At a glance
Los Pisones is a restaurant dedicated to traditional Asturian cooking in Gijón-Este. It occupies a historic indiana-style house, where the setting combines the character of an old family property with a comfortable dining experience. The cooking follows inherited home recipes while allowing room for a contemporary touch.
The menu is shaped by slow cooking, seasonal preparation and familiar regional flavours. Starters include homemade croquettes, fish pâté, squid, tortilla and Russian salad, with options suited to beginning a meal or sharing at the table. The restaurant also works with seafood and fish, including blue lobster, sea bass, bonito and cod, prepared on the grill, in the oven or with sauce.
Rice dishes are prepared to order in both creamy and broth-based styles, with combinations involving country chicken, oxtail or seafood. The spoon-dish section focuses on comforting recipes such as fabada, Asturian stew, tripe and beans with seafood. Meat dishes include cachopo, country chicken, oxtail and roast lamb, giving the menu a broad choice beyond seafood and stews.
Desserts continue the homestyle approach with options such as cheesecake, chocolate desserts and rice pudding. The emphasis is on house preparation and recipes associated with family kitchens. The cooking is led by guisanderas, a tradition of women preserving and passing on regional culinary knowledge, which gives the restaurant its family-centred character.
Los Pisones has several named dining rooms, each contributing to the atmosphere of the house, as well as a bright terrace. The combination of traditional food, varied seating and dishes designed for sharing makes it suitable for family meals, gatherings with friends and diners looking for a slower, more substantial style of cooking. Its location in Gijón-Este places the restaurant within the city while retaining the atmosphere of a house with history.
