and produce from the Cantabrian coast. It also offers a practical choice for groups looking for a dedicated celebration space near central Avilés. The combination of restaurant, sidrería and llagar gives Casa Lin several distinct settings within the same establishment, while keeping traditional Asturian food and cider at the centre of its identity.
