El Loco del Pelo Rojo
Asturias
At a glance
El Loco del Pelo Rojo is a gastro bar and restaurant on Calle Fruela in central Oviedo, Asturias. Its identity combines international fusion cooking with a drinks-led atmosphere, making the venue suitable for a full meal, a tasting menu or a cocktail stop.
The kitchen works with a range of international influences and focuses on combining different flavours rather than following a single regional tradition. The menu includes à la carte dining and tasting-menu formats, while the venue also prepares options for events and espichas. A food service for home enjoyment is part of the offering as well.
Cocktails are a central part of the experience. The venue presents itself as a place for a first drink as well as for dining, so the format can shift from a restaurant visit to a more relaxed gastro-bar occasion. A dedicated wine section adds another element for diners interested in pairing food with a bottle or exploring the drinks list.
The interior has been designed with the same attention given to the food, creating a contemporary setting shaped around considered forms and details. The result is a polished but flexible space for meals, shared occasions and drinks. Its location on Calle Fruela also places it close to two city-centre hotel properties, which can make it a practical choice for hotel guests staying nearby.
El Loco del Pelo Rojo suits diners who enjoy contemporary fusion cooking, tasting menus and cocktails in one address. It can also work for organised gatherings, with menus and event formats available alongside the regular restaurant and gastro-bar offer. Table reservations are handled through the venue's official website and telephone service.
