Restaurante El Antiguo — Restaurant in Gijón

Staff are friendly and the restaurant is nice. It doesn't have baby changing facilities and the food is not amazing.

We ordered the daily menu and the options were really limited. Once the food arrived we were shocked for the poor quality. My fabada felt like pre-cooked tin of fabada and the portion was really small. The main courses were fine but not warm enough. I had scalopes with blue cheese sauce and it was the quality wasn't too good, as well a few more chips would've been nice.

Dessert was okish, creme caramel with spray whipped cream... is it so hard to whip your own cream? (no pun intended).

I rather go to the Galana, 3 steps further down the plaza. Won't return on my next visit...

If you like being treated like a 2nd class citizen, then this is the place for you! I'm giving it 1 star because there is no negative scale. Staff spoke zero English (fine, if you don't care about your tourism why should I), but what bothered me the most was how unfriendly and grumpy everyone was. We stopped for a quick coffee and a bite. The coffee was acceptable but when I asked for the food menu the waiter first ignored me and then showed me his hand (international language for "please, shut it"). Such a shame for a place in such a good...

The food was really cheap quality. There was so so so much grease in the food. I ordered the “Patatas Tres Salsas” and it was just a bunch of oily fries drowned in sauces. The rest of the food wasn’t great.

The service wasn’t bad. They were quick and attentive. Inside the restaurant it was really loud so it was hard to talk to the staff and my friends.

I wouldn’t recommend coming here. If you want some good quality and authentic Asturian food theres a restaurant close to it called La Galana that I would...
