Restaurante Germán

Restaurante Germán in Avilés offers the kind of dining experience that feels both authentic and welcoming, especially for those drawn to traditional Asturian cuisine paired with local sidra. Nestled on Calle Carmen, 53, this cider bar serves as a warm spot to enjoy hearty regional dishes in a space where the atmosphere leans toward familiar and attentive without losing its understated elegance.

The place is clearly well-rooted in local habits, frequented by regulars who receive a personable and informal welcome, which helps new visitors feel quickly at ease. The staff’s knowledge of both the food and sidra pouring, or escanciado, adds an intimate and practical touch to the meal, adapting each serving to how people like to enjoy their cider—whether that’s savoring the traditional slow pour or having a quicker sip.

Expect generous portions and flavors that lean into Asturian home cooking with a slightly refined edge. Signature dishes like Fabada Asturiana, Cachopo de Ternera, and freshly grilled Chipirones give a solid sense of place, while lighter options such as Ensalada Mixta balance the menu for those who want something refreshing. The seafood options, like Zamburiñas or Percebes, bring in the region’s coastal character, complementing the sidra perfectly.

Groups and families looking for quality traditional meals with a convivial vibe will find Germán accommodating, whether stopping by for a weekday lunch or settling in for a relaxed evening. The experience suits those who enjoy a meal that takes time and conversation, especially alongside a glass or bottle of their house sidra or the refreshing sangría de sidra for a twist on the classic.

Overall, Restaurante Germán feels like a natural meeting point for visitors wanting to explore Asturian culinary staples in Avilés with a genuinely local touch—just the sort of place where the cuisine speaks as much about history and tradition as it does about good company and attentive service.
