El Arca de Noé
Asturias
At a glance
El Arca de Noé is a bar-shop in central Gijón focused on gourmet food, drinks and giftable specialities. Its selection brings together products from Asturias and other parts of Spain, with an emphasis on items that can be enjoyed at home or assembled into a food-led present.
The range includes Asturian cheeses, including Cabrales, Gamonéu, Casín and La Peral, alongside national and international cheeses. Preserves form another important part of the offer, with seafood conserves such as mussels, as well as pâtés, prepared food, legumes and products associated with Asturian cooking. Fabada and other pulses give the shop a clear regional focus without limiting the selection to one type of food.
Sweet products include jams, honey and confectionery, while the drinks section covers Asturian cider, craft beers and other beverages. The emphasis is on packaged, speciality products rather than a conventional restaurant menu. This makes the venue suitable for browsing, picking up regional food to take home, or choosing components for a hamper or other food gift.
The shop also reflects the wider La Gijonesa range of baskets, food lots and smaller details for celebrations and events. Gift selections can combine several categories, from cheese and preserves to sweets, drinks and other delicacies. The presentation is practical and product-led, with the bar-shop format adding a more informal character than a standard gourmet food store.
Located on C. Escultor Sebastián Miranda in the Centro area, El Arca de Noé works as a convenient stop for visitors exploring central Gijón and looking for edible souvenirs or regional pantry staples. Its focus on Asturian food and drink gives the venue a clear local identity, while the broader selection provides options for different tastes and occasions. It suits food shoppers, gift hunters and anyone interested in taking a selection of Asturias home.
