El Retiro

This traditional, family-run restaurant in the small town of Llanes has definitely moved with the times, given that the original “chingre” founded by chef Ricardo González Sotres’ grandparents now boasts a look that combines modernity, rusticity and authenticity - an aesthetic enhanced by its natural rock walls.
The gastronomic focus is clear here: contemporary Asturian cooking with a focus on technique and creativity, a respect for local ingredients, plus a strong desire to please the palate. Choose between delicious dishes on the à la carte (the grilled pigeon is a particular highlight) and two mouthwatering tasting menus: one, the traditionally inspired Pancar, the second, the more gastronomically focused San Patricio, which takes its name from the local chapel in Pancar and the famous holm oak (over 300 years old) that stands at the entrance to it.
