Casa Gerardo.

Few restaurants in Spain carry the weight of 140 years of history as gracefully as Casa Gerardo. Established in 1882 as a roadside inn, this Asturian institution is still run by the Morán family, with father Pedro and son Marcos currently at the helm. The kitchen is defined by a deep reverence for the regional pantry, most famously represented by their *fabada de Prendes*—a refined, lighter take on the classic bean stew that has become a national benchmark. While the menu leans into modern techniques, it remains tethered to the soul of the coast; expect standout dishes like *pitu de caleya* (free-range chicken) and their signature caramelized rice pudding. The space has evolved from a humble tavern into a polished destination, yet it retains the warmth of a true family home.
