About 12km west of Gijón, this stone-fronted modern-rustic house has been serving top-quality local cooking since 1882. Five generations of the Morán family have refined their art to the point of snagging a Michelin star. The fabada, fish and shellfish are famously delectable. To best sample the Morán blend of tradition and innovation, go for one of the set menus.
