Sidrería El Rincón de Celia
Asturias
At a glance
Sidrería El Rincón de Celia is a restaurant in Gijón focused on the cooking and cider culture of Asturias. Located on Calle Luanco, in the Laviada area, it combines a traditional sidrería setting with a menu built around familiar regional flavours. The atmosphere is described as welcoming, making the venue suitable for relaxed meals, shared plates and gatherings centred on local food.
Cachopo is the main speciality. The kitchen prepares several versions of this breaded Asturian dish, giving diners a choice of different fillings and flavour combinations. It is a practical choice for anyone looking for a substantial regional meal, while the wider menu offers plenty of alternatives for sharing or sampling several preparations at the table.
Rice dishes are another important part of the offering and are made to order. Advance planning is therefore useful when a rice dish is part of the meal. Other traditional options include boards of cured meats and cheeses, croquettes and pulpo amariscado, providing a mix of snacks, starters and dishes designed for communal dining. The menu has a strong focus on hearty, traditional cooking rather than a modern or highly formal approach.
The sidrería’s location adds to its convenience. Calle Luanco is close to Fomento, an area known for its bars and pubs, and the venue is also within a short distance of Gijón’s bus and train stations. That makes it straightforward to reach without a car and easy to combine with time in the central parts of the city. The address is also close to other places to eat and drink, while remaining outside the busiest seafront setting.
El Rincón de Celia suits diners seeking regional specialities, particularly cachopo and cider, as well as groups interested in ordering several dishes to share. It also works for a straightforward meal before or after travelling through the nearby transport connections. Reservations can be made directly with the venue, and enquiries about made-to-order rice dishes, dietary needs or seating arrangements can be handled by phone.
