Restaurante Tella — Restaurant in Colunga

By far one of the worst meals we have ever had, especially for the price. The lobster in the risotto was terrible, I had better shrimp at a restaurant down the road. The risotto itself was dry. The gnocchi was gum paste and inedible, the meat was not cooked as ordered. Worst of all, I could honestly 'deal' with food not cooked well, was that every single dish we ordered was COLD! Not even warm. We were so disappointed we skipped ordering dessert and didn't bother eating the free dessert bites. The following two mornings we had breakfast here also. The tea tower was the highlight, wherever they are ordering the pastries from is spot on because they were delicious! The rest of the food they made in house, again TERRIBLE! The eggs in the Benedict were undercooked and the potato omelette was pathetic. Yet again, both were cold. Whoever your "chef" is, do yourself a favor and fire him/her. We planned to eat dinner there both nights we stayed at the hotel but after the first night we went out of our way to eat elsewhere. We are at Radici and it...

I have to say that for the first time in a very long time I was very disappointed & dissatisfied with the overall experience. Menu was poor, they lack few items from the menu cart. The service didn’t explain the portions, nothing. I had scallops on green pees and I paid €39 for two scallops, a real rip off! Total joke! Main course was fish and there was no carbs with the meal. My friend had duck = 3-4 slices and pears and nothing else. We didn’t have desert. Only 3 tables were occupied so room felt weird. In relation to breakfast they run out of beacon. Again for a 5* restaurant in a beautiful hotel you can’t just run out of things. They charge fortune for a breakfast. It was €29. Just disappointed with everything in that restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend it! I am sorry but for a place in the middle of nowhere you would expect more for the...

El sitio es espectacular, la terraza es maravillosa y el comedor pasmoso; probablemente uno de los más bonitos que yo haya visto. Todo, con la Sierra del Sueve, imponente, de fondo. Realmente tuvimos allí una experiencia gastronómica que nos dejó estupefactos. Aunque no tengo claro que lo haya sido por la sabiduría culinaria local, tal como reza en su web.

Lo que sí sé, es que la susodicha experiencia tuvo como epicentro la “devolución a los corrales” de unas verdinas con langosta que, en primera instancia, eran pura salmuera. Para nuestra sorpresa, en lugar de ofrecernos otro plato “volvieron de los corrales” las verdinas a la carga. No nos explicamos cómo fue posible tal cosa ¿Quizá tuvieran dos preparaciones (o más) diferentes en cocina? Lo cierto es que volvieron. Ahora sí, menos saladas, pero igualmente adornadas de atributos poco recomendables: a) Pelleyudas y b) Fariñonas. Algo siempre decepcionante en unas verdinas, pero que se vuelve inaceptable si, como era el caso, iban acompañadas de langosta. Los motivos resultan evidentes. También “disfrutamos”, entre otras entradas reguleras, de un tomate insulso, insípido y mal cortado. Finalmente disgusté una ventrisca de bonito que había sido perpetrada a la plancha. Una ventrisca sin duda, merecedora de otro trato. Hay al menos 200 sitios en Asturias dónde se prepara mejor. O más.

En fin, resultó ser una lamentable experiencia gastronómica. Que fue también astronómica (6 personas, 400 pavazos). Desde luego, como experiencia, será irrepetible. Lo prometo.

Si estás por la zona, bájate del coche, contempla el paisaje, disfrutalo. Vuélvete a subir y conduce...
